Re: Plant given a CBE

SUPER happy for Robert!!  What a great piece of news to end the year.

I am not sure why Jimmy wasn't honoured for his contributions to
music, but I guarantee you he will be.  They ALL should be, but  Jimmy
is definitely nominated for a Knighthood for contributions to music in
the next round of candidates to be considered by Her Majesty.
