Re: Karma and the Grammys??

Maybe thats what he needed, for Once to be know as just Robert Plant, and to 
receive accolades for that...... But he was the one who mentioned zep up there 
on stage, post led zeppelin on writing with Jimmy on PRTL....It always comes 
up, one way or another, and its from his mouth, no one else mentioned LZ....
I think he took too much acid or sumptin.....

It's one thing to be a guy who has a fan base vs. a guy who has family
fortunes, real lives & jobs as their base.

Other than say his direct management people and HighBob , the decisions Plant
makes do not leave families out in the cold.

And  it has never been proven that they were offered any sum of money like
that? If you have it as stated as fact somewhere that he was really offered 200
million, I'd like to see it.

I find it amusing that Plant's two faced actions leave you pontificating
him rather than saying, yes Robert... in a way you have trully sold out. Not for
cash, but for something even worse... uber ego. no ?

Maybe now that he has been vilified, he has gotten artistic recognition, 
garnered awards and accolades because of him, himself, solo..the artiste in him
will settle down and he'll return to the  roots of what REALLY put him where
he is now.... a part of Led Zeppelin.

No rant, just my ever so choreographed around a fruit ensemble random
thoughts...  but stuck in a Spinal Tap moment when the banana refuses to work.

Now tell me, if a dude wrote a song and sang I kissed a guy and I liked it,
would it be a hit ?

and at the same time the executives of these companies are getting obscene
salaries and bonuses?. You have oil prices that were artificially driven high

greedy executives.

and what's even better is that he wouldn't have to screw people over the
way a lot of these CEO's have. Plant has probably paid the price of knowing
that 75% of his fan base are a little pissed off at him as they would have liked
to have seen him do some form of work with Page and Jonesy. He even
"snubbed" the grammys a few years ago when he didn't show up for
the lifetime achievement award.
