RE: Karma and the Grammys

Steve -
The "conjurer" remarks struck me as a bit odd, too, as well as Robert
being the only one to bust out the term "Led Zeppelin."  Clearly he
felt the need to mention Jimmy as co-writer (it was the right thing to
do, but can you imagine the tar and feathering he'd have taken on
every LZ forum and likely the rock press as well had he not?) but he
absolutely did not need to throw in "post Led Zeppelin"  to the fan
cheers he had to know would follow.  It is what it is - people LOVE
that band, even forty years later.  I've given up trying to analyze
Robert's mindset, but did he have some subconcious need to affiliate
himself publicly with what surely even he can admit is his lasting
legacy?  With the exception of two albums, I've always really enjoyed
his solo stuff  - I even bought the box set and saw RS twice last
summer - but in 100 years, it is the mighty Zep that will still be
standing!

.... Percy kept referring to him as the "conjurer" on Sunday. I don't think he's
borrowed any of Jimmy's old ceremonial robes or anything, but it still
seems very weird that Plant is willing to give up that much control
