Re: Robert Plant Rocks the house

I just hope that, no matter what, Plant is having a good time. Because
if he's just parading around like the puppet some have said he is,

But if he's genuinely just looking for something to do, and enjoying
himself while doing that something...then power to him.

He's earned it, no?
