Re: Harvey speak...

[Wyatt Brake <wyattbrake@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, that was odd.  Harvey Goldsmith + Harvey Weinstein = Harvey Goldstein?

"Clear Channel entertainment president John Sykes, who produced the
concert with Weinstein, explains, "Harvey found out Led Zeppelin was
being honoured by The Kennedy Center, and he chartered a plane to
(Washington) D.C. and was like, 'We're going to get presidents Obama
and Clinton to get Led Zeppelin back together'." The Hollywood
producer reveals Plant and Jones agreed to perform but Page nixed the
Madison Square Garden show, which featured the Rolling Stones, Bruce
Springsteen, Coldplay, Billy Joel and Alicia Keys and raised more than
$53 million (£35.3 million) for charity."

Very difficult to believe, but it also sounds like a very bizarre
thing to make up out of thin air, so one would think there's at least
some basis for the story, even if it got discombobulated on the way to
being reported.
