Robert Plant Show This Sunday

Well, the time has come for the first special show. Robert Plant has been plastered across many websites discussing the future of Led Zeppelin so we'll do about with him. I've also been looking back at some old interviews with him. Here's the best from the Dave Letterman Show in 1985:




He's always been an odd man to interview. He either takes the interview seriously and answers questions fully or he will joke around a little bit and just annoy the hell out of the interviewer. He usually goes after interviewers when they obviously don't know what they are talking about. Jay Leno in 1993 was particularly bad. He had no idea what he was talking about and trying to have Robert compare audiences from the past to the present.

Anyway, Robert is pretty easy to cover. His solo music is actually listenable and not bad (compared to Jimmy and Jonesy). His work with Strange Sensation (2001-2005) was outstanding. He was on to something with them and I wouldn't be surprised to see them come back in a couple of years. Of course he has his bad 80's album Shaken 'N' Stirred which is one of his favorites and then there's his early work when he was trying to be a pop singer.

Got any requests? Make a comment on this note and I'll see what I can do. I mean he was with Led Zeppelin so it shouldn't be hard to put something on (unless it's "Moby Dick" or "Bonzo's Montreux"). See ya Sunday!

Could you ask if he is planning new work w/Alison Krauss/ T-Bone Burnett or individual solo work?

The show this summer was unique & well done - so thanks :)
