I met Robert Plant yesterday

that's right. Robert Plant, former frontman of Led Zepellin. I met him at work, shook his hand got an autograph. I was dead chuffed as well as I am a big Led Zep fan (Hendrix, Cream etc... love all that sort of stuff).
I was a little gutted though as most other people seemed to know in advance that he was coming in so everyone had a Led Zep CD ready to get signed, yet I've probably got more Led Zep than everyone at work put together but just didn't have anything with me. The best thing i could think of to get signed was my silver motorbike helmet, which i guess is fairly rock n roll. Plant was pretty impressed anyway.

Anyway, just thought i'd mention it, he seems a real nice bloke, not at all big headed.

A legend (in my eyes anyway)...

Yep, Planty IS a genuinelly nice bloke who likes nothing better than watching Kidderminster Harriers with a few pints of Banks's afterwards.
One of the few dinosaurs out there who isn't up his own arse

yeh robert plant seems ok for someone who sold his soul to the devil :P lol....i read somewhere that whole losing a child thing was his humbling thing....anyway led zep are overrated....and that comes from a realll rock fan......Cream are and always will be the best and far more important despite record sales.....cream wrote their songs rather than ripped off/covered and claimed credit/ borrowed bits from everyone else....yes even their main songs....weve all heard the plagiarism argument so i wont rehash....but its tru...
