Today I feel exactly like this tree, I feel as if I am being bent and pushed by unseen forces into a new creature. I am not sure I like the pain of the bending but who would? It is this bending , this breaking of the comfort zone that makes us who we are meant to be in this event we call life.
I have a Google News Alert that sends me updates on any topic I assign it, one topic I keep a watch over for this blog is Led Zeppelin. For a few weeks it has been a constant stream of everyone in Rock and their grandma’s weighing in on whether Led Zeppelin should reunite and tour, especially without Robert Plant being on board.
I have blogged on this topic a few times, so my views are well known on this. What is really bothering me now is the fact that well known folks like Jeff Beck or Paul McCartney who just happen to be in music think their views count more than the fans do.
I respect Mr McCartney and I am grateful for his music, it helped the world and its people at times and brought us joy. That does not give him the right to be heard and considered in this whole conversation more than the fans of Led Zeppelin. At least not in my opinion. * walking on thin ice here, because who do I think I am in all this, right? *
I just hope that Mr Page reads the Internet , blogs and really attempts to find those whose views on this that are not the same. I wonder how many fans really feel that they would rather not see any form of Led Zeppelin if Robert Plant were not to sing. I wonder how many fans feel as I do, that I would rather see them in any configuration as long as I can hear the sweet sounds of the songs I have come to know and love so well.
Like this tree, I am fighting a feeling of being the only Led Zeppelin fan in the entire world who would give anything to just sit down and hear the music live. If Robert Plant wants to continue on doing his new stuff, cool. I can live with that and I accept that desire of his as valid. I just wish he would stop doing his interviews now, his choice is clear; he will not tour with Led Zeppelin. Now can we please get on with finalizing this so some how I can manage to see Jimmy and have my wish?
