Kindest / RE: (TV) Unlikely Verlaine mention



Plant appeared on PBS' "The Charlie Rose Show" late last 
night. From what he discussed with Rose, I'd have to agree 
with what Keith wrote.

And Plant also said that Tom Verlaine was the kindest, bravest, 
warmest, most wonderful human being he'd ever known in his life.

Leo (who saw Led Zeppelin at the old Boston garden in 1970---opening act
was the MC-5)

Plant is cool, really. Indian music, African, Arabic, folk, blues and a 
great fondness for West Coast psychedelic stuff  - it's all in there. 
Check out Plant and Page - Unledded (ho ho) - offered the chance to do 
the Unplugged thing they went off to Morocco and did it with local 
musicians. Great album, really.

Start with Physical Graffiti and work your way backwards. Hey, everybody 
was doing this in the early '70s, they just didn't do it so well - but 
then they didn't invent the thing. Another quote from Plant in the RT: 
"If all people think I'm capable of is Stairway to Heaven then frankly 
I'm doomed". Not for nothing is Page one of Richard Lloyd's favourite 
guitarists - witness the Zeppelin cover on his last tour.
