  1. Yes, Journey could be a bit cheesy at times but, sometimes I want cheese. I attended one of their concerts back in 1983. Steve Perry's singing was on point and he was backed by a solid, and tight band. Together they put on a damn fine show. What more could I ask?
  2. I went to see Fences yesterday. It is a terrific film based on the August Wilson play of the same title. The acting was excellent across the board, but Denzel Washington is amazing in the lead role. IMO, he does his best acting when he portrays "not so nice" characters.
  3. Turkey tetrazzini. I made it for dinner yesterday using the rest of the leftover Thanksgiving Day turkey.
  4. Given Malofiy's professional reputation, I'm surprised that Michael Skidmore and the Randy California Trust hired him. Was he the only attorney they could find who was willing to take on this lawsuit?
  5. IMO, you're assuming a great deal: 1) Page would hire and retain an incompetent lawyer for such an important case when he can afford the best lawyers money can buy and with so much at stake. 2) Page is the band member calling the shots during this trial. From what I've read Plant stopping dancing to Page's tune in 1980 if not earlier. 3) Plant would put up with an incompetent lawyer on their legal team.
  6. I'm three years late responding to this thread but, maybe Audrey Hamilton meant that it was a big 'no no" to the Zep band members and the one rule groupies were warned not to break.
  7. I have fond memories of slow dancing to this song at house parties when I was a teenager. Thanks for the music Mr. Paul and may you sing with the angels.
  8. Plant and Page aren't stupid. I assume they hired the best legal team money can buy. The plaintiffs' attorneys have six expert witnesses lined up to testify but, I think the burden of proof is on them.
  9. The plaintiff must be spending a lot of money on the legal fees and experts. Did their lawyers take the case on contingency or has someone donated money for the legal expenses? Does anyone know?
  10. Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand. Stairway To Heaven is the most famous song in Zep's catalog. Plant maybe tired of singing it but, he knows it is the song people most identify with him. For he and Page to admit that they plagiarized it would be tantamount to Deep Purple admitting they plagiarized Smoke on the Water or Queen admitting they plagiarized Bohemian Rhapsody. Maybe they're rolling the dice and hoping that a victory in this lawsuit will put the matter to rest once and for all. I also find it interesting that many posters assume that Page is driving the bus for Team Zep. I wouldn't assume this. He may have been the band's leader from 1968-1980, but nowadays Plant appears to be the more dynamic and focused of the two men.
  11. I read a Page interview during which the interviewer asked him about a single he recorded during his session musician days, She Just Satisfies. Page laughed and said the record was best forgotten. I got the impression that he doesn't have any illusions about his singing ability. Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore are two other great rock guitarists from that era who can't (or won't) sing. By the way, has anyone here ever listened to She Just Satisfies?
  12. Wouldn't the above be considered "heresay"? Is heresay admissible in civil trials? Randy California is dead so Zep's lawyers can't take his deposition or cross examine him.
  13. What gets me about the photo on the right is how much you can see the man in the boy. The mischievous smile and sideways glance were already there. He appears to be wearing a school blazer so I'm guessing that he had already entered grammar school when he sat for this photo.
  14. I was around seven years old the first time I heard The Who on the radio. The song in question was I Can See For Miles. I've been a fan of their music every since. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't see them live while Keith Moon was sill living. In addition to all of the great music, I admire the way Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend seem to have made their peace with one another.
