Strider, on your first point above, I agree writing things out can be a catharsis. Led Zep Girl, it can be hurtful to be shut out, but as Strider said, you did your part in trying to resolve a conflict. The other party may come around at some point.
Re: Weird Al. I think it was last week when I was looking at some Zeppelin videos in Youtube, I stumbled across an "interview" with Al and Robert Plant. Very funny.
