What if the docs trump took were all stuff that incriminated people on the left like pelosi schumer, schiff, nadler???
What they do in plain sight is incriminating enough. Bunch of oath violating swamp creatures.
The 30 FBI agents they sent to Florida to conduct a government-sanctioned home invasion are coming back with cocktail napkins.

Another really creepy request.
Not at all but there is something to be said for appreciating some tender moments for the once in a lifetime, never to be repeated moments that they are. I recall when Virginia Parker, the actress who played the blonde damsel in distress in Robert's fantasy sequence posted here. She shared with us some recent photos of herself with a number of oil paintings she had done. Life moved on for everyone in that film. Whatever they choose to share now, I find it all very interesting.

That’s funny. Easy to read which states are the most reliant on welfare. As far as farming, I live in one of the richest farming areas in the country, Ca produces the most vegetables. Fruit, I believe that Ca is 3rd in Beef production. Certainly there is far more to farming then the 3 mentioned. But for you to try and deny facts is just ridiculous. The state that I live in is the 5th largest economy in the world. The top 10 poorest states are absolutely Red states. Crime is also based on a per capita rating. As an example East Palo Alto was the Murder capitol of the country in the early 1990’s, there are less then 10k people who lived there. Call it Community College, or just look at facts.
The 5th largest economy in the world IF it was a sovereign nation -- but it ain't. I haven't denied anything. What I did say is in a Red State/Blue State Revolution, which may well be coming, the Red States would easily prevail.

You can’t be serious. Cali alone is responsible for over half the countries fruit and vegetables. We can look at our economy, and any number of metrics. 12 percent of our population lives in Cali, we are responsible for 15% of the National GDP. What a jackass thing to say. The country wouldn’t be what it is without the contributions of NY and California. You’re a funny little conspiracy theorist. You and your peaceful separation. Talk tough on a forum.
No doubt California can claim more than half the country's fruits and vegetables.

Yes. It is true that "blue" states pay more in taxes than they receive from the Federal Government, while for "red" states this is reversed. However this is a very strange thing for liberals to object to, because it's entirely because of the progressive taxation system they support! In fact it's reflected within states (urban vs rural), not just between them. I.e., richer people (who, by the nature of the progressive system pay more taxes) tend to live in urban/blue areas, while poorer people (who again, by the nature of the progressive system pay less taxes) tend to live in rural/red ares. However, it's ridiculous to claim that urban/blue areas "subsidize/support" rural/red areas, the reverse is likely more true. (And it's even more absurd to claim that the well-known financial train-wreck conditions of cities and blue states are because of tax imbalances with conservative regions. It's their appalling profligacy that's to blame.)
BTW, murder rates in America follow a demographic pattern that is very identifiable if you're not blinded by PC. And there is a common denominator in poor Southern rural areas and rich Northern urban centers, for anyone who cares to open their eyes.
The American Red State/Blue State Revolution. Game on, let's do this. The Red State Army has the farmers, truckers, hunters and auto mechanics. The Blue State Army has the street vagrants, game developers and people who don't know which bathroom to use.

That’s rich. How about just look at the article. You are absolutely incorrect. Just as all of the poorest states, and states that are most reliant on welfare are Red States. You can try and spin it anyway you want. Blue states take care of Red states.
Time to rebut that community college level talking point once and for all. Where do you think the vast majority of farming and food production occurs in this country?

Mississippi — a state that neither conjures up weak on crime images nor Democratic officeholders — topped the charts with a 2020 murder rate twice that of blue Illinois, thrice that of bluer California, and four times that of bluest New York. The red states of Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Missouri rounded out the top five and each had murder rates at least six times Massachusetts, four times New Jersey and just shy of twice that of Michigan. These blue states are home to the “crime-is-out-of-control” cities you read about daily — Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, Newark and Detroit. They generate the headlines, the outrage and the political backlash.
Yet, media coverage is essentially mum about Lexington, Kentucky, which has set back-to-back murder records, has a homicide rate twice that of New York City and has a Republican mayor. Tulsa and Oklahoma City have Republican mayors, a Republican governor and murder rates that dwarf that of Los Angeles. Jacksonville was the murder capital of Florida in 2020 with its Republican mayor, governor and a stratospheric homicide rate that if it were matched in New York City would’ve added more than 1,000 murders that year.
And to top it off, the homicide rate in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) San Francisco was half that of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) Bakersfield, the largest city in Kern County and one with a Republican mayor — with overwhelming Trump support and not a whiff of flirtation with defund the police movements. In fact, the murder capital of California for six years running is sleepy Kern County, 130 miles from Los Angeles and 306 miles from San Francisco, the two California locales most often associated with the crime-is-out-of-control national headlines that have dominated U.S. crime and political coverage.
There are murder rates, and then there is perspective. Yes, Lexington, KY had 35 homicides in 2021. Chicago, IL had 836.

So then back to the Kennedy Center one last time where Robert was not fighting to hold back tears for any one reason, but rather a culmination of reasons. There were in fact many reasons why this otherwise brilliant, talented, stable, strong man named Robert Plant could not control his emotions that night, hard as he tried, but it was mostly the pain brought about by Jimmy. And that’s enough about that.
Why can't it just be he was pleasantly surprised by Jason's participation in the tribute and moved to tears by the bowler hats the late John Bonham was known for wearing?

sam_webmaster truly is an enigma. Despite 20+ years of online interaction I don't feel as if I know him any better now than when it first began. Of course I do know he does own a few guitars so I should not be so surprised he has released some of his demos, but I am. It's out of character for him to be so self-revealing, but I appreciate it.

And drive by Kezar Stadium (SE end of Golden Gate Park) where they played in 1973. I can't imagine the hippies next door in the Haight were very happy. 😄
I visited the site of Kezar Stadium almost 20 years ago. Not much of the original structure remains. Well worth a visit though. It was also featured in the film Dirt Harry.

A bit unrealistic tbh that a band bringing together the likes of Page and Rodgers would last any longer than it did. Ticket sales weren't great for the second tour; it may have been Chris was out of the loop on the business affairs of the band.
Jimmy said it was a two-album contract. He issued a press release in November 1986 that he was leaving The Firm to begin work on a solo album. He once said that touring with Paul was like touring with his grandmother. People can take from that what they will.

Saw on Twitter that Zeppelin played a 45 minute set at some place called Behan's in (West Park?) New Jersey in 1975.
First of all can't believe I would have missed this and second of all has someone got the recording, if it exists? I would so love to hear it. Searched all my usual haunts and can not find it anywhere.
Many thanks.
Wed, December 10, 1975: Behan's West Park in St. Helier, Jersey
Led Zeppelin join resident pianist Norman Hale for an impromptu 45-minute set, making good on a promise made Dec 3rd to return. No known recordings exist, but there are photographs.

John Paul Jones with Herbie Goins and The Nightimers (1960s)
In the Led Zeppelin book 'The Origin of the Species' by Adam Clayson, he states (pg 73) that John Paul Jones used to play organ for Herbie Goins and the Nightimers to let off steam after his studio sessions. Seeking further specifics/confirmation of this via anecdotes, gig advertisements, photographs and so forth. I put this inquiry forward today to Mr. Goins in Rome and am awaiting a reply.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American singer Herbie Goins found himself in London after leaving the US armed forces in 1963. In 1964 he formed a band called the Nightimers and set about bringing soul music to the UK.
Goins' first documented recordings are believed to be a guest spot as a featured vocalist on Alexis Korner's "Live At The Cavern" LP from 64. Goins' "No.1 In Your Heart" LP was the only full length the band released, although there is a 7″ EP & at least 2-3 45s as well. The album features tracks recorded both in 1966 & 1967, they are a mix of covers & originals. They are all really great soul & the album appears to have been released or re-released under a couple of different titles: "Soul Soul Soul" & "Soultime". There seems to be some speculation as to if the LP features John McLaughlin on guitar or not, because although he was the original guitarist in the Nightimers, he left the band in late 1966. One of his compositions "Cruisin'" still appears on the LP.
This from HerbieGoins.com:
After some years with Alexis Korner Herbie forms his own group, The Nightimers, and orients himself mostly towards Rhythm and Blues. Once again he has in his band great talent musicians like John Mc Laughlin at the guitar, just to tell one name. It is an immediate success. Herbie becomes one of the favourite singers of the Mods, a movement really very important in England at that time. They follow him in all the historical London Clubs, such as Flamingo, Marquee, Sylibles. His song “Number One in Your Heart” becomes Mods’ hymn. EMI engages him and his records enter in the charts in most of the European countries and, after years, will become great demand for collectors of rare records.
During this time, memorable are the jam sessions of Herbie with Otis Redding (in concert at the Scoth Club of London), with John Lee Hooker (in concert at the Norwick Jazz Club at Norwick), and with Jimi Hendrix, still unknown and present at the Blaises Club in London every Monday for the appointment with Herbie’s concert.
One of the great fans of Herbie Goins was a young Robert Plant, who, today, still remembers his songs word by word (also Robert Plant, after time, became part of the Alexis Korner Blues Incorporated).
This from forum member swandown:
My notes show that this took place in 1966, when John McLaughlin was a member of the Night Timers (Jones and McLaughlin had previously played together in Jet Harris & Tony Meehan's backing band, and McLaughlin subsequently invited Jones to jam with the Night Timers).
sam_webmaster, if an opportunity presents itself, please consider asking JPJ if he recalls anything at all about the above. Twelve years into the search, I have still found nothing further about it.

Can anyone substantiate who the MC was for Led Zeppelin's 1970 Royal Albert Hall concert?
I'm told it was DJ Gino and this is a photo of him but I have been unable to corroborate it.
