Chelsea Lately on E! (cable tv) had a segment regarding the politician who had a sex change recently (man to woman) and Chelsea commented that the person reminded her of Robert. Also, watching PBS this past weekend and there was a documentary on cats (not the musical, but real live cats) called, "Wild Cat" and there was a scene when the (British) narrator was talking about one cat in particular saying at night it was "Out On The Tiles" looking for something...

it might be Atlanta '73 soundcheck. R

Good to see you on the boards, Evster. You really leaving Cali or is that a play on the lyrics (as Plant is no longer associated)??? R

Was watching Family Feud on the Game Show Network earlier this week and the question was, "When you think of Rock N Roll Icons, who do you think of?". the answers were: 1) Beatles 2) Stones 3) KISS 4) Led Zeppelin 5) Metallica R

There's a new health-industry based company (multi-level) based out of Florida called LifeMax, that uses the JPJ sigil... I'm not a Distributor. R

Only in email. All caps when it's someone's own handwriting is different.... and my handwriting is very different. Thanks, Steve (again), for posting these cool photos. R

My handwriting is in all caps (my E's looks like C's with a line in the middle). It looks like some kind of hiroglyphics. R

Ten Years Gone , Kashmir and The Rain Song are my favorites... R

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. R

You are correct!!! R

Does anyone know which member of Led Zeppelin approached Peter Grant about an additional 50 pounds to drive in late 1968 (while making 50 pounds a week)? R

Yes. His loss was also such a big loss to the record industry and anyone who knew him, knew of his work and his passion for music. He gave artists the opportunity to develop and took chances that most wouldn't or will not. Nowadays, if an artist that's signed to a major label, doesn't instantly sell millions in the first or possibly second record, they are dropped (and left holding the bill to pay back the loan). If that mentality took place in the 70s, 80s or even in the early 90s, artists/bands like U2, Def Leppard, John Mellencamp, Bryan Adams, Tom Petty, KISS, Journey, Metallica, RUSH, etc... would have never have been around to make or release albums like, The Joshua Tree ("With or Without You", "Where The Streets Have No Name", etc..), Hysteria ("Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Love Bites", "Women", "Animal", "Rock It", "Hysteria") , American Fool ("Jack & Dianne", "Hurts So Good"), Reckless ("Heaven", Summer of '69", "Run To You"), Full Moon Fever ("I Won't Back Down", "Free Fallin"), Destroyer ("Beth, "Detroit Rock City", "Shout It Out Loud"), Escape ("Don't Stop Believing", "Open Arms"), The Black Album ("Enter Sandman", "One", Wherever I May Roam"), Moving Pictures ("Tom Sawyer, "Red Barchetta", "Limelight"), etc... which sold/sell multi-millions (as most of these albums were the artists/band's 4th or later albums). There will never be another Ahmet. R

Yes. That's the same documentary, "The House That Ahmet Built", that I mentioned above. Thanks. R

Yes. I've got the DVD at home. It's been a while since I've seen it. Let me watch it again tonight and I can give you a better response. ok? I focused on Jamie Foxx the time I saw it that it wasn't until afterwards that I really didn't think about Ahmet being portrayed in the film. R

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0035664/ Curtis Armstrong portrayed Ahmet in the 2004 Feature film, Ray (starring Jamie Foxx). He's a character actor. In the 80s he played in Revenge of the Nerds, was on Moonlighting (TV series) and in recent years moved in to more serious roles (Ray) while continuing to do tv and film roles. Music Trivia: He went to the same college as musician, Marshall Crenshaw (who portrayed Buddy Holly in the 1986 movie, La Bamba (about Richie Valens). R

Happy Birthday, Ahmet!!! We miss you. http://www.myspace.com/ahmeterteguntribute Thank you for everything. R

... and I'm thankful that the 3 surviving members as well as Jason agreed to perform upon his/his wife's wishes. I'm also thankful that other Atlantic label artists were able to perform (Foreigner, etc..) at his Tribute. I do hope the DVD will have a very fitting tribute section to Ahmet. Additionally, I do recommend the "Atlantic: House That Ahmet Built" DVD to any/all. It really gives insight to him as a person with his friends and other musicians of all ages, genres, attitudes, styles, etc.. http://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-Records-Hou...t/dp/B000PSJDQ4 R

After reading through 20+ pages related to the O2 Concert, I felt "Led" to pay respects to the man who brought us Led Zeppelin and so so many others, Ahmet Ertegun. Next week, he would have turned 85. Thank you, Ahmet!!! May you rest peacefully.

Back in those days, pretty much everyone had funny taste in clothes. Remember leisure suits, bellbottoms, butterfly collared shirts, etc...? Maybe Page was into the whole Loch Ness thing (and wanted to look the part)??? R
