Here he is:
I don't know where or when that photo was taken but I never remember Robert's teeth being as bad as they look in that pic so I'm wondering if it's due to the lighting or the angle. I do remember that his teeth weren't exactly straight and one tooth on the side was slightly out and over one of his front teeth but my friends and I thought that was so cute, so endearing (you can see a bit of it in the photo below - although given the rest of the pic, who would notice the teeth?). To be honest, during the Zep years, none of us really scrutinized his teeth! Or Jimmy's teeth. When they walked into a room, everything else about them, including the sexy vibe and aura they projected, completely eclipsed the cosmetic. One of my old friends and I were talking about the time the Zep guys walked into a venue in our home city and the entire atmosphere in the room changed. I don't even have the words to explain what that felt like but I've never forgotten the feeling.

I do believe this one would be my choice for a wall cut out.
I've always liked this one:

ThankYou MSG,Roxie & Hotplant and all wgo contributed. If men wore andlooked like he did in jeans....good God...it woul be great for allwomen!!!! :-)
Really enjoying this thread.
You're welcome and hello Deborah! Back during his "hammer of the Gods" days, Robert could fill a pair of jeans like no other.
Ladies, I saw him live in 1973 when I was 13...and he was in his glory. I had his posters plastered in my room. I
had all of the band but I must admit more of him...
MSG--I am sure this helped with teaching your daughter chemistry!!!! :-)
Oh Deborah, I saw Zep in '73 too - I was 14 during the spring/summer of '73 when I saw them live. It wasn't my first time but it was a wonderful time - Robert and Jimmy were just the best! And, when Robert and Jimmy were together the combination of the two of them was even better - the air around them was so highly sexually-charged.
Haha, it gets better! My daughter is studying physics this year. I have a feeling that these pics will come in handy for teaching that too!

Mad!
Also a great time to bump it up
, for Deborah's sake of course. You can see fine details here too....

Hotplant!
Nice to see this bulge thread again.

Ummm.....yes I am just a bit sentimental tonight...
Me too! It's hard not to be, isn't it?
I suppose we should raise a toast tonight to the "Dark Lord" Talk to you later.
-
Amen to all of that.
Looks like you're fanning the flames tonight, my friend.
Feel like 14 again?

Really? That just seems like such an odd choice of reading material! I mean, I am no specialist in Husserl, but presumably what you are referring to are things he wrote around 1890 or so, where he commits to a position on logic that he then abandoned, perhaps as a result of Gottlob Frege's criticisms. The critique of 'psychologism' became the point of departure in his massive study Logical Investigations (published in 1900, I think), and the final chapter of that work in turn became the point of departure of his phenomenological philosophy - at least in his own opinion. What the sin of psychologism (I believe John Stuart Mill had also developed a psychologistic account in his A System of Logic) consisted in was confusing the thought act with the logical moment as such, which latter had to be seen as an ideality not reducible to a real act. Husserl's later position, and of course Frege's, are still taken seriously, whereas I don't think Husserl's earlier position is seen as defensible nowadays.
After 1900 Husserl focused on developing a new mode of investigating consciousness and consciousness activity that would befit its specificity and irreducibility to the world of things, intentionality for example. He developed a new method of reduction to avoid the objectivistic fallacy, which he more or less adhered to in all his later efforts, but the basic understanding of phenomenology was something he really kept working on until his death in 1938. His later works develop a much more complex theory, especially of the constitutional aspect. Instead of the much narrower focus of his earlier versions of phenomenology, where individual consciousness remains the single basic prerequisite, he now sees it more consistently in interrelation with intersubjectivity and the lifeworld. That's really what I find most interesting in Husserl, and it forms the particular legacy that Maurice Merleau-Ponty was heir to. That's really the phenomenological philosopher that I find most interesting. He was a friend of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir as you might know, a central figure behind Les temps modernes in the first years of that journal, and a great philosopher. He wrote a massive treatise on perception for example, The Phenomenology of Perception, that was published in 1945, two years after Sartre's Being and Nothingness if I remember correctly.
Given that my field is mathematics (and Husserl was a mathematician who became a philosopher), it wasn't an odd choice of reading material. It was assigned in a course on the philosophy of mathematics. During the part of the course where we examined mathematics and phenomenology, we read Husserl, Klein, and Hilbert. You mentioned that you are reading Husserl in Danish; are you familiar with the work of Ole Skovmose? I don't want to derail this thread so feel free to email me. -
Fab Four
Very cool Dzldoc! I saw the Beatles too, here:

I still have my program with my ticket stub stapled inside. I was as high up in the nosebleed section as one could be. My husband thinks it's funny to tell people that I saw the Beatles in concert and then leave them wondering how old I am. I was 7, and the guest of a friend and her mother.

For Christmas, I bought my husband: The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex: 1901-1909 both authored by Edmund Morris. There is one more book to come in this trilogy but it hasn't yet been published.
A bunch of books about philosophy. Am reading a book in Danish about Edmund Husserl's phenomenology these days.Otto, where were you when I was in grad school and struggling through Husserl's Early Writings in the Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics (in English, no less)? Seriously, though, with respect to mathematics, I did like how Husserl's phenomenology tried to bridge the gap between logic and psychology and explain the relationship between the nature of mathematics and mathematical understanding.

Hotplant, don't know if you're around today but I immediately thought of you when I saw this pic
Hell, I got a bit excited when I saw it Got to run, I'll be back later.
-
Heehee...you know me well now, Mad. I love those kneeling poses.
And of course the little hip tease.
I'm getting better, thanks.
A little Audioslave for the good ol days. :
Play LOUD, of course. Brad is amazing too.
Like what Robert once said:
Some nights I could just f*** the entire front row. In this case ...the entire band!
Thanks for that great Audioslave clip! I blasted it.
"...had the whole show..." One of my favorite Robert quotes.

Hey Mad!
I've been absent due to friggen appointments alllll week.
Those look a bit like the one's on his site, only in black and white.
Hey, he looks divine in ANY light or color.
Thanx for posting!
Hey Hotplant! I thought as much so I didn't want to bombard you with messages. Hope everything is OK.
Since I saw him, I am still in Cornell heaven. Thought it would pass, but tis not to be. What can ya do?It happens - especially when the concerts are as great as these were - just enjoy it while it lasts.

I really enjoyed hearing this NPR piece (link and transcript below) this morning. It certainly struck a chord with me as I first heard the Stones when I was in kindergarten, have been attending their concerts for decades, and have never - in all those years - stopped listening to or loving their music.

Wait, Keith Richards Is 65?By Robert Goldstein
* Audio for today's show will be available at approx. 12:00 p.m. ET.
Keith Richards

Weekend Edition Saturday, December 20, 2008 - Amid the hustle and bustle of another holiday season, the upcoming Obama inauguration and the spreading gloom of the economic crisis, you might have forgotten about a December birthday that represents a real milestone. Listen carefully: Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is 65.
Let me repeat that: Keith Richards is 65.
As the founding guitarist of the Rolling Stones, his countless iconic guitar riffs deservedly occupy mythic status — right up there with his equally legendary drug-fueled, debauched past. What you may have forgotten is that using those riffs, he has co-written some of the most acclaimed and enduring songs in all of popular music.
Beyond providing the tired (but not necessarily untruthful) quip that this event defies both medical science and every known actuarial table, there must be a deeper significance here. Right?
In today's music business, a field of endeavor where creativity can be measured in fruitfly lifespans, and where a lengthy career compares unfavorably to that of the average NFL player, Keith Richards is a titan. He's the surprisingly still-living embodiment of everything we think of, everything it has come to mean to be a rock musician.
And in a world where we are being told what we might like based on what we liked before, it becomes ever more difficult to recognize the true archetypes who walk among us.
It seems very unlikely there will ever be another Keith Richards. Who currently — and from a considerable geo-cultural distance — could totally absorb a foreign music — in this case black American blues and R&B — not as a tourist, but as a true believer? And then, by his instinctive expression of that assimilated music, personify the ethos of a younger generation desperate to hear itself? And let's not forget, also make an ungodly fortune in the bargain?
I've been listening to Keith from the beginning — that's over 40 years. Never a guitar virtuoso (at least not in the commonly understood "musical" sense of the word), his playing has always been intrinsically in service to his band and its songs.
But with any great artist who forges his own musical path, the marvel and pleasure is not so much in how he played. It's how he chose to play.
Happy Birthday Keith.
Robert Goldstein has been NPR's music librarian for 15 years. In a former life he was the guitarist for the band Urban Verbs, which recorded two albums for Warner Bros. Records.

83°F weather.
Driving down to get the mail and finding a Zep-related Christmas gift and card from one of the "Zep dolls"
Thanks sweetie! Through an old friend, being introduced to and meeting a woman who has had experiences similar to mine (although in a different decade) and spending the better part of an hour having a great discussion with her.
It's the weekend before Christmas!
-
Thanks guys.
I GRADUATED TODAY!!!!
Congrats Manderly!
-
Happy 65th Birthday Keith. Thanks for the music and the memories.
Still love you.

Hotplant, I'm not sure where the person who emailed these to me found these pics - or what they are for - but they look like pro shots.
-
58°F
Humidity: 83%
Dense fog
The cool air and high humidity are a nice change from hot and dry. We live on a hill and have been shrouded in dense fog for most of the day. Our house is not visible from below and when a work truck arrived here this morning, the driver said that negotiating our driveway was "like approaching Frankenstein's castle."

Hotplant, in addition to the hands, I always loved a glimpse of a guy's hip area too.
-
84°F
Current: Clear
Wind: S at 10 mph
Humidity: 30%
We live here for many reasons - the ability to be poolside, bikini-clad, and working on laptop in the middle of December is one of them.
-
hahahaa....Yeah, and with the "other" who could care about lips!!! And who'd even notice them!?
-
The sky down here has been incredibly clear lately, making viewing of heavenly bodies, even with the naked eye, fantastic. The recent combination of the crescent moon, Jupiter, and Saturn was amazing - very bright and crystal clear. The nearly full moon last night was brilliant - it illuminated our entire house, reflected down into the pool, and made walking on paths outside possible - even late at night.
-
I'm sitting with my daughter, trying to review her chemistry project as I'm posting these so I'm a bit distracted - not by the chemistry, but by the pics.
-
this one ^ reminds me of how he looks in my avvy. he hasn't really changed much, has he?
and i love this one.......such a handsome man. and bonzo looks really nice too, i've always felt that john was a very good looking guy.
I think he was too, Slave. You could see his spirit in his eyes, the kind of person he was. He must have been a wonderful friend and family man.
I am just a bit sentimental tonight...

Found 'em! You really made me search for these.
What a beautiful baby! As pretty as her name. Gorgeous blue eyes. She obviously takes after her grandma.
Oh and her daddy is cute too - he reminds me of my son. Our kids have great genes.
