Jack White is doing so much awesome stuff this year. The Dead Weather, all those 7 inches coming out of Third Man Records, It Might Get Loud, and the WHITE STRIPES DVD which he said might even be coming to theatres! He's my hero.
I don't know how he finds all the time.
Singing, playing guitar, keyboards, drums, with all those different combos, now the Dead Weather have announced a tour . . Amazing. I hope when they were making IMGL he gave Jimmy a few hints on how to get out there and actively make music. -
Don't tempt us, Babs.
Should just add, the notion of Spats also being a regular member is just one that occurred to me as an explanation of how it's possible to keep up the role-playing all this time, namely if he has another outlet as a regular Zep fan. But the author may just get off on creating the character. Like, for instance, the husband of a friend of mine is an atheist (not a Spats atheist!
) and we live in a very evangelical Christian area, so periodically he sends pro-atheist letters to the local newspaper for the sheer enjoyment of reading all the replies as the devout readership busts a gut in horror at his views. Tickles me, too. So, in along the same lines, note how every time Spats says something female-related, there's a reliable outpouring ofI can see how that could be huge fun. Also staying up thinking up dumb replies to people's rational posts. Because there always is one, expressed in a completely deadpan tone--the writer is a genius.

*cough* That's a nice one . . .

Great job, Pilot!
You can see those guys on the left are impressed! -
^^ Excellent!

It's a very clever, consistant persona to carry - to never slip up - after all this time.
Exactly. That's why I'm full of admiration, and why hardly anybody else feels the same way. That picture is brilliant--posting a pic where we can't see him, because he doesn't exist--as is the line about being "a real person and not some joker" (the Joker being his avi). It's like in the Wizard of Oz--look behind the curtain and there's only some guy pretending to be the Wizard.
But it's easy to maintain the role if you've got another persona on the board where you can be yourself.
In response to nine: Attention. Winding everybody up. A whole thread to himself. While the author as himself is over in another thread expressing his real views on the possibility of an O2 DVD release or whatever.

That's just part of the way his character is written, ldw, from my perspective--and it's very well done (in the sense of convincing and consistent), I have to congratulate the author from that point of view.
-
Some good news on this thread lately.
-
That pic (and the "pimples" line) just confirms for me what I've always thought, lo these many years--that Spats is a character, not a person (though he may also be one of the regular members of the board under another name). He never grows up because characters never grow up--Peter Pan is the same age every time you open the book.
He's damn well-written, but--and I know I'm about the only one--I'm still a Spats-atheist.

That is such a wonderful piece of architecture--well, I was talking about the Opera House, but it applies to the woman in the foreground too.

.....Since I was the last poster of the "pictures" set, now I am wondering if new thread should be commenced for discussion.... in Photos Section or Newbies Section,???
No, I think getting back to the pics is a good idea.
Oops, guess I should post one!

Well, I've looked at pictures of them onstage together for forty years now, and I still think the whole notion of homoeroticism is being projected onto them by fans. Same thing happened with Jagger/Richards. I'm not saying they'd have been naive enough not to know that such things gave the girls a thrill, but they didn't play that role on stage, fans just think they did.
SOME fans, I should hastily add!

:wub:

To be frank, I think that's projected onto them by fans.

That's another great story. Don't mess with Kriemhild!

I was so slow. Were you asking about my signature? Then yes Beowulf.
Thought so. I love it. I heart Beowulf!
And I was just thinking, isn't it funny to think that Robert's adorable little nephew by now must be grown up and probably has children of his own?
-
Missed the last page or so here--lovely pics, Kneb, and I heart glicine too!
I heart you both, in fact!
-
So the band existed pre-Robert but not the name, sounds like he's saying.
Wish I could help with the Walsall College ad, Blocoboy.

Wow, you really got lucky there, that's great! With me it's usually the other way around, I think "Oh, it's probably just the power source" and then learn I need a new machine, costing me $2900.00.
-
If you've reached the point of reading my mind, nine and glicine, I think I should take a short break . . .
-
Shows how long since I watched that, then--time to dig it out again!
I just remember the part about . . . never mind.
-
What was the context, glicine? Apparently in the 80s, sometime?
(Is that Beowulf btw?
) -
That's what glicine just said.
Highly interesting. I've always remembered the Saturday, July 20th 1968 as the day Jimmy Page and Peter Grant (plus Chris Dreja) went to see Robert Plant sing but at the West Midlands College of Higher Education? -
Didn't actually look much like Elvis, to be honest, though.

The atheism example was obviously just that, an example--of somebody else manipulating a readership for entertainment. I have no further interest in that topic.
As for your comment about ninelives, I'm glad to know she'll think it as worthy of being ignored as I do.
