The sign above their heads is perspex. It is meant to be viewed from behind where they are standing - it is above the reception desk. The picture has been reversed - they are not left handed.
Oh well, I was close.
-
Initially, I suspected this image was inadvertently reversed, but the hotel reception sign is clearly not reversed. So, unless they were clowning for the camera it's inexplicable
why they are all signing in left-handed. I will post pictures from my collection of them
signing autographs in an attempt to prove or disprove they wrote right or left handed.
Others are also encouraged to post any they may have. Here are two of Robert:
Renaissance Hotel Oklahoma City March 12, 2005:
Poznan, Poland Malta Theatre Festival June 26, 2007:
Knebby once explained this in a way I understood but have now forgotten--it has something to do with a mirror.
Anyway, the image is reversed and they were all using their right hands, I remember that much! (The mirror part explained why the sign was the right way around.)Sorry my memory isn't working better.
Edit: I think the point is that the mirror is behind them, so the sign SHOULD be backwards, because it's being reflected in the mirror, but somebody reversed the image so that the sign would read the right way around. Don't know if that makes sense.

Let's hope for everybody's sake that you're the one in the middle.
Great shirt!

edit to add: i'm in the middle...
Great to see you, beatbo.

Me trying to look cool.
And succeeding.

In July 1990, Robert had just arrived for the second leg of the tour when he cracked his tooth on an Indian meatball while dining at Nirvana, one of his all-time favorite places to eat (located in New York City).
In July 2005, Robert was on tour in San Francisco, dining at the Kokkari Restaurant (at 200 Jackson Street). He popped one of his dental crowns while eating and was referred to co-owner Kenny Frangadakis who had a dentist office in Cupertino. Kenny referred Robert to dentist Dr. Michael Fox's office (at 500 Spruce Street - Room 208) as it was much closer than his. Robert chatted with a fan while waiting to have his dental work done.
Too much information? Probably.
Well, given that I've spent the past five minutes wondering how you crack your tooth on a meatball (an area my imagination should have stayed out of), maybe so.

There's not much more I can add to the defense of ALS than what's already been posted, but I will just say that to call it a "song" does it a complete disservice. It is an epic in every sense of the word! Grand, majestic, experimental, unpredictable, with master performances from all 4. And Jimmy's guitar work and arrangement, pure genius. It's not to everyone's taste, that's fine, but it looks like there are far more "yays" than "nays" here.
Yay.
-
There are better songs than both The Rain Song or ALS...Stairway is still epic[not the greatest, but epic], ALS kinda does get predictive after the first solo, and Kashmir is a statement that made Physical Graffiti, and where did this "ode to forever" bullshit come from?
Probably the same place as predictive?
Four posts so far, and you've been pretty rude in two of them. Just thought I'd mention it.
-
I must say Liars Dance is in my top three Plant solo songs. (Despite the--also typically Plant-esque--lack of apostrophe.
) -
The last one isn't Jimmy, though it's often mistaken for him--it's Phil Johnstone.
-
Hadn't seen that last one before--kewl!
-
Well, in c4plant's pics he's pouting again, so you can knock off the
(check his lips in their normal position--Jesus, I make a simple observation and you'd think I'd insulted his manhood!)and in that one ^^ I don't think Robert looks any more cool wearing Nazi (or Luftwaffe) regalia than Jimmy does.
-
Sounds like a blueprint for the Zeppelin era from '69 thru '77.
No it doesn't.
-
They really had it going during the Mick Taylor era. After 72, I didn't see the band again in the 70's. I really liked Black And Blue as well as Some Girls but the band lost something big when Taylor left. I'm probably not being fair to Ron Wood but I think he was the wrong choice and a clear indication, to me at least, that the band was going into cruise control.
I saw them with all three guitarists, but musically the Taylor era was definitely the highlight. The shows I saw with Wood had become more focused on spectacle and not as much on music--still had a great time, mind you, but they'd lost something of their edge for me.
-
I wasn't complaining about them, MSG--just pointing out a fact! When not pouting, his lips aren't the largest part of him, let's say.
Not a criticism, just an observation--after all, who started this thread you're all enjoying?!
-
Some things know no age . . . .

But in another life and time, he WILL read your post, and then . . .

Mr Thin-Lips there would have been in his forties when that was taken, yes. It's a gorgeous pic, isn't it?
-
He's pouting in that one, though, EL.
Really, I don't mean he doesn't have any lips AT ALL--but they're very thin. As lips go.
Nothing wrong with that!
-
Have you ever noticed that he's hardly got any lips?
Just thought I'd mention it!
-
Ditto that, caroselambra. Would that we could sort out all misunderstandings so harmoniously.
-
You could have explained that misunderstanding without being so condescending, you know. Again, sarcasm isn't always obvious if you don't know the poster well.

Interesting. In Buell's autobiography she actually says it wasn't Jimmy that called her a "coke whore", but intimated it was Plant and Grant. It's on page 82 of Rebel Heart.
"I was very attracted to Jimmy Page. He was my type — very dashing, very English, very Renaissance. He had that otherwordly, other- time vibe. If you fantasized about being a
princess and having a prince come and sweep you off your feet and take you on horseback to his castle, Jimmy Page was Sir Lancelot. What girl woudn't enjoy that fantasy, even if it was only for a week? We went out to dinner at expensive restaurants every night. We went shopping. Jimmy liked to go to metaphysical/astrology bookshops. We spent a lot of time in bed. We stayed up all night, hanging out, doing drugs, talking with Robert, Peter, Richard, and their entourages. Sometimes, I would do a little cocaine; other times, I would say no. I think Jimmy found that refreshing. I overheard him telling Robert and Peter, "She's not a coke whore."
The last couple of lines don't suggest that Plant and Grant called her a "coke whore," simply that Jimmy told them that she wasn't one.

I don't think it is curious. I guess both Jimmy and Ronnie felt nothing about Krrisy issue.
Krissy was just a groupie or something after all.
In fact she was rolled by a lot of men. Slut like her was a toy for men in this era.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I'm surprised to see this kind of double standard coming from a woman. It's not like all the men in question were virgins, after all.
Anyway, the image is reversed and they were all using their right hands, I remember that much! (The mirror part explained why the sign was the right way around.)

Not that I was a big fan, so I'll leave comment on his music to others, but I always felt he'd have gone further if the band hadn't had such a boring name. Seriously.
