SuperDave Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Totally misled. Take it from a traveler. So, I'm guessing you detected just a slight bit of sarcasm from me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moffo Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) That's a bit strong. I thought exactly the same. It's not a word to be thrown around lightly (In regard to 'the one Bonzo was going to rape). Great thread though!!!

manderlyh Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for the link, Frank! I love the fact that they are singing and dancing to "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside"! Classic. I also can't help thinking that the interviewer didn't realise that Robert was being tongue in cheek when he lamented the fact that there wasn't a pool table on board! That's exactly what I was going to say--I think that a lot of journalists now would know his sense of humor. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsmith9095 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hey everybody- Sorry to have kept y'all hanging. I've been sick (again) this past week and also have been waiting for my new Internet connection to finally be installed at my new place after being w/o a connection for a week. To put your minds at ease, I was not "silenced" by a secret Zeppelin agent by cloak and dagger up some darkened alley. Actually,I have spoken to her again and its quite the reverse. All is good and there have been some interesting developments in the mean time which I can't divulge just yet. The delay also has been due to her waiting for her coworker to visit before us continuing the conversation and her fellow stewardess didn't make the trip as planned. So I'm going to touch bases with her again and see what the new plans to continue will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieShouldHaveListened Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 wow. this is a really cool thread. i love the videos that are posted. i thought i heard that bonzo wasnt too keen on flying in the starship, but seeing him dance with pagey makes me think otherwise. That has to be one of the best genuine moments from offstage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THUNDERZEP Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ok, I am normaly very positive but I have to point out a few things here. This stewardess worked with Zeppelin on their plane over 30 years ago, at which time she was NOT a fan. She said their wasn't a lot of conversation that went on between her and the band but they were very nice. She apologized for not recalling specific details of her adventures because of her substance abuse affecting her memory. She claims she is going to write a book in time. A book about what? A book about a band she can't remember, whom she had no conversation with, and didn't care anything about anyway? Gimme a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she's just toying around with the idea and doesn't have the specifics. I dunno - I'd not dismiss it quite yet. Could turn out to be interesting.

She also met other musicians and famous people while being a stewardess. Perhaps this books she is thinking about writing is a small book regarding the rich and famous, not just Led Zeppelin.

Perhaps this books she is thinking about writing is a small book regarding the rich and famous, not just Led Zeppelin. I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks,Timothy. This is exactly why I was hesitant on posting this story here. Some losers can NOT wait to rain on a parade and shit all over something that could potentially be of interest to us all. As Timothy pointed out,our stewardess friend plans on writing a book about her experiences over 5 years with various bands in conjunction with her coworker who has a better recollection of details and events.

Thanks. There's bound to be a naysayer or two within this many people on here. And everyone else has been really receptive and positive with this thread. I can't promise that anything more will come of this any time soon. If at all. But I have a feeling that there will be more to post that would be of interest to us all soon. She doesn't check her email often ( which is how we arrange to talk on the phone each time). But as soon as I hear from her again,I'll update the thread.

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thank you Frank, for the information and this thread. It is greatly appreciated. I am glad that she is still talking! She definitely has experienced something very unique and should write a book about her experiences. I'm sure that she could get a ghost writer to put her thoughts on the subject into a book. And not just her Led Zeppelin experiences, but also those with the other bands that hired the Starship. I'm anxiously waiting to hear the rest of the story! Keep us posted!

I wish I was able to talk with her every day. But I dont want to make a pest of myself of course. I've been approached by 3 different people offering to ghost write her story. But I'm assuming that finding a writer won't be an issue given that she's been in "the business" in the past. What I am interested in are the stories that her fellow stewardess may be able to recount. And also,she's mentioned that she has some photos in storage that she'll dig out for me. Now those should be interesting. Although I wouldn't be surprised if she keeps those "previously unseen" photos for her book,of course. I'll certainly be glad to post anything she and I discuss as soon as I speak with her again ( And tickles for your Schnauzer) Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
