Moonmaid Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/10/zeppelin-fro...ecurity-threat/ That was adorable. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake of Shadows Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Poor guy. Maybe Robert will send him an autograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzepfan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't know what I'd do. Ask for a break?? Very cool to see Robert in a "normal" situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richestkind Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 When the video guy asked Robert if he liked any of "the covers of Led Zeppelin" bands were doing, Robert shrugged. If he'd taken time to answer he'd have probably said Dread Zeppelin as he's a fan. To bad Robert had to hit the excalator so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah he does, but bless him for having even heard of it. The man is a true fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Man, I'd have gotten the autograph. I'd take getting written up to meet Robert Plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Man, I'd have gotten the autograph. I'd take getting written up to meet Robert Plant. So in this situation, do you think the risk would be worth the reward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/10/zeppelin-fro...ecurity-threat/ Nice find, solar. When the video guy asked Robert if he liked any of "the covers of Led Zeppelin" bands were doing, Robert shrugged. If he'd taken time to answer he'd have probably said Dread Zeppelin as he's a fan. To bad Robert had to hit the excalator so quickly. Right after that, while he's on the escalator, he looks to the side and you can see him grinning, like something amused him. Hmm, maybe he was thinking about Dread Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 That was pretty funny. Nice to see he's a REAL fan. Celebs are a dime a dozen at LAX, so he's probably used to seeing all sorts of famous people. I wish he had gotten his autograph, but hey - he's gotten closer than a lot of people have. So I don't feel so bad for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Is it me or does he pronounce Coda like Cuda? I think it would have sold better had they used Cuda! Anyhow the guy's a true fan and he saw them 3 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy5151 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Nice post. I think I would have found some way to get an autograph or even to say hi and shake his hand. Such an opportunity may never come again. I would have risked getting fired... but that's just me. A guy from city won 2 tickets to the O2 show at our local radio show. He worked on the oil rigs at sea. When the concert was postponed, his employer would not rearranged his holidays, so he quit. This was news all over town, and my boss looked at me, and knew I already had tickets and rearranged flights/hotels, so he asked me if I would do the same if I were in his shoes. Without hesitation I said "Yes, this may a once in a lifetime opportunity". I was serious. Mt boss wasn't too pleased with the answer, neither was my wife when I told her.

ninelives Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I think it's kind of cool he didn't approach Robert. Let him have his privacy but it was great to see he's such a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 So in this situation, do you think the risk would be worth the reward? Yeah. I'd just ask for an autograph and thank him for the wonderful music, from Zep to present day and then be on my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerzubs Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yeah, autographs are great, but these days keeping your job's better! I bet that autograph is worth a lot more than minimum wage, just sell it to a name-sake and you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I bet that autograph is worth a lot more than minimum wage, just sell it to a name-sake and you're good. I don't think you can support a family indefinitely by selling one autograph, even if it's Robert Plant's! (And anyway, if he'd sold it, what would have been the point of losing his job to get it? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And anyway, if he'd sold it, what would have been the point of losing his job to get it? ) Minimum wage/support family? That won't float. Poverty level in US for a family of four is about $22,000. Full time at a minimum wage jobe will bring in $6.55/hr., after taxes you'll be lucky to clear $1,000/month. Unless you got the full allotment of food stamps and all other assistance's available, you're going to have starving children. The autograph would be worth it.
