I would imagine that the respect Jones had for his session work in the 60s and Plant's personal tragedies helped them keep the lack of respect that Zeppelin suffered from for most of the 70s in perspective. Page*, for some reason, has always felt like he needed to keep up with the bands who were doing really pale imitations of him, so he ends up working with Paul Rodgers and David Coverdale while Jones works with Diamanda Galas or Plant pursued his solo career caring about pleasing no one but himself -- even during the interlude when he paired back up with Page formally. *who was just as respected a session player as Jones was, of course, besides being a Yardbird.

Along the same line is the Belgian film "Man Bites Dog" where a documentary crew follows the exploits of a serial killer, eventually becoming sympathetic to him. - -tc [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/pkcs7-signature which had a name of smime.p7s] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 08:09:12 -0500 From: "full name" Subject: Re: [oldschoolfegs] humh!

Several artists made an expedition to the Arctic, each for a different reason - Michele's was the fact that she wanted to devise measuring tools to "measure the unmeasurableness of where they are." Her "mute-o-luxometer" gave a light reading to do with the level of the speechlessness that you feel at seeing the northern lights..! Not having digital TV I didn't catch the programme, but those with BBC4 who are interested in the work of Robyn's better half might like to watch out for a repeat.
