Same could be said for Robert Plant who absolutely put his foot down against a Led Zeppelin reunion tour after their stellar '07 London performance, much to the dismay of the other members who wanted to keep the momentum going.
After all, Plant was busy. He had records to make with Allison Krauss.
“He had records to make with Allison Krauss.”
Sorry for being a Pollyanna on this thread, but the Robert Plant/Allison Krauss album is great too! “this is us” one of the best songs ever.
Ok, being way too upbeat, time for b.e.d.
Yes I agree
Plant should do zep for the fans
The egos and feelings of the creative
They are just different
You know, I was half way through listening to The Talking Heads song "Once in a Lifetime", from the 1980 album Remain in Light, again and realized that I was probably one of the very few individuals who have seen water flowing underground.When I was about twelve years old I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, "The Rocket City!" I went on a Boy Scout camping trip with Troop 378 or 379 (I can't remember which) spelunking down into one of the vast limestone caves that cover Northern Alabama. After a long hike down and going deeper down with ropes a couple of times, we stopped by a fast moving river with the water as clear as glass. We unrolled our sleeping bags and slept the whole night a few feet from the water in pitch darkness. "Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground"
Note: Regarding the the Scout Troop, it had grown so big that they had to cut it in half and a successive number was assigned. I cannot remember if the cave spelunking trip was before or after the split.
I don't follow music politics but I have liked some of his songs even though I'm a crusty old guy. I can listen to some of Shaggy's songs too.
I think Plant’s solo career has been pretty good fwiw.
Except Talking Heads was never really “his band”. They were their own band that Brian Eno decided he liked their potential but they lacked a little something. That “little something” turned out to be a guy who had done a bit of work with Eno’s friend Robert Fripp, head guy of King Crimson. So they superglued Byrne onto the Tom Tom Club and created Talking Heads. Eventually all sides kind of got tired of each other and split. Byrne’s solo stuff continues to be highly experimental. It lacks the accidental commercial appeal of Talking Heads, but it’s really interesting. Tom Tom Club occasionally goes out and does reunion-esque tours.
