- The rock legend ripped up Sir Richard Branson’s contract for 35 dates in front of astonished promoters after the other members of the supergroup all signed up.
Good. Led Zep was finished the moment John Bonham bit the dust. I'm glad at least one group has the integrity to stay broken up.
Plant in 2009, "To visit old ground, the disappointment that could be there once you commit to that and the comparisons to something that was basically fired by youth and a different kind of exuberance to now, it's very hard to go back and meet that head on and do it justice."
I'm with BrainBurner on this. It is completely understandable if you have heard Robert Plant's CD from 2010. It's called Band of Joy. Here's the most not-Led-Zepp cut: with a washboard yet. Meanwhile, Branson's one of the ok billionaires: Tycoon Sir Richard Branson is to give half his fortune away to charity. He has joined a group of billionaires who have pledged to donate half their amassed wealth to try to make the world a better place.
I like that survey, "Would you turn down half a billion". Here's the thing about that: If you ask me or some random internet commenter about it, of course we're gonna take the money. However, if you already have a mountain of money that you can live off the interest from for the rest of your life, then money no longer has any importance.
