IN THE HOUR OF NOT QUITE RAIN,by Layla Gregory 7pages
In this frame of the short story Robert is sentenced to death by hanging for commiting the crimes of adultery,bargaining with Lucifer and attempt of murder. Though none of these are really true,he does not say anything for the risk that Jim would harm Luchina.Roger promises Robert to care for Luchina after he has gone.In this part of writing this book and also reading it,I found it rather complex on how I wove it all together and made it make sense ,without making it sound over written.I pulled it off just right,where it has the perfect balance of everything.I still ask myself:Why can't I write about happy things?It is still an unsolved mystery.Why does the sun still rise every morning,why do flowers bloom in spring?
Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin,'Led Zeppelin II',17 pagesLed Zeppelin II was mostly written and recorded on the road,on tour in America.Written on paper in hotels.Key tracks are:'Whole Lotta Love','Heartbreaker,';there are two tracks on this album that have very intresting background.Robert Plant wrote the song,'Thank You',for hs wife at the time Maureen Plant.Then,there is the song,'What is and What Should Never Be',was written for Maureen Plant's little sister whom Robert was also seeing.I think Robert Plant would still be married if he hadn't cheated on his wife with his wife's little sister.It's bad enough to be caught in the act with a groupie,but to write a song about a liasson with his wife's sister on the same album he wrote a song for his wife on.Bad,bad man!
Article Reviewing 'Bring it on Home'15 Classic tracks chosen by Robert Plant 3 pages fro Uncut Magazine

The shining jewel of the whole album had to be "Shine it On" by Veron Garrett.The man is truely made to make and select music and this compilation is exquisit.Also,Ralph Stanley's "Oh Death"and Bukka White singing"Funny feelin' in my Mind Lord,Belive I'm fixin' to Die",from my opinion and uncut magazine's.There is also some obscure music from Morrocco where you can't understand a bloody thing they're saying.In my opinion you get a little of everything,Roy Harper,the deep old dirty blues of the Mississippi,and soul.Great compilation,but it is missing one thing,"Shop Around",by Smokey Robinson and the Miricals."
The Lemon Tree December 1996:US fall and Japan Tour Reviews issue 5 12 pages

Though this has to be one of the most bizare blogs I,ve done yet I have to and from this little English magazine or what you'd call a'fanzine'for Robert Plant,there is an article called'Tablecloths and Granny Knickers'.It's about clothing that the members of Led Zeppelin wore,back then and up until 1996 since this is a back issue on a magazine from over a decade ago.on this paticular tour Robert fancied the nineties hippy look with waistcoats and the occasional tie-dye,while Jimmy favoured more silk shirts in the colours of plum and gold.Mind you this tour was in 1996 for thier 'No Quarter 'tour.Though in the old days Zeppelin's look grew out of the late sixties hippy tat-all velvet,lace and cheesecloth(as early photographs and bits of film show)although they never took it into extremes like Marc Bolan did.Robert Plant love T-Shirts.

I know this blog is absolutely passe',a bit strage,but I don't care.How do you think I learned to dress myself,that the clothing that I wore on Friday to do my little performance was inspired by Robert Plant,that's why I don't dress like everybody else.I love the sixties and seventies and I needed a model on what the look was and I found Robert Plant,well after listening to some great music.But Robert Plant inspires more than just fashion,it's an idea,he lends to you as he sings and what ever you do with that idea is your choice.Oh,by the way the title of this article is refering to an out fit Jimmy Page was wearing in 1970.

Did the darkness smother your light?Sorry 'bout those old days where nothing was right,or was the daylight to bright for your soul?Were you always so consumed in the utter darkness you couldn't breathe in open spaces where a thousand with outreached hand try and touch you.Glory is your pride, self-indulgence,medicine is remedy,poison.Is poison so sweet,you can't taste the bitterness?Poison is death,slow death in a bottle. Is the needle hot enough?It just won't do...slendid is that cold hard liquor,find you slipping from our hands like a puff of summer wind.Where have you gone?No it was just fine,but still a time to short to savor...just a taste is all you have given to the Children of the Sun.Hazy eyed followers dust off the glass to peer through.Good bye sweet prince,we all miss you.
Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin,'Where's the Confounded Bridge?"22pages
This section of the book discusses more so the making of Led Zeppelin's fifth album,'Houses of the Holy'.The reason the album took so long to come out is because of its cover,it never caame out the right colour.But the final finished product is the sureal orange background with blonde naked children,climbing on monolithic rocks that is so iconic.This album has memorable songs like:'The Song Remains the Same','The Ocean','The Crunge',and 'Over the Hills and Far Far Away'.And many other great songs.People say this album made Led Zeppelin soft,but I strongly disagree, I see it as a land mark album. It marks great songs leading to greater songs.The lyrics are absolutely rich,so is this review Iread. It describes everything exactly how i would have described it.Confounded
