Scroll down----need I say any more?!!

The second post of today.........it is Monday, and I am tired of running here, and going all over Houston {it seems}. I loaded the videos --- all 7 of them! I will recover fully by Thursday from last Wednesday thru Sunday!!!! Also, I found a new friend. she read this blog is a big Led Zep/Plant fan. As she told me she was mesmerised with his voice and a spell was cast--then she saw him--and the whole package was complete! {now, this was back in the seventies---music was different and I was a child}.
I feel I got cheated--I did not know the "Rock God"--only knew of his solo work in 1988. Then, in 1990, saw yet another vid----I was 17 and this man was 41---what a difference!!! so, maybe I DID see the Rock God!
This {see left} is how rememeber him when I first saw him in '88. I wish I had a still of the vid--Heaven Knows... or Hurting Kind.... he was absolutely so gorgous in that one. {although, I had to watch it a couple of times to remember it...and did I ? No. but it doesn't matter}! In the vid--Porl Thompson of the Cure--is playing guitar and is wearing lipstick! I was kind of distracted by the lipstick wearing. Maybe he thought he was still playing for Robert Smith and not realise it was Plant!
This is what I missed! {below}
See what I mean? A total difference!!!! this one is captioned from Stairway to Heaven.
So, I finally watched all of the videos on Nine Lives and watched part of the documentry. His accent................ is just heavenly. A mix of Welsh and English and so refined. Those charming englishmen!! Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd.......i love his hair.....true to his sign--Leo. Read any book and any Leo's feature--a wild amne of hair. yes, a Leo, indeed.
Well, enough of Mr. Plant. I am sort of excited about the full moon--April 9th---I read about money for myself! Hmmmm??? I much rather have Robert Plant {maybe he would let me purchase him??!!}

Zep/Plant Fans!

For all of you fans out there in online land!!!
The first blog of today-----for all of those Zep/Plant fans........ visit Youtube! As you have probably figured out by now, I am a choreographer--and and using some of Led Zep's and Plant's music.
ENJOY....................................!

The end to a HORIIBLE month!!!

So, I did not OD from all of the drugs {Midol, Tylenol, and aspirin} I was taking from last Sunday to just two days ago. One more day to go to the end of a horrible month!! Good lord!? I was responding to an email that my “other” sent to me re: the loser who is Pakistanian and were discussing how disrespectful to women.
Listening to Gallow’s Pole---love love this song.
I have to go to the store to get groceries and dish liquid, dishwasher soap as well. I am sure I will be posting something tomorrow. Can’t wait for the 1st--my Nine Lives box set!!! HOORAY!!!!!!


Goodbye to a shitty month!

When I first discovered....


.....Mr. Plant's music.
I have been editing my old site that was devoted to SM. I just might have everything added now. The link is on the left--Robert Plant/Led Zep fans....as well a pic from 1988...when I first begun listening to his music. The photo is currently my screensaver!!

....Darkness darkness be my pillow.... take my hand and let me sleep....
A beautiful song--but those are not his lyrics, rather a song he covered.

I first listened to him when I was 15 years old--a LONG time ago. I was flipping back between MTV/VH-1 and I saw this vid for Tall Cool One--and just blown away. I didn't understand why he had such an effect on me as he is 25 years older than I.
In 1991, I saw yet another vid for Hurting Kind {I Got My Eyes on You}--an edgier, harder side of him. I loved the song as well--always wanted to choreograph it but never could. Now, I sadly don't have the song. I kind of lost sight of his music as he is not mainstream anymore. I was listening to more current/mainstream bands.
In 2003, I started building my cd collection and found a collarboration with Jimmy Page and him--Unledded and discovered again his voice--13 years later. I found myself loving old Zep songs such as Gallow's Pole and Four Sticks. Also, in '93, I bought his newest cd, Dreamland and begun working on Darkness, Darkness--a hypnotising beautiful piece of music combined with his voice {that vice}.

Currently, I am working on all My Love--a song that wrote about his son, Karac, who died at 7 years old. I should also mention that I picked this song to work on before I knew what it was about---an ironic uncanny sense, maybe!! The lyrics are below to the song:

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light To chase a feather in the wind Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight There moves a thread that has no end. For many hours and days that pass ever soon The tides have caused the flame to dim At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom Is this to end or just begin?
* Chorus: All of my love, all of my love, All of my love to you,now. (repeat)
The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again One voice is clear above the din Proud Arianne, one word, my will to sustain For me, the cloth once more to spin
Chorus
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time His is the force that lies within Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find He is a feather in the wind

Although, it has a happy verve to it--it is sad if you know what it is about. So, I have to get Nine Lives boxset because the songs that I have/like are the ones that skip!!!! Figures. Well, that was my story of my discovering Robert Plant!!!
