Some people came up to me today and swore I was Robert Plant

[Styles Bitchly]

So I'm down on La Brea Ave. just off of Melrose the other day, scouting out some new threads when I bump into this group of cornhusker tourists snapping iPhone photos of everything including the posh dumpsters. It was really rich, and I was actually playing along with it for a few moments. I've had this happen numerous times in the past. I asked them which Plant - HOH era or that recent nutball Alison Krauss thingy, and they looked at me with the expression of a snow cone. I had my Ray-Bans on and I could see a couple of them wincing as if to see what was behind the shades. They asked if I wanted to join them for a cheeseburger but I told them I had lemons to squeeze and went off about my way.

So uh...which one of you is the one who looks like Telly Savalas?

I get that Welsh dope dealer bloke that calls himself Mr.Nice.

One time, when he getting a lot of publicity, a bunch of kids accosted me whilst crossing the Rd. outside Shepherds Bush tube station on me way home and insisted I was Howard Marks.

I told them how pissed off I was at this developement. Since I was older than him but better looking. Also I wasn't a sheepshagger.

Unfortunately this only seemed to make things worse. They insisted I autograph their copy of the Mr. Nice book for them.

So I did.

Did you happen to sign it with "Die, you gravy sucking pig!". That's my customary John Hancock. Leaves 'em with a real smile.

i used to have long hair back in the day

I was in a night club once and some bloke asked me if I was Gary Stringer from the band Reef.

I said I wasn't but he didn't believe me

in the end I said I was so he introduced me to all his friends and a great time was had by all!!

Styles... Robert Plant is... kinda haggard looking and far from young... i'm trying to imagine the girls at the drive through swooning over Robert Plant. it's not working.

You sure they didn't mean Robert 'The Plant' ?

When Manumission was still big many people thought I was Mike, one of the organisers.
Weirder - people who actually worked for Mike thought I was him. Poor guy, he's way better looking than me, taller too. They must have thought he was ill. And standing in a hole.

Haggered? Ahhhh...what a sacrileage! Certainly you meant to say his face looks like a raisin.

I'm guessing those tourists have that "Whole Lotta Love" edition of Plant ingrained in their noggins as the operative reference.

Maybe you ARE Mike, suffering from acute amnesia. Or - maybe you were sucked through a black hole vortex and now you're walking around in a parallel universe you have no business being in until the officials catch up with you - better run, dewd.

like every other rocker kid in the 80's I grew up IDOLIZING zeppelin. I lost interest in the 90's as my taste expanded into grunge and electronica, other genres etc....
About 9 months ago while going through my mp3 collection I decided to put a bunch of zeppelin on a file with my "oldies",,,,
I must have listened to to much back in the day because I still fast forward all the zeppelin songs (great songs I know) and go on to Mazzy Star. My bad of course

You sad sad little man. You have become but a shell of your former self. How could one possibly fast forward through "Dazed and Confused" or "You Shook Me" to listen to tripe like "Blue Flower"? Pfffft.

Mazzy Star is still not because they were ever better than LZ, that's just daft, but because they're not played out by every [said in deep voice] "Classic Rock" station on the dial - that's how. don't get me wrong... i love me some Zeppelin too, but Black Dog has made more ASCAP pennies than the total profits of the local economy of France.


don't get me started on fuckin ACDC
