Reply to comment by -Raskyl in Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard: ‘I'm too old to write songs about cops stealing my skateboard’ by diabeyonce

Hard to say.

When Robert Plant did the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, it was the most crowded event I ever attended. So crowded it would be one of those situations where if there is a panic, someone will be trampled to death.

The kids just love Led Zeppelin.

Ya, Led Zeppelin is Led Zeppelin though.... and Robert Plant is fucjing Robert Plant!!!

Mic Jagger is just a really old guy in a big hat and a long coat.... we established this.

Plant is 74.

The Band of Joy is worth seeing. I often pay for acts when they tour that I see for free at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.

Plant does a few old Zeppelin songs. Never "Stairway to Heaven" as far as I know.

I know it is sacrilege but Jagger is the better song writer of the two.

But Led Zeppelin would be the better experience, for sure.

And im pretty sure Jimmy Page owns stairway to heaven. As he's the credited producer. But it coukd also just be Robert Plant.

He once gave 10 grand to an oregon radio station, during a fund drive. Because the DJ promised to not play stairway to heaven if people donated.

Plant was driving through Oregon and heard it on the radio. And when asked said it wasn't because he disliked the song. But because he'd heard it before, and liked that the station played non mainstream stuff that he hadn't necessarily heard before.
