Robert Plant Robert Plant Robert Plant Robert Plant!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
Forget Nicole Kidman.. Donna Summer?? Yeah.\u00a0 Whateve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last night a legend walked into the door of my cafe.. He was stunning.\u00a0 Even at, what is he?, 65 he had a magnetism about him that reminded me of feelings I haven’t felt since I was a sixteen years old, all alone in my room listening to Cashmere and fantasizing about.. what? wait.. nevermind.. There’s a fair chance my husband will read this.\u00a0 Let’s just say he was heartstopping (but, honey, he still has nothing on you).\u00a0 I have been reeling from it all day..<\/p>\n
Once I settled down and got “Stairway to Heaven” out of my head, though, I started to think about his disasterous solo career in the 80’s.\u00a0 Yikes, I thought.\u00a0 It was enough to mellow my starstruck mood, but not for long.\u00a0 I am impressed with us, as a culture.\u00a0 We forgive people their “experimental” phase and see them through, allowing them to reclaim and relive, even, their rock and roll legend status.\u00a0 We don’t, as a culture, hand it out that easily.\u00a0 It takes us a lot to push someone up to that standard.\u00a0 Sure, we play a lot of crap on the radio but, all in all, we are pretty determined and expectant about what we deem “legendary” and worthy of more than two to three minutes of our time.\u00a0 I am glad we saw Robert Plant through his “Sea of Love” phase and let him reclaim a place in our hearts for all the good that he did before he wore Hawaiian shirts and civil war hats.\u00a0 That part of our history with him is very minute.\u00a0 He is much bigger than all that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And, if you’re wondering how much interaction I had with him –\u00a0let me just say there was a point in the evening where he and I were carrying out a birthday cake (together!)\u00a0to his friend and he looked at me and said “you ready to sing with me?”.\u00a0 I ain’t lyin.\u00a0 My heart stopped and before I knew it freakin’ Led Zepplin himself was singing “Happy Birthday” two inches away from my face.\u00a0 I thought I had died and gone to rock&roll heaven.\u00a0 In fact, I am pretty sure I haven’t yet come back to earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
