An Open Letter to Jimmy Page & John Paul JonesBy
Meghan Harvey
Dear Sirs: It has come to my attention that there has been talk of a Led Zeppelin reunion of sorts. Though I was at first overjoyed by these rumors, I was quickly thrown into a state of mild panic and confusion when I further read that this “reunion” would not include Robert Plant. Let’s pause a moment at the absurdity of it. Now I know the internet can be full of rumors, and sick twisted little lies. But this is just plain cruel. And I do hope that it is just that, rumors and lies. If they’re not, then I’m not sure how to explain to you both how wrong touring without Robert Plant would be. In case you were unaware, here in the states we are in the midst of a highly charged and very important election. We are at war and our economy is in shambles. This is not exactly a good time for us to have to deal with something as detrimental to our general sense of well-being as a “Plantless” (if I may be so bold) Zeppelin reunion.
I feel that there is a good start here in that the two of you as well as young Mr. Bonham have been working and playing together. I feel that a sit down discussion with Mr. Plant could easily turn into something positive. In spite of his heavy denials that a reunion will ever happen, we all know he doesn’t really mean it. If there is any hesitation at taking a complete reunion seriously, please feel free to use this letter as a jumping off point. A place where a conversation can begin. Change is happening everywhere. We could very well have our first black president come January. We are truly at the dawn of a new era. I believe that change is possible. Dreams can come true, and Zeppelin can once again come together. I don’t know, maybe I’m just a girl with a dream. But maybe, just maybe… Sincerely, Meghan Harvey

What she said…I saw Led Zeppelin in about 1970 I am forever blessed…. Dougyver said:
I must ask the following questions of the universe: Is it *really* Led Zeppelin without Bonzo? And if the band needs to transpose the songs an entire step down for Plant to be able to struggle through them, maybe Robert has the right idea to LEAVE IT ALONE and let the legacy retain it’s purity and integrity. Floyd had the right idea with LIVE 8. The one show that Page/Plant/Jones did @ 02 for charity was cool. Now LEAVE IT BE. alex revenco said:
If Robert don’t want to be a LEDZEP anymore is his choice. alex revenco said:
