Me and Robert Plant are mates now!

Well actually no, but I went to his gig in Wolves this week along with a few thousand other people and it was very good. Great hair.

RocknRollDave

I went to a gig with him once!

Well...I went to a gig once and he went to it too. (Supergrass, Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall)

I've been to the football with him a few times too, although again you could argue that he just happened to be there.

I used his toilet once. Well, it was just a public toilet, but he had equal access to it.

I once sat in the same Tube carriage as someone who looked a little bit like him for as many as three stops. I win.

He once upset a mate of mine in a car park in Kidderminster.

...and he shopped at a garden centre where I had a Saturday job...so did Tony Iommi.

I've met his hairdressers Cat.

But seriously folks it was a top gig. Lots of Zepp tunes and not too many odd world muzak folky moments. Standout tracks for yours truely were:

what is and what should never be

babe om gonna leave you

going to California

Really good. Two guitarist, one who forget the name of who was really aggressive and full on, the other Skin Tyson from Cast, really spaced out and trippy. Lots of cool reverse delays and stuff. The basser, and keys/samples/loop guys were players in/for Massive Attack.

Really big and atmospheric sound.

I went to one of his gigs, my mate Andy played Rock'n'Roll behind him at a wedding gig, I used to work with his next door neighbour, I have almost undoubtably sat in the same football stadium as him, he went to school in the town where I live ( although my kids haven't gone to that school) and I once went ten pin bowling with him. Well, no I didn't, I went ten pin bowling and Robert and his mates were in the next lane.He wasn't very good BTW ( although neither am I). Mention of last night's gig on Planet Rock this morning, just saying was awesome. Given my clear, close links to Bobby no doubt he was wondering where I was.

When I lived in Coventry, Tony Iommi was once in the same paper shop as me.

My old boss's Mum was Jimmy Page's housekeeper in the 70's and 80's, so I've practically played with Led Zep as far as I'm concerned

I once stood next to roger moore in the motorway services toilets and he looked at my wigwag and raised an eyebrow.

Emp_Fab

Well, I am Roger Daltrey.  I've never let on before as I wanted a break from all the adulation.

Seeeeeee Meeeeeeee

Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel Meeeeee

See.  Proof.

I was once on his guest list.

My mate Nigel Banks who's 'teched' for many name bands, recently posted a picture of him on Facebook with Page & Plant backstage somewhere, from some years ago. By the very narrowest of margins, Nigel had the best hair....

Not recently though I imagine.

I met him in Birmingham city center once, but that isn't an especially amusing story so I shall mention that Pete Waterman once accused me of smelling of curry.

viz

Was he correct?
