Fun aside there...Bonham and Plant nicknamed Jimmy Page "Led Wallet"...
Boo Haighter
...because at initial rehearsals he wanted to split costs (beer money) 4 ways...he and John Paul Jones were already relatively famous, wealthy and successful whereas Bonzo and Plant were poor, blue collar, 19 year olds. Led Wallet  Previous Message They quickly got VERY famous, partly because some of them were already known. But the book talks about how they always had groupies, an entourage, etc, so a welcome moment like your story would have been impossible. Kind of like Michael Jordan wishing he could go somewhere without being mobbed or even recognized. The price of fame, but yeah, can I just live? Today’s Wall St Journal has a lifestyle piece on actress Mila Kunis. She is on her homeowners’ association board in LA, and people who come to do repair work are surprised to see it’s her. But, they are people who care about their homes, too. Previous Message that his manager was livid he just left in a car with some girls and was cruising around the suburbs and going to Pizza Hut. Obviously, this was way before cell phones (oh the good old days where you could just "be"), so they had no idea where he was until we walked into the hotel lounge around 7 pm. Previous Message
Maybe hoping for some John Mellencamp in Small Town.
