Hey Grovers.Thought we'd try this for a week or two and see how we get on. Each week I'll be looking for nominations for QOTW from the stuff posted in the various topics. I'll be the judge for the first couple of weeks until we get up and running,then we'll appoint a different Judge each week from then on. Competition will begin on the Monday of each week and run until the Sunday. The winner will be selected from the various nominations and be the recipient of rapturous applause. Nominations for this week please.................

http://www.spinner.com/tag/RobertPlant/ - Robert Plant , 'Stairway to Heaven' http://www.spinner.com/tag/LedZeppelin/ - Led Zeppelin would possibly be back together if it weren't for "that bloody wedding song," as Robert Plant refers to 'Stairway.' He told the Los Angeles Times in 1988, "I'd break out in hives if I had to sing that song in every show. I wrote those lyrics and found that song to be of some importance and consequence in 1971, but 17 years later, I don't know. It's just not for me." And how about those Satanic back maskings, Mr. Plant? ------------- BrendanFella IRISH DIPLOMACY IS....The ability to tell a man to Go To Hell so that He looks forward to making the trip. |

She http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv-entertainment/music/tm_method=full&objectid=19255375&siteid=115875-name_page.html - told the Mirror that their exchange ended with both expletives and punches thrown, and some spittle for good measure. "All I could do was spit. I spat on him quite a bit," she admitted. Years later, when fans at a 2005 concert shouted "Prince!" during an encore, Sinead http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/prince/articles/story/8900714/sinead_bears_arms - snapped , "F--- that f---ing midget!"

You are a mine of information kiddo Now give us an update on the big O - Roy Orbison ------------- Verona |
Posted By: BrendanFella
Date Posted: 17-August-2009 at 16:14
|
Just for you Verh, Two misconceptions about Orbison's appearance continue to surface: that he was an albino, and that he wore his trademark dark glasses because he was blind or nearly so. Neither is correct, though his poor vision required him to wear thick corrective lenses. From childhood he suffered from a combination of hyperopia, severe astigmatism, anisometropia, and strabismus.Orbison's trademark sunglasses were a fashion statement arising from an incident early in his career. Orbison had left his regular glasses in an airplane. Due to go onstage in a few minutes and unable to see without corrective lenses, his only other pair of glasses were dark prescription sunglasses. "I had to see to get onstage", so he wore the glasses throughout his tour of England with the Beatles in 1963, and he continued the practice for the remainder of his professional career. "I'll just do this and look cool." However, Orbison once said in an interview that he wore his glasses on a plane because the sun was bright and forgot he was wearing them, especially while on stage. Shortly after he finished performing, he looked in the mirror and noticed he had not taken his glasses off, so he laughed about it and continued to wear them for the rest of his career. ------------- BrendanFella IRISH DIPLOMACY IS....The ability to tell a man to Go To Hell so that He looks forward to making the trip. |

I remember reading something in (I think) NME or one of those papers in the mid to late 80s with Robert Plants comments about some earlier Zeppelin songs (especially the lyrics - about fantasy, Mordor, etc.,). It really annoyed me at the time that he would think that and, I think, it still does.  ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |
