Even Bill Clinton couldn't get Zeppelin back together

I wonder if the conversation included "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM????"

NEW YORK — It’s a diplomatic failure at the highest level: Bill Clinton couldn’t get Led Zeppelin to reunite.

The CBS “60 Minutes Overtime” webcast reported Monday that the former president was enlisted to ask the British rock gods to get back together last year for the Superstorm Sandy benefit concert in New York City. He asked, they said no.

David Saltzman of the Robin Hood Foundation says he and film executive Harvey Weinstein flew to Washington to ask Clinton to make the plea. Led Zeppelin’s surviving members Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were in Washington just before the Sandy concert for the Kennedy Center Honors.

Led Zeppelin last played publicly at a one-night reunion in London in 2007.

I'm not surprised.

Even if they did, it would be another London show. I can't imagine they would do it in the US over their home country.

Percy's done with LZ, and as much as that sucks, it is what it is. The 2007 show was amazing, bombastic, and just flat out kicked ass.

He actually said on 60 Minutes he's "not doing anything in 2014" and he's waiting to hear from the other members. Hopes are renewed from that.

Holy shit, did not know that (obviously). That does change it a bit. He was really adamant about it being, done, over, etc. And looked very annoyed when the topic was brought up.

Here's the 60 Minutes interview (which is excellent BTW). Check out the 14:00 mark.
