On a side note, I once approached Robert Plant at a Detroit airport with the line "Excuse me, aren't you the singer from The Honeydrippers?" He got such a kick out of it I got two autographs.

True story.

good work, my friend.

good work, my friend.

He's a genuinely nice guy that actually loves his fans too. He'll get off a cell phone to talk to people that come up. Just don't be one of those "ZOMG!!!! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN MIND IF I PULL YOUR HAIR AND JUMP ON YOU???!!!" people.

I also met Jimmy Page in a bar across the street from the Silverdome in Detroit (coincidentally) back in 1987 during his Outrider tour. He's not nearly as personable (though I hear he has been lately). Jimmy is a very suspicious person that hates being taken advantage of, so if he gets the slightest notion you want an autograph for eBay, he won't sign anything. He also will not sign anything but paper- no guitars/guitar pieces, albums, memorabilia, etc. Truthfully I just wanted to shake his hand and say "awesome show." I told him how he inspired me, he asked how long I had been playing guitar, and then made a joke about "he could have used a backup tonight" because his wrist was swollen. Made my decade

Other than that, Rush, Brett Michaels, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Squier are my other musical conquests, of which Rush and Billy are the only ones I talk about

That's awesome. The only awareness I have of Plant in The Honeydrippers was when they did an episode of SNL. I was like...what is this..wha?

Funny thing, is after more than 10 years, however long ago that was, The Honeydrippers tends to come to my mind first when I think of Robert Plant. odd, I know...
