      Since every word has increased meanings from 2 to at least 4 or 5, Bobby does not use words using the 'appropriate' definition in relation to the other words in his responses, yes and no, and is a mix.

    He's so smooth, he's been around long enough to know how to not answer a question he doesn't want to and just divert away from it. He didn't say what his favorite Zeppelin song was and that was probably deliberate and the interviewer just let it slide or never noticed.

    I love that he mentioned Grand Funk Railroad. They were a band who was also out there making fantastic music and I love them almost as much as Led Zeppelin. I got my shorts signed by all the members of GFR back in the 90s in St. Louis MO. It was a free concert at Union Station and they were pure perfection on stage! I know Mel's brother in-law and managed to get my CD signed later. I got the shorts signed all by myself though! Haha! One of my prized possesions! Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin have a special place in my heart and soul that can never be replaced. I love that Robert and Jimmy and Jonesy have all gone on to do more and each on their own paths. I really love that Mark Zep is putting all of this out here for us. It means a lot to me!

Somebody came in talking about it. I ran out , got there in minutes to find out they had left. Nice to see it on here. I saw him in 1982 at a small gig in stourport on Severn at the civic hall as a tribute to his band of joy mate Johnny Pasternak who died. I took photos, and never seen any in books or internet.

    I think he's more relaxed about interviews and enjoys them more now than he did at this time. He was worried about finding his way, post Zeppelin, at this time I suppose. That little jab at 'Heart' at 11:44 is ironic given that when Led Zep was being honoured later on, Heart played 'Stairway to Heaven' to them and they were quite moved by it including Robert Plant.

    Latterly he passes himself off as a working class kid from the Black Country that could only escape his predicament by turning to either football or RocknRoll . This is bullshit . He was a middle class scholarship boy that went to the prestigious Edward VII Grammar school and left with an avalanche of high grade ‘ O ‘ levels bound for an apprenticeship as an Accountant. His clarity of thought and speech are not an affectation; it’s the result of a half baked , unfinished education that may have led to Oxbridge or beyond. Today , however , he’s perfected the working class hero Schtik in an age of idiocracy few people know. He sounds like a condemned soul listening to recordings of his own thoughts in a previous life .
