Went to see Robert Plant in Norfolk Virginia several years ago. Wonderful show. Had a great time at the show. When we got back to the hotel we hung out at the bar for a while. Met several members of his band. Plant didn’t show, but we did enjoy a nice conversation with the band members. The next morning we went down for breakfast and the hostess sat us next to the band members AND Robert Plant. had a great conversation with him. We didn’t come across as start struck knuckleheads (we all are huge Zeppelin fans since we were kids in the 70s. So meeting Plant was a dream come true. But we respected his space. We were chatting amongst ourselves when suddenly my chair began shaking like hell. I turn around and it was Plant, wishing is us a safe trip back to NY.
On a side note, while at the bar the after the show I met this amazingly attractive young woman. A self-ascribed Plant Groupie. She was there for one purpose, to bang Plant. She did get some pics with him and kissed him a bit (there is pictorial evidence). That's when we first knew plant was at our hotel. I am still in touch with her today. She is an art teacher in a Chesapeake VA area school district.
On another side note, I met his security chief at the hotel too. Big scary British guy. But very pleasant. When we got home, I posted some pics on social media and a British friend who lives in LA sent me a couple pics back with him and the security chief in the pics. Come to find out my friend and he grew up together in Liverpool, England.
Small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it.
