The Robert Plant post that's been on my mind since the jimmy post.

EDIT: tumblr fucked up and deleted half the post AND put it without tags. Now complete

It's easier to write about psychology I relate to. To dive into something so clear, so easy to point out the faults of. Writing Jimmy's story was easy. What I'm writing now is less than.

This is how Led Zeppelin impacted Robert Plant. As usual, feel free to add, and the rest is under the cut. This is gonna be sad (and long)

Anyone can spot how, now, Robert reflects on his Zeppelin days with disdain. He doesn't perform nor relate to the majority of his Zeppelin songs anymore. Of course, just as the rest of the band, he's sick of the press asking for another tour. Another reunion. Another reminder of a dark spot in who we see as the golden god.

What happened?

What *didn't* happen?? At first, Zeppelin started out and grazed the sun. And the sun had been spun for years, so to speak. Popularity, sex, riches, women, freedom, *music*. Who wouldn't want that? Of course, there had been the lyrics written by a guy in his early 20s, the many meanings eluding and warping to the ears of the listener. There was criticism over the different lifestyles, tear gassing, police raids, there was Jimmy and Lori. Even recounted by Jimmy Page (Through the On This Day feature), they'd perform in Memphis, only to be stopped by a man with a gun when they'd wanted to perform an encore.

Still, each life had its faults. Robert would write Sick Again's lyrics with the groupees in mind, with the underlying sadness for what Lori had gone through.

Come 1975, and the wax starts to melt. Jimmy starts on heroin at some point during their tours that year. After Plant's family flies out, he and Robert vacation in Morocco. After, in Greece, Robert is driving with his family, and they get into an accident: Almost fatal on Maureen, a broken ankle + elbow on Robert, and bruises on the kids. Back in England, they'd receive care... Only for Plant to have to leave England due to his tax exile. He'd spend the time in a wheelchair, writing and developing Presence. Achilles Last Stand, about his time in Morocco with Jimmy, previously called The Wheelchair Song. Tea For One, about the loneliness and despair on tour, of being away from his family. For Your Life is about a friend of Robert's who had been heavy in drugs. Quote from faroutmagazine, it's reflected that Presence was "a cry from the depths"/"a cry of survival"

Presence is often shat on for what's perceived as a lackluster, boring, rehashed album. While I see where these statements come from, Presence happens to be my favorite album.

In 76, Presence is released, and in the same year, Zeppelin's concert film The Song Remains The Same, to make up for the canceled tours in pursuit of Plant's recovery.

1977 comes around. American tour. Everyone's unsure if the band will perform the same after such a hiatus, but it works out. Mostly. Page, as in my other post, is emotionally unavailable, to say the least, in his own struggles. The band in total is still imbibing in heavy drug usage (JPJ, however, more discreet with his use and not to be found in embarrassing situations), but the tour breaks records, a heavy hitting comeback.

Icarus falls, the zeppelin crashes.

Come summer, the third leg just there, and Robert gets the call: Karac Plant, his son, passed while he was away. The cause had been an unknown stomach illness, and he couldn't have even been there for his son. Gut wrenching. Karac was 5.

Tour canceled, and the last time Zeppelin played North America, Plant flies back home with Bonham and Richard Cole at his side. Jimmy and Peter Grant remain in America, while Jones takes time for vacation. During his time of immense grief, Plant heavily considered quitting music all together to be a teacher, as he just wanted to be with his family. While everyone else was off flitting about, Robert says John Bonham was the only one really at his side for the entire process. Out of the members of Zeppelin, Bonzo was the only one attending Karac's funeral at Plant's side. The darkest, most heartbreaking moment of your life, and your friends aren't around (Of course Bonham was, of course he was around. They were best friends). Jones had said, later, with what Elvis dying, all he knew was that he (Robert) should have his space. Lacking etiquette and not knowing consolation shouldn't mean you (in context, Jones and Page) lack the ability to be there for your friend, though.

Robert never fully got over Karac's death. I wouldn't blame him. He wrote multiple songs over the years honoring his son (All My Love, Blue Train, I Believe).

In addition, he would have a talk with himself, in which he would quit drugs. Quote below.

After everything of 1977, the future of Led Zeppelin became uncertain. Just about silence for a long time, while Plant went through the grief process.  About 1977, he says: “[it was] the year it all stopped for me. Nothing could make it all right again and nothing ever will.” 

"During the absolute darkest times of my life when I lost my boy and my family was in disarray, it was Bonzo who came to me."

Finally, Page and Bonham convince Plant to stay in music, to stay with Zeppelin, when Jimmy told him to take a break until he's ready, and that the band is nothing without Robert.

Zeppelin returns in 1979, though the light has dimmed. Jimmy and Bonham lose themselves further. If you take a look, In Through The Out Door is largely about Robert's feelings once more. When recording and writing, it's often said that the band had split in two: Sober (Plant and JPJ) and not sober (Page, Bonham) . While Plant and Jones wrote and composed, the other two would fail to show up on time, sometimes even at all. As previously mentioned, All My Love and I'm Gonna Crawl are tributes to Karac. In The Evening is about the struggles and stress faced even through his stardom and wealth.

Carouselambra tells the story of Zeppelin's fall. From kings, gods, to rust. In particular, it details the loneliness and betrayal felt by Plant after his band mates failed to be there for him.

"Where was your word, where did you go?

Where was your helping, where was your bow?

Dull is the armour, cold is the day

Hard was the journey, dark was the way, way

I heard the word, I couldn't stay, oh

I couldn't stand it another day, another day"

In particular, "Where was your word, where did you go?" struck with me.

The rest of the album is filled with lighter, story centered, and explorational songs. Plant knew that while Zeppelin was there, it was nearing its end. Come Knebworth, a great show, but Robert is different, you see it in his eyes. The naivety, the innocence, the belief that he could have it all, has faded.

And nobody else is the same at knebworth, either.

Fast forward a year and John Bonham dies, god rest his soul. Led Zeppelin breaks up. Robert loses his best friend and son in the span of 3 years.

Icarus burns. The zeppelin crashes.

Robert distances himself from the rock scene, exchanging most of his heavy vocals to explore different genres of music. He shies away from Zeppelin, but the public is calling for more. An encore. A reunion. Each one goes wrong, between being too stoned and ill timed, the improper rehearsals, the matter not being taken seriously.

Page and Plant starts and Robert finds himself back in his old shoes, polished and new. He enjoyed it this time around, digging up unreleased material and playing it "Unledded."

The masses want more. The golden god, playing the same old tune and having to visit the same old wounds of life. They want the sun to shine like it had been touched again, but the sun shined differently back then. The public dooms him to the same old song he's been fighting to escape, but the song doesn't remain the same, the song has changed.

He's still beautiful. Still Robert Plant. But he's not the same as he was, he's not the bright, young boy performing Stairway to the crowd for the first time, or 50 playing as Page and Plant. He's past that.

December 10th, 2007, O2 Arena, London. He says good evening. One last show. Jason Bonham on drums and backing vocals. John Paul Jones, keyboard and bass guitar. Jimmy Page, electric guitar. And himself, Robert Plant. A legendary show, honored to Ahmet Ertegun.

After, Jones and Jimmy want to continue with a reunion. Robert doesn't, won't. He has a solo career. He's fought to free himself from the golden boy he was. This isn't him anymore. These aren't his songs.

He grows disconnected from his songs of Zeppelin, a lifetime ago. He grows to hate stairway, until it's 2012 at the Kennedy Honors Center. Heart performs Stairway to Heaven with a choir and Jason Bonham. Robert tears up, seeing his best friends son out there. In that moment, he grows to appreciate Stairway: Only if it's sung by a younger voice, though.

The media wants more. The people want more. They will always want more, it's never enough, but he can't sing a song that's lost its meaning to him.

Robert Plant is a man of many times. The golden god we know of now is eternally different from who he was. I will always love him through all walks of life, each and every stage.

Nica and Monk

(English / Español)

Her father called her Pannonica, which was the name of a butterfly. Her name defines her.

She was born a Rothschild and died a jazz baroness. At the time she was presented at court and her marriage to Baron Jules de Koenigswarter, a handsome French diplomat, was a matter left to her ambitious mother. She was used to that.

In 1948, however, something happened. On his way to the airport after a visit to New York, Nica stopped to visit a friend, jazz pianist Teddy Wilson, who played him a recording of Round Midnight by a then unknown jazz pianist, Thelonious Monk.

When she listened to him a form of electric infatuation occurred in her, she was bewitched. After missing her plane, she never went home again. She left her husband and five children, moved into a suite at the Stanhope Hotel and devoted herself to trying to meet the man who had made this extraordinary record.

For a long season he followed the erratic Monk. When only one thought was in the air: did he live up to what he had dreamed of? "Oh yes," he said, "he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen in my life".

From that moment on, he was not to return. For the next 28 years, Nica devoted her life to Thelonious Monk. And she was sure he did nothing wrong. He was a genius, pure and simple, and there was nothing, not money, not castles, nothing, that was above Monk. His family sealed his name with a steel door, and if you asked them they would reply "he's vulgar", "he's the Peggy Guggenheim of jazz".Monk, Monk's wife Nellie , and Nica formed a ménage whose main purpose was to keep the composer well, as he was bipolar in addition to drugs.

But Pannonica, who was called Nica, lived next door to Monk for 38 years, and yet he lived with his wife Nellie. No one knows if it was a torrid love affair. But those who knew them say that although she was in love, if it had been sex, it wouldn't have lasted so long. She was not a sad groupee, her heart was at the very centre of the story. She was the lover of important jazz musicians and Charlie Parker died in her hotel room watching a series on television.

She had songs written for her, nearly went to jail for defending Monk who was carrying marijuana, and played herself in the Clint Eastwood-directed film about the musician.

She paid rent to many musicians, took their instruments out of pawnshops, ferried them to concerts in her silver-blue Bentley and invited them to share her home when times were hard, which they often were. "I realised they were all in great need of help," he once said. "I couldn't stand there with them and just watch and listen." In the face of her family's disapproval, she lent support to prominent musicians - among them Charlie Parker, Sony Collins, Charles Mingus and Art Blake- as to strangers. She became inextricably linked to Monk. She fell in love with the music of the great bebop priest in 1952, and two years later - when he was 34 and she was 40 - they began a relationship whose essence still defies analysis and which ended only with his death.

At Monk's funeral, the two women shared the bench as two widows.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Su padre la llamó Pannonica, que era el nombre de una mariposa. Su nombre la define.

Nació siendo Rothschild y murió siendo la baronesa del jazz. En su momento la presentaron en la corte y su matrimonio con el barón Jules de Koenigswarter, un diplomático francés guapo, fue una cuestión que se dejaba en manos de su ambiciosa madre. Estaba acostumbrada a eso.

En 1948, sin embargo, algo sucedió. En su camino al aeropuerto después de una visita a Nueva York, Nica se detuvo para visitar a un amigo, el pianista de jazz Teddy Wilson, quien le puso una grabación de Round Midnigth por un pianista de jazz entonces desconocido, Thelonious Monk.

Cuando lo escuchaba una forma de enamoramiento eléctrico ocurrió en ella, estaba embrujada. Después de haber perdido su avión, ella nunca fue a casa de nuevo. Abandonó a su marido y sus cinco hijos, se mudó a una suite en el hotel Stanhope y se dedicó a tratar de conocer al hombre que había hecho este disco extraordinario.

Durante una larga temporada siguió al errático Monk. Cuando solo un pensamiento estaba en el aire: ¿estaba a la altura de lo que había soñado? “Oh sí, dijo, era el hombre más hermoso que había visto en mi vida”.

A partir de ese momento, no iba a volver. Durante los siguientes 28 años, Nica dedicó su vida a Thelonious Monk. Y estaba segura de que no hacía nada malo. Era un genio, pura y simplemente, y no había nada, ni el dinero, ni los castillos, nada, que estuviera por encima de Monk. Su familia selló con una puerta de acero su nombre, y si se les preguntaba contestaban “es vulgar”, “es la Peggy Guggenheim del jazz”. Monk, Nellie, la mujer de Monk, y Nica formaron un ménage cuya principal finalidad era mantener al compositor para que estuviera bien, ya que además de las de las drogas, era bipolar.

Pero Pannonica, a la que se llamaba Nica, vivió durante 38 años al lado de Monk, y sin embargo él convivía con su mujer Nellie. Nadie sabe si fue una tórrida historia de amor. Pero los que los conocieron dicen que aunque ella estaba enamorada si hubiera sido sexo, no hubiera durado tanto. No fue una groupee triste, su corazón estaba en el centro mismo de la historia. Fue amante de importantes músicos de jazz y Charlie Parker murió en su habitación del hotel viendo una serie en televisión.

Tuvo canciones escritas para ella, estuvo a punto de entrar en la cárcel por defender a Monk que llevaba marihuana e hizo de ella misma en la película sobre el músico que dirigió Clint Eastwood.

Ella pagó el alquiler a muchos músicos, sacó sus instrumentos de casas de empeño, les transportaba a los conciertos en su Bentley azul plateado y los invitó a compartir su casa cuando los tiempos eran difíciles, que lo eran a menudo. “Me di cuenta de que todos ellos tenían una gran necesidad de ser ayudados”, dijo una vez. “No podía estar allí con ellos y simplemente ver y oír.” Ante la desaprobación de su familia, prestó apoyo a los músicos prominentes – entre ellos Charlie Parker, Sony Collins, Charles Mingus y Art Blake– como a desconocidos. Quedó indisolublemente unida a Monk. Se enamoró de la música del gran sacerdote de bebop en 1952, y dos años más tarde -cuando él tenía 34 y ella era 40- comenzaron una relación cuya esencia sigue desafiando el análisis y que terminó sólo con su muerte.

En el funeral de Monk, las dos mujeres compartieron el banco como dos viudas.

One of my favourite artists ever is doing a concert near where I love but he's an old ass man who's been making music for 40 years so I have to fight off hoards of middle aged 'former groupee' white women to get tickets.

[legitimatesatanspawn]

Dude is built like a tank. I've never seen him built like this before. It's always Stick, Old Man, sometimes Athletic Young Man.

But I know in my heart of hearts that while this Alfred looks just like a wall of kindness and comfort, he's got the muscles to wrestle bears underneath that suit. Doesn't even need that shotgun to take down intruders.

Someone who shouldn't be there walks in and Alfred's all polite and nice. The intruder's guard lowers because lol they got this guy fooled he's harmless and probably dumb. The person's probably seen one too many Fat Dumb Watson characters on tv to have this impression. Plus this is Brucie Wayne's old butler, how dangerous could he possibly be?

Suddenly the person is flipped over the butler's shoulder and bodyslammed into the ground. Did that really just happen? Alfred was pure efficiency, not a single movement wasted and no added strikes as the target is already dazed and too confused to fight back. He ties their wrists and ankles behind their back, tight enough to prevent movement but loose enough with soft enough material to not cause needless harm or loss of circulation.

"Master Wayne. Yes, everything is fine. Please go back to the party, there's nothing for you to worry about. Of course everything will be handled with discretion." The intruder vaguely hears something about someone knowing better than to make a scene with the sirens?

The intruder is asked a few questions once taken to another room near the back of the manor: why they felt the need to break into Wayne Manor of all places, if they are working for anyone, why they need the money that badly. Its not really an interrogation. Just... an old man gently asking the questions like its smalltalk while helping the intruder take small sips of water.

This? Isn't? How it's supposed to go? Intruder is so confused and is almost relieved when the cops show up. Finally something that'll go as expected even if its the freaking pigs manhandling the intruder into the back of the car.

...

Batman showing up in the interrogation room at the precinct... even with the rumor going around that Wayne is the vigilante's sugardaddy? Is? Weird? Not how it seems usually go from stories told about the guy. Batman seems somewhere between amused and annoyed with the intruder and they have no idea why.

Amused...

The Joker would be pissed if he found out Intruder somehow hit Batman's funnybone. oh god Intruder needs to get OUT of Gotham, please? Any other jail, just not Blackgate! The Clown has groupees in there!

( @evilminji look at this Alfred.)
