LEZ ZEPPELIN PLAY COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY GIG

I’m not sure I why I don’t like this idea, but I don’t.

Led Zeppelin to play reunion gig in London

LONDON - Led Zeppelin will perform a one-time comeback concert in memory of Ahmet Ertegun, a co-founder of Atlantic Records.

The band will perform together for the first time in 19 years on Nov. 26, at London’s The O2 venue, on the banks of the River Thames.

Promoters said the concert would pay tribute to Ertegun — the label boss who popularized Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin — who died in December at age 83.

I mean that’s fine, I guess, it’s just that I’m starting to wish that bands from the past would just stay in the past. Especially when key members have died. Part of me is excited, part of me is afraid that it will suck. Hard to tell. I’m not the biggest Led Zepplin fan ever, maybe that’s what it is. I like them, and I respect them as a group, but just haven’t been that into them. I really enjoyed the Pixies when they got back together, that was awesome, but they had all their members still, and were in great form. I don’t know.

You know what? I take it back. Let Led Zeppelin do whatever they want. If I’m not fan enough to care, then I’m not fan enough to weigh in. I mean, really, three old friends want to get together and play a show. I actually kind of like that idea. Huh. I’ll have to think about it.
