Dec. 12, 2008 – The more we hear about the Led Zeppelin reunion the more it sounds like a journey Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham may regret. Jeff Beck has now gone on record to clarify that a Zeppelin reunion without Robert Plant as lead vocalist would be a huge mistake.

Dec. 24, 2008 – Last week 
Dec. 24, 2008 – While most of the world was excited about a possible Led Zeppelin reunion, Robert Plant likened the experience to Leprosy. The 60 year old singer says he’s just too old for two-hour Rock arena shows and that former Zep band-mate Jimmy Page supports his decision. Page adds that the two are still good friends. 
Dec. 23, 2008 - Suze Orman won’t help you out of the credit crisis but maybe B.B. King can. The famous guitarist has slashed prices at the B.B. King Blues Club in New York. With so many losing their jobs and homes maybe going to a concert is at the bottom of most everyone’s list.

Jeff Beck has now gone on record to clarify that a Zeppelin reunion without Robert Plant as lead vocalist would be a huge mistake. He says, "I really don't think it's a good idea, not if Robert doesn't want to. I was there at the one-off show at the O2 Arena and it was fantastic.

Now that scientists have cured aids, cancer and that thing that keeps Britney from singing in tune, they have some free time. I guess over some Ovaltine some labcoat named Guthbert, said, “Hey, lets go to the lab and draw some pictures of Jim Morrison as an old dude.” 
Dec. 10, 2008 – Diana Krall says get ready for a more intimate, sensual and erotic album this time around. I guess that explains all those promo shots of the singer wearing stiletto high heels Krall explains, "I'm not coy single girl singing 'Peel Me a Grape. I love that song but I don't love it for me any more, I feel more womanly, I guess, and I think this record is a love letter but very sensual, more on the erotic side. It's definitely late night."

Dec. 4, 2008 – Remember when Green Day first came out? How many critics, including me, called them rip-offs of everything that was good in punk? Their Raw Rock, Post Punk sound slowly won me and everybody else over since their debut in the early nineties. 
Dec. 3, 2008 - Everybody loves a good reunion – even Paul McCartney. I think it’s safe to say if all the Beatles were alive some sort of reunion would have happened. McCartney has said though it would not be the Beatles without all the parts.
