It's nice when everyone comes to their senses and pulls together to avoid disaster.
We speak of the decision by Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham to dispense with plans for a Led Zeppelin reunion without Robert Plant.
Page's manager Peter Mensch told Music Radar that the plans are "completely over now" and added, in frustration, "Led Zeppelin are over! If you didn't see them in 2007, you missed them. It's done. I can't be any clearer than that."
The decision spares us of what may have been shaping up as a Led Zep tour with Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy -- something few fans really wanted to see.
Plant has been content after that one 2007 reunion show in London to put Zeppelin on the backburner and tour with Alison Krauss, with whom he recorded the Grammy-winning and now Grammy-nominated-again "Raising Sand."
Perhaps when he is finished with that, we can talk about this foursome again.
