Was That the Door Opening a Crack.

Robert Plant has reportedly told GQ magazine that he has no objection to
doing another reunion with Led Zeppelin, it's the bureaucracy involved that
puts him off:

Rocker ROBERT PLANT has not ruled out another reunion with his band LED
ZEPPELIN - insisting it's the bureaucracy involved that puts him off the
idea.
The Kashmir hitmakers have been dogged by rumours of a world tour since they
reformed for a one-off gig in London last year (Dec07) - their first concert
in 19 years.
But singer Plant, who is currently touring with bluegrass star Alison
Krauss, has so far refused to agree to hit the road with the legendary group
again.
And he insists it's not the idea of a reunion which he is opposed to - it's
the paperwork that accompanies every live show.
He tells Britain's GQ magazine, "The endless paperwork was like nothing I've
experienced before. I've kept every one of the emails that were exchanged
before the concert and I'm thinking of compiling them for a book, which I
feel sure would be hailed as a sort of literary version of Spinal Tap
(semi-fictional heavy metal band featured in spoof documentary This Is
Spinal Tap).
"Led Zeppelin's never been about the fans. We've always been about four guys
coming together to make thrilling, disturbing rock 'n' roll. On our own
terms."
