Robert Plant: Global warming dotard

The former singer of Led Zeppelin embraces the global warming cult and embarrasses himself publicly in front of the entire world

Led Zeppelin has always been one of my favorite bands. I remember listening to them in their heyday during the 1970s, and loving all of their albums, particularly Led Zeppelin 3, which remains my favorite to this very day. One thing you can safely say about Zeppelin is that their music has withstood the test of time.

Unfortunately, you cannot say the same for Robert Plant, the once-venerable singer of Led Zeppelin. Plant has declined into a woke communist idiot in his dotage as he has embraced the global warming cult and everything that goes along with it:

What galls me about Plant is that he had the temerity to use a quote from Stairway to Heaven to push the global warming cult’s agenda. Must he drag Led Zeppelin’s music into his delusions and junk science? 🙄

Like so many others, Plant has stupidly conflated real conservation with the global warming cult’s corrupt, junk science. He actually believes that he’s doing something good by pushing the climate emergency hoax. As with most celebrities, this isn’t about the planet at all; in fact, it’s all about Robert Plant.

Robert Plant: Bored boomer searching for meaning

Let’s face it, Plant’s best days as a singer are long behind him, and now he’s looking for some “greater legacy” as his life winds down, so he’s latched onto the woke communist global warming crap to find “deeper meaning.” He wants to be remembered for something more than Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir, and Stairway to Heaven.

It’s just embarrassing watching these stupid boomer artists do this crap. Shut up, Robert, and go back to singing, or at least just retire quietly and count your money. Thank goodness Led Zeppelin doesn’t exist anymore; if it did, Plant would be writing songs pushing this woke commie trash.

This isn’t Plant’s first bit of idiocy in the vein of searching for some deeper meaning. He did an interview a while back where he criticized himself for writing songs about Gollum while his peers were writing more “meaningful lyrics”:

Elsewhere in the interview, Plant said his contributions to Led Zeppelin were sometimes “great” and sometimes they "missed the mark.”

Elucidating further, he explained: “My peer group were writing substantial pieces of social commentary, and I was willowing along the Welsh borders thinking about Gollum.

“I liked what I did, but now I look at it and go ‘Wooh, that was a bit iffy.’ But I do like ‘Stairway To Heaven. I can look at it objectively. I can’t always get my head around it, but it does do something substantial.”

I find Plant’s comments to be both annoying and nauseating. For the record, Robert, the lyrics you wrote on the first six Led Zeppelin albums were the best of your career. And yes, the Lord of the Rings references were perfect for those songs. There’s a magical blend of lyrics and music on those songs that Plant was never able to do again.

Plant, like so many others, seems to now regard politics and “social commentary” as desirable in music. It doesn’t occur to him that some people might like to NOT have the retarded political opinions of musicians in their music in an overt way. Sometimes people just want to listen to a good song and forget whatever contemporary social conflict is going on.

Take a look at the lyrics of the Battle of Evermore, and then compare those lyrics to everything Plant did after Led Zeppelin. There’s no comparison; he kicked ass in the early 70s, and everything else later on became bland and run-of-the-mill. Thanks, Robert, but I’ll stick with the “Gollum” songs.

Here’s another great song where you can see the lyrics:

And here’s another one with amazing lyrics from the Zeppelin days:

If you ever want to know where Plant’s greatest lyrics come from, read the Lyrics section from his Wikipedia bio:

Plant was influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien,[31][32] whose book series inspired lyrics in some early Led Zeppelin songs. Most notably, "The Battle of Evermore", "Misty Mountain Hop", "No Quarter", "Ramble On" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" contain verses referencing Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.[33] Conversely, Plant sometimes used more straightforward blues themes dealing with sex, as in "The Lemon Song", "Trampled Under Foot" about giving in to sexual temptation,[34] and "Black Dog" narrated by a man obsessed with a woman.[35]

Welsh mythology forms a basis of Plant's interest in mystical lyrics. He grew up close to the Welsh border and would often take summer trips to Snowdonia. Plant bought a Welsh sheep farm in 1973, and began taking Welsh lessons and looking into the mythology of the land (such as Black Book of Carmarthen, Book of Taliesin, etc.)

Plant's first son, Karac, was named after the Welsh warrior Caratacus. The song "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is named after the 18th-century Welsh cottage Bron-Yr-Aur, owned by a friend of his father; it later inspired the song "Bron-Yr-Aur".[33] The songs "Misty Mountain Hop", "That's the Way", and early dabblings in what would become "Stairway to Heaven" were written in Wales and lyrically reflect Plant's mystical view of the land.

Critic Steve Turner suggests that Plant's early and continued experiences in Wales served as the foundation for his broader interest in the mythologies he revisits in his lyrics (including those myth systems of Tolkien and the Norse).[36]

That is what Plant meant when he said “willowing along the Welsh borders, thinking about Gollum.” Yet he never came close to writing such beautiful lyrics again. Everything that came afterward in terms of lyrics was more or less average rock songwriting. Plant rolled on, but his best lyrics stayed in the early 1970s.

Robert Plant’s voice changed for the worse

I’ll also go on record as saying Plant’s voice was WAY better back in those days. He said later that he “retired” how he used to sing in Led Zeppelin and moved on. Moved on to what, Robert? A thin, sometimes annoying kind of singing that lacks the richness and robustness of how you sounded on most of the Led Zeppelin albums (with the possible exception of In Through the Out Door).

Compare “Gallows Pole” from Led Zeppelin 3 with “In the Mood” from one of his post-Zeppelin albums. In the first song, his voice is throaty, rich and strong, but in the second song, it’s reedy, thin and somewhat irritating to listen to as the song goes on. After a minute or two, I just want to turn off “In the Mood” and go back to a song like “Gallows Pole.”

Percy is as cheap now as he was in 1975

Just another quick swipe at Robert: He is likely worth at least a couple of hundred million dollars, but he’s too cheap to pay Elon $8 per month for a blue-check! He was always known to be tight with money when he was in Led Zeppelin, but he won’t part with $8?

Where is your blue-check, Robert, you cheap bastard? 😂 🙄

By the way, if you don’t know where Robert’s nickname “Percy” comes from, watch this video:

Where is the rest of The Honeydrippers music?

Since I’m going off on Plant, I must mention this travesty. One of Robert’s projects was a group called The Honeydrippers. They released an EP in 1984 that included a remake of the song “Sea of Love.” The EP did very well, but Plant pulled the plug on the project because he didn’t want to be known as a “crooner.”

Here is the original album cover, and take note of what it says in the bottom right corner: VOLUME ONE.

It’s been about 40 years, Robert? Where the hell is the rest of the Honeydrippers music? For the record, The Honeydrippers stuff was way better than certain other projects Robert has done over the years, so it was a tragedy that no more was released.

Shame on you, Robert. This is from Honeydrippers fans all over the world:

Even Jimmy Page got sick of Robert’s bullshit

As I was reading through the Wikipedia page about Robert, I was amused to find this:

In February 2013, Plant hinted that he was open to a Led Zeppelin reunion in 2014, though suggesting that he was not the reason for Led Zeppelin's dormancy, saying that Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones "are Capricorns...They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me", adding that he was "not the bad guy" and that "You need to see the Capricorns – I've got nothing to do in 2014".[102]

In a spring 2014 interview with the BBC about the then forthcoming reissue of Led Zeppelin's first three albums, Page said he was sure fans would be keen on another reunion show, but Plant later replied that "the chances of it happening [were] zero".

Page then told The New York Times that he was "fed up" with Plant's refusal to play, stating: "I was told last year that Plant said he is doing nothing in 2014, and what do the other two guys think? Well, he knows what the other guys think. Everyone would love to play more concerts for the band. He's just playing games, and I'm fed up with it, to be honest with you. I don't sing, so I can't do much about it", adding: "I definitely want to play live. Because, you know, I've still got a twinkle in my eye. I can still play. So, yeah, I'll just get myself into musical shape, just concentrating on the guitar."[103]

On 30 July 2014, NME revealed that Plant was "slightly disappointed and baffled" by Page in an ongoing Led Zeppelin dispute during which Page declared he was "fed up" with Plant delaying Led Zeppelin reunion plans. Instead, Plant offered Led Zeppelin's guitarist to write acoustically with him as he is interested in working with Page again but only in an unplugged way.[104] Page responded:

He would have no intention whatsoever of doing it ... I've had enough of all this stuff, to be honest: 'Robert says this, Robert says that.' ... The only reality of it is that we did one concert. No matter how you dress it up, look at the situation. That's it.[105]

I don’t blame Jimmy Page at all, in any way. Robert has teased a Led Zeppelin reunion at various times in his career, but only truly delivered it in 2007. He immediately veered away from doing anything else, but he still teased here and there.

Everybody is sick of your shit, Robert, even Jimmy Page.

Now it’s too late for Zeppelin to do anything of substance; they are all getting too old. But that’s probably for the best, given how bad Plant’s lyrics would be if there were ever another Zeppelin album.

It’s time for Robert to retire and spend his millions

I think Robert Plant has done most of what he’s going to do musically, more or less. The last thing I want from him is his insipid celebrity opinions about politics and the global warming scam. He isn’t educated enough to have an opinion worth listening to in that regard, and he exists inside a celebrity monoculture bubble that only ever presents woke-commie propaganda.

Thanks for the great music, Robert. Now shut the fuck up and go away.
