If my pretend world were to really be true, here is how the Led Zep tour would go down-

They would play only 1 show in the following countries-Europe, China, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Russia and Mexico. After those shows they would come to the U.S. and play the major cities-NYC, LA, Boston, San Fran, Seattle, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Denver, maybe Oaklahoma.

Then, to wrap the whole thang up, they would do 3 concecutive shows in NEW ORLEANS at the SUPERDOME! A Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Opening for them would be The Foo Fighters, Whitesnake and Zebra. And maybe one of our favorite local bands like the Chee Weez. And maybe Trombone Shorty. All shows would start at 12noon and be over by 10p. (early so the boys can rest up and us Led Zep fans could still get a solid 8 hrs of sleep in) Ticket prices for the N.O. shows would only be $50 and the shows would be general admission. Some proceeds would go to rebuilding the city. This would all be around the time of my (annual) 29th birthday. And the tickets would have-”Kat’s Annual 29th Birthday Bash with Led Zeppelin” printed on them. Robert would sing Happy Birthday to me and the whole audience would sing with him! He would then dedicate the whole show to ME.

New Orleans celebs would come on stage with me as I intro the band-Duece, Peja, CP3, Drew, Reggie, Sugar Ray Nagin, The Canal St Brothel Madam, Maragaret Oar, Sean Peyton, The Manning bros, a picture of Harry Lee! First responders and hurricane Katrina heros, my dog Zak, Brad and Angie, Harry Shearer as Derek Smalls of course (he would also sit in with the band on a tune or 2!) Larry Flint, Dr. John, A Neville Brother and sister, the dude who owns that crazy LSU bus, The Saints/Elvis dude, one of our awesome gospel choirs, who am I forgetting??? They would all sing with the band the song- FOOL IN THE RAIN to open the show as that song sounds kinda choir-ish to me. (sidebar-they wouldn’t even perform Stairway) The audience would consist of every walk of life in the city and every age possible.

The audience would cry and sing and laugh and it would be the greatest concert ever in the history of THE WORLD!! (another sidebar- all beer would be free)

After the show, the band would come to my house to go swimming and enjoy crawfish and my famous potato salad. We would make smores and Robert would play accoustic and we’d have a sing along around the fire. Randy Jackson and Robert would finally have that arm wrestling fight and Dave Grohl and Jason Bonham would play drums on my old K-Tel drum kit that I’ve had since I was 4. All the while Jimmy would be bartending making drinks for everyone and by this time my roomate would have tried to make out with John Paul. The band would then promise to play JazzFest every year until they all die off. They would also promise to play the Saints home opener every year too.

And that my friend is how it will all happen in my little wacky world. Don’t you just want to live in it sometimes?

Okay, yeah. We’ve heard it before, and I think maybe most of us are tired of the band that cried wolf. But there’s something about this announcement about an upcoming announcement that has my attention: David Coverdale.

In addition to being the singer for Whitesnake, Coverdale has also recorded and toured with Led Zep’s Jimmy Page. The fact that they have a relationship adds some amount of credibility. Also, the fact that Page, John Paul JonesJason Bonham and all have expressed a passionate desire to tour leads me to a theory. It’s out the box, but not beyond the realm of possibility. Hear me out, okay?

To date, the big sticking point in a full blown Zeppelin tour has been Robert Plant. What if the rest of the band decided to hit the road WITHOUT Plant? What if they’ve decided they can pull this off with Coverdale as their singer? I definitely think he has the range to pull it off, and with that much money at stake, (In U.S. dollars it’s around $489 million, with about $20 million apiece for the band members), it would just be ignorant NOT to do the tour.

Bet your ass I’ve got my ear to the grindstone on this one!

Any thoughts?

Ah, if at my prom way back when, I put this dress on, (the dress on the left) my daddy would KICK MY ASS!!!! Yes, she looks like a slut! WTF???!!! This gal was asked to leave her prom over the weekend because her dress was too slutty. She put up a fight and ended up being arrested. You are a perv if you think this teenager looks good! She doesn’t! She looks like she is waiting for a 2 dollar trick. Maybe she doesn’t own a mirror.

That’s my Mom, sporting her 80’s mullet!! Her hair today is similiar as it was then. Just more blue/gray.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL MOM’S! and please sit back and enjoy our “Mullet’s for Mom Weekend”

What a cute couple, yes?

Being a liberal republican with democratic values that grew up in yankeeville with a bleeding heart liberal for a father and never ever being allowed to see color, only the person, and not distiguishing between a ‘2 party’ government, I believe it is time the damn democrats come together, unite, kiss and make up and for the love of the USA, get em both on the ticket! GEEEESH! (I believe in the death penalty, a womans right to choose, god-jesus-christianity, gun control, bringing our troops home, lowering taxes, gay marriage, killing and tourturing terrorists and whippin’ the eff outta Osama fyi, hope you still like me after this ramble)  And even though John McCain broke bread at the first thanksgiving dinner, he ain’t George W! It will be the most exciting, important and nail biting election ever! No matter who are what you believe in, get on out there and VOTE! And make sure during the next few primaries you play the ‘Democaratic Primary Drinking Game’. Everytime Obama says-” CHANGE”, drink. Everytime Hilary says-” EXPERIENCE”, drink. Drink DOUBLE if they say those words together. This will surely put you in the state of mind you need to be in to make up yer mind on who to vote for!

I really pity my gal who gives me a pedi this week! I’ll be sure to tip her tons!

That’s my boss celebrating Cinco de Mayo today at Supiere Grill with The Bayou Krewe! Ya, he’s still sportin that 70’s mustache everyday! By the end of the night he’ll be speaking spanish fo sho! Actually, he’ll be slurring like he usually does and we’ll just pretend he’s speaking spanish to make him feel better. HAPPY CINCO DE BAYOU TODAY!

And here’s to a great JAZZFEST 08!!! and thanx to global warming for those strange weather patterns we had, appreciate that!
