Effing Robert Plant is STILL a diva pain in the ass. Lacks the simple ability to say "thank you."
In the old days, Robert, we'd also call selling advertising rights to Cadillac for "Rock & Roll" to be "selling out," too.



When the 51st Annual Grammy Awards paused to hand out actual awards, a lot of them went to Alison Krauss and Robert Plant.

The duo from opposite sides of the musical tracks continued to prove that risks are worth taking as they collected a leading three awards at Sunday's performance-packed ceremony, including Album of the Year for their debut collaboration, Raising Sand, and Record of the Year for "Please Read the Letter," en route to notching five Grammys overall.

Raising Sand was also named Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album, while the tunes "Killing the Blues" and "Rich Woman" won for Best Country and Pop Collaboration With Vocals, respectively.

"I'm bewildered," Plant said upon accepting the evening's top award. "In the old days we'd call this selling out, but I think it's a good way to spend a Sunday."

3. But.. but..
She's made for better company! I love her, and it seemed she was just viewed as "the woman singer" by the Plant collaboration. It may have just been me.

Well.. that and I never gave the duo much of a look other than name and one or two songs.

10. well, I like Krauss's regular sound, too...and I like Plant's regular
sound as well. Together, I think it is nice. I, also liked the Loretta Lynn/ Jack Stipe (?) collaboration. meh. I like to see people stretch their comfort zones...does not always make for great music. This time, I think it works quite nicely. ymmv. :hug: :hi:
