1990: between Led Zeppelin and Manic Nirvana
The 1990 conversation with Robert Plant catches him between Led Zeppelin’s glare and Manic Nirvana, the solo album he had released that spring. He is loose enough to laugh and exact enough to refuse the easy myth of the golden god. What he keeps circling is craft: rooms, habits, the work of a voice that still has to survive playback once the legend steps aside. The old band hangs in the air as history, not as a script he is willing to read.
