Robert Plant Apparently Did License Cadillac
This is old news by now and my source is not impeccable, but I asked the question a few days ago, "Who sold the rights for commercial use of Led Zeppelin's music to Cadillac?"Apparently, Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin did. Scroll down this Led Zep tribute site and you'll see news photos of Plant at Cadillac's 100th Anniversary celebration.
I'm shocked. Shocked, I say.
Guess all that money from the '70s ran out. But it says something interesting that they still control their music, unlike the Beatles and lots of other musicians. Good for them.

"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow ...
Don't be alarmed now.It's just a spring clean for the May Queen."
Just what the hell does that mean? I've wondered for more than 30 years.
But my real questions is, if Zep really still owns the rights to their music who sold Cadillac the rights to use it in their commercials?
From Rock Gods to Ringtones
Posted by Alan Wexelblat
As you've no doubt seen by now, the remaining members of Led Zeppelin have finally agreed to release their complete collection on iTunes, along with a special purchase item that bundles all 141 tunes. Verizon Wireless will also be offering Zep ringtones.
The band has famously refused most prior commercial uses of their music, with one amusing exception: Jack Black begged them for the rights to use "Immigrant Song".

Brian May - Watch Out!
From Seth Dillingham comes this link to a cool video of some kid wailing his electric guitar on Pachelbel's Canon. Pretty cool. The kid can definitely play, assuming this is genuine. And it looks genuine.Canon on Guitar
This kid really knows how to play the guitar.
I watched for signs of a fake. There are a couple of moments that seem off, but it could be the result of junky camera, or digitization, or something else.
He certainly seems to have all the right motions in both hands. I have some extremely musical friends around here... what do you think? Speak up!
(Thanks for the link, Dad!)
