Hey - I just read this great little snippet from the Doors fan newsletter... great to know that Robert Plant was a fan of the Doors too. Two of the best classic rock bands of all the time. Here is the scoop...
Darryl Alber (Sayville, NY) had a chance encounter with Robert
Plant when he took his family summer vacation to Memphis, TN
earlier this month. Darryl knew Plant was playing in Memphis on
the 8th so he surmised that he would be staying at the famous
Peabody Hotel. It's the 5 star place that has the ducks that walk
down a red carpet into an elevator everyday @ 11am. For those
of you familiar with the Memphis landscape, Lansky Clothing
shop is situated next door… Lansky was pretty much Elvis'
exclusive clothier from '56 till his death.
After Darryl and family watched the ducks, he looked over and
Robert Plant was right there in the hotel gift shop buying gum
and a magazine complete with a lovely lady by his side!
“Man did he look like a rock star complete with a lovely lady by
his side. He was wearing a brown Doors' Morrison Hotel t-shirt
and the rings and bracelets that I had seen many times during
midnight movie showings of ‘The Song Remains The Same.’”
Darryl’s wife grabbed the camera and snatched the photo linked
below. Thanks for sharing Darryl!
