Knowing Plant to be a total music geek, he made a mix CD to play while he was at work, purely for Plant's benefit. At one point, Plant walked through the lobby, paused, cocked his head and said, "Geechie Wiley . . . brilliant," and walked on out of the building.

There is something about that that I just really like a lot. What a nerd. (That's a very good thing, in my parlance.)

Who's Geechie Wiley, by the way?

I think if you look closely, you'll see it in this pic:

Ooooh, poll, not pole.

Gotcha.

Maybe he's fixing Percy's plumbing?

As for Robert Plant, he sings the way so few hard rock singers do: joyfully. Say what you will about his heavy-handedness, more-than-occasional shrillness, and inexplicible taste for ladyshirts, the man seems truly to appreciate the simple pleasures of making noise. That alone is enough to warrant a Not Crap. Seriously. Watch the MSG and Earl's Court footage from How The West Was Won and tell me he's not having a blast up there. "The Ocean" may be one of the only convincingly joyful hard rock songs ever sung. Depressing and/or riling up teenagers is like shooting fish in a barrel: a worthwhile pursuit, but still.

Funny, when I saw this movie a few years ago I thought Crumb was so smart. Now I just think he's an ass. It's probably a generational thing or something...

Geechie Wiley's pretty great though.
