>I was talking about Roger, not Pete.
Whooops. Ok, then...ummmm....ummmmm.....hope/pray for more acting jobs?
>Who cares what the motivation is?
Well, I do. I'd rather have a Pete motivated by passion than by greed. Greed, as we can see in various institutions, brings only shoddy results to the whole.

Roger definitely needs this more than Pete.
Kind of cool that Pete seems to be doing this for Roger.
>Zep was in STEEP decline and IMHO Plant just wanted a graceful way out.
There ya go again. Stealing my thoughts!

<GASP!> It would be kind of cool, wouldn't it?

Hey, "cowboy" is a dirty word to any self respecting Redskins fan like myself!!!

>We all have our burdens to bear.
Knowing your love for the mountains, I know you can't possibly think that living in VT is a burden to bear. Moving here was the best decision my wife and I ever made (well, except for getting married ;-). I actually like cows. They're cool, and quite interested and curious creatures. No one ever takes the time to hang with them a bit though to find out.
>I'm in South Carolina...top that one, if you can!
No thanks. I know an impossible task when I see one.

I think you're right, but I do hope he has some self motivations.
>Man, just think for a minute what their relationship has evolved into.
I've been thinking about the irony of this for a while now.
The irony is thick.

Amen brotha.

Cousin Scott was gettin' deep, wasn't he?
But man, hit the nail right on the head....and hard.

>Enough......I am content!
I echo the sentiment.
But, there's also the selfish side of me that wants more. That side is wrestling with the logical and practical side that is scared of a Who bashing if/when a new release ever comes to fruition.
Round and round we go!!!!
