Rock-and-roll is alive and well and shrieking beside a bus. The
bus belongs to John Paul Jones, the former bass player for Led
Zeppelin, and the shrieking belongs to a twenty-something damsel who
is pirouetting on the sidewalk and waving a T-shirt.
"I was on the bus and he signed my shirt!" she shouts to everyone.
"HE SIGNED MY SHIRT!"
It's true. The garment, however, is emblazoned with the words
"Page and Plant," a souvenir from a tour by Zeppelin founders Jimmy
Page and Robert Plant. To his chagrin, Jones wasn't invited on that
round-the-world jaunt, so asking him to sign this particular jersey
was a bit like asking John McCain to slap a "Bush for President"
bumper sticker on his minivan.
