LED ZEPPELIN - Hollywood Walk Of Fame Organizer Not Giving Up Campaign Drive
October 23, 2008, 15 years ago
As previously reported, LED ZEPPELIN fans have started a campaign to get LED ZEPPELIN a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Campaign organizer Rocky Dickerson recently received a note from JIMMY PAGE representative Joan Hudson stating that "he does not feel that this is something that he can endorse."
Dickerson has sent BraveWords.com the following update:
"Thanks to all of you for your support on this effort. I must admit I was taken aback by Jimmy's non-endorsement of the campaign drive. I'm sure he has his reasons, many of which I have discussed with some of you, and all of them possibly valid. But I am so committed to doing this I cannot simply roll over and play dead. I hope those of you who love Led Zeppelin as much as I do understand. And to those who don't, I respect your opinion. Please respect ours.Since I heard from Jimmy's representative, a lot of things have gone through my mind. Yes, I did think of giving up for a moment, and if I had wanted to take the easy way out, I would have. But I feel so passionately that the fans need to do this to honor Led Zeppelin. It is and probably will be the only thing we can do on such a major scale. So once again, join with me and sign the petition, do whatever you can to convince Jimmy, Robert and Jonesy to hear us and appreciate what we are trying to do. Contact them, if you can, contact anyone who has a sympathetic ear. There is nothing Led Zeppelin needs to do other than approve of the effort. The rest is up to us. If approved, the outcome could be so magnificent that we would all be in awe of the accomplishment."
