Big hair and big vocals
We went to Feather Falls Casino again last night. They had a Led Zeppelin tribute band called Led Zepagain. They actually sounded pretty good, and sounded a lot like Led Zeppelin, only I realized that music is difficult to dance to.
It's more stoner, trip out and rock your head music.
But it was funny to watch all the gray-haired guys rocking their heads up and down like some collection of bobble dolls.
The band was dressed up like the actual bandmembers. I don't think they were wearing wigs, not with all the head banging that occurred, so they must keep their hair like that for their "career." The lead singer, the Robert Plant character, had a blonde doo that was all crazy curly. I could just see his tax
return, with $3,000 for bleach jobs and perms as a busines deduction.
He said they had been doing this act for 15 years and had the sanction of the band to do it. That's nice I guess. They were pretty good and respectful of Led Zepplin. Of course they ended with Stairway to Heaven and finally some people got up and rocked out.
I just couldn't help thinking about all that ridiculous hair. How did they cope with that in regular life? Do they just pull it back in a pony tail so it doesn't look like they're lost in Wayne's World? Maybe they don't really have normal lives. Heck, they live in L.A. so they could get away with dressing like Robert Plant and Jimmy Paige every day and just look like another L.A.-type person.
