I was competing for attention in a four-piece band that was phenomenal, and I was trying to attack the blues from a kind of white English viewpoint as a singer.
ROBERT PLANT

Attention Trying White
I listen to the crowds [laughs]… I like Blind Melon very much.
ROBERT PLANT

Blind Crowd Laughing
It’s crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.
ROBERT PLANT

Achievement Awards Land
I’m British – ostensibly British – but I don’t know where I really belong, you know?
