ROBERT PLANTI listen to the crowds [laughs]… I like Blind Melon very much.
ROBERT PLANTI absolutely adore and idolise women. All women. I think they are all amazing. The female musicians I’ve met have been far more inspiring than the male ones. Women tend to be much more creative and ambitious. I think I may have been a woman in a past life.
