The “Freudian” Robert Plant
Freud wrote about the importance of the father in the life of everyone. It was true about Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. On the early days, his father did not believe that Robert had a serious job. Led Zeppelin was adored by millions of people. The musicians were millionaire. All this was not enough for the father of Robert.
“When, finally, the ‘Financial times’ article appeared [about the group], Robert excitedly put his arm round Danny’s shoulder and rasped: ‘My dad finally believes I’m a success. (…) Now he finally thinks I may have done the right thing not to become a chartered accountant.’” (Stephen Davis, Hammer of Gods, p. 140-141)
Unfortunately, it was not the end of the story. On the latter days, the luck of the band has changed. The son of Robert Plant died from a mysterious virus infection in 1977. His name was Karac. At that time, Robert’s father said:
“All this success and fame, what is the worth? It doesn’t mean much when you compare it to the love of a family.” (Chris Welch. The Story of Led Zeppelin. In.: HM Photo Book. London: Omnibus Press, 1983)
The young Robert Plant did not get the most important thing for him: the respect of his father. Nowadays he became an old Englishman. In 2009, Simon Cable ironically wrote a title for the Daily Mail: “Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant joins Establishment after accepting CBE from Prince Charles.” * Simon Cable wrote in the article:
“He was the bare – chested screamer who embodied the phrase sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
Robert Plant was almost as renowned for his hellraising behaviour as for his performances with Led Zeppelin.
But old rockers never die – they just end up at Buckingham Palace.” *
Robert still sings. He is famous and rich. However, about the history of respect…
