Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin

A Californian fan of the rock legends has recently vowed to continue his pledge to bring the legends to walk the Hollywood Walk of Fame though rocker Jimmy Page had dismissed the offer and refused to approve of the the campaign. Rocky Dickerson had launched his campaign after he saw the group perform at the Ahmet Erteg tribute Concert in London last year (07). Ever since Rocky persisted and tried several times to woo his idols and the band management to send him their approval for the nomination. But sadly Page turned him down. Ricky seems not like any regular fan who would be fended off or snubbed away. He is undeterred and has urged other fans to join him spread the message. Initially Rocky Dickerson was surprised since he had sent several letters to the band members separately. The snub though came as a surprise but he surely would remain in the frontline in strengthening his campaign.

Rocky has dedicated a website to the band. There he says on a post : “I must admit I was taken aback by Jimmy’s non-endorsement of the campaign drive. I’m sure he has his reasons… and all of them possibly valid. But I am so committed to doing this I cannot simply roll over and play dead…” Rocky at one point felt like leaving all this. He says tha tif he had taken the easy route then most certainly he would have failed himself. He says that he and million other Led Zeppelin fans need to do this to pay tribute the rock legends. He urges all the Led Zepp fans to do the honour : ” 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 (Plant) and Jonesy (John Paul Jones) to hear us and appreciate what we are trying to do.”
