Digging Deep, The Robert Plant Podcast - Carry Fire

I also listened to Carry Fire episode again (Series 2 Episode 5). It is mostly about the Sensational Space Shifters, their music collaborations, exotic instruments and so on. However, at one point Matt Everitt asked about the lyrics. Sorry for the mistakes.

Robert Plant: *talking about Oum Kalsoum, the notations of people from another world playing in different skales*… I think we’ve all in Spaceshifters sort of moved into that zone always quite often from… And, I guess, in my case, from… probably from Zeppelin III onwards. The adventures and the mining camp(?), you know, I’ve always been there. That’s what it is. It’s just part of the thing that makes me… it is emotive and it is some feeling of awkward satisfaction when you get to the end of something like that. ‘Cause it’s certainly not 'she loves you’, you know. But it’s poignant and it has a sad thought of an old heart.

*playing “I carry fire for you / Here my naked hands / I bare my heart to you / If you will understand / Just like, just like, just like I scar you”*

ME: That’s a beautifully romantic lyric. It’s… I don’t know what phrase I’m looking for. It’s the pain of 'I will, I will do this for you, I will do anything for you’. What did it take? That’s, once again, maybe I’m reading it wrong, I don’t know.

RP: No, I’ll do. I will do, yeah…

ME: What can you tell me about the lyric?

RP: That’s it.

ME: *laughs*

RP: Really. You know, observations of life and… damage.

ME: But you maintain your romantic heart?

RP: Sadly, yeah. Be better to go, to been gone. I think it was something, was substantial.

*start talking about the Sensational Space Shifters again*

ME: But also, I mean, is this Sensational Space Shifters, is this, this is not a door that’s closed, these are not people who you are not be bringing together in the future ongoing.

RP: Of course, it is, yeah, everything’s ongoing, I mean, and everybody’s ongoing, it’s, and we’re all going in the same dance really. We will be playing now. And then we have to think about how we say the next thing, and how we craft that. And these two collections of songs have been pretty, for us, it’s all about for us, the music. *and so on about the music*

I've just realized that it's autumn, spring and summer on the tour posters (in the chronology of the tour dates). I didn't pay much attention then because Europe was ignored and now I'm like, "Oh... Oh, OOOH"

These are the seasons of emotion

And like the wind, they rise and fall

This is the wonder of devotion

I see the torch

We all must hold

A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms - “Lord Brynden ‘Bloodraven’ Rivers”

“I have a question too,” said Egg.

“I begin to understand why your father was so willing to be rid of you. What more would you have of me, cousin?”

“Who took the dragon’s egg? There were guards at the door, and more guards on the steps, no way anyone could have gotten into Lord Butterwell’s bedchamber unobserved.”

Lord Rivers smiled. “Were I to guess, I’d say someone climbed up inside the privy shaft.”

“The privy shaft was too small to climb.”

“For a man. A child could do it.”

“Or a dwarf,” Dunk blurted. A thousand eyes, and one. Why shouldn’t some of them belong to a troupe of comic dwarfs?

The Hammer and The Anvil

Prince Baelor Breakspear struck the rebel rear with a host of stormlords and Dornishmen, shattering their lines and the battle was ended. Prince Maekar led the rest of the forces to crush the rebels between them.

There's a scene where Dunk goes to talk to Baelor in the solar. That scene is at night, very candle-lit. And then, he goes to talk to Maekar, where it's a completely different feel. It was very deliberate, to make it feel like the castle is colder [after Baelor's death]

"He was very gentlemanly and accommodating, and quite well-spoken," [Jim] McCarty has said. "Very easy to get on with, very businesslike." "He was very sweet and wanted to please," agrees [Chris] Dreja. "He'd do anything for you until his ego got in the way."

The Yardbirds had all known Page as a session regular and blues devotee and had seen him casually for years. "I used to meet him outside, of all places, a tropical fish store in Tolworth," Dreja looked back. "Jimmy was a tropical fish enthusiast and he'd say something like, 'Hello, Chris, I've just bought a nice thermometer for my fish.' He was a strange guy, even then."

McCarty had met him when Eric Clapton was on lead guitar: "He came to a gig when Eric was still in the band and he was with Jackie DeShannon. He looked pretty cool, a bit of a rock star." Now that he was an official band member—booked for what would be his first public gigs since 1963—Page was ready to dress the part. "He made a point of getting the right sort of clothes, getting these old military jackets, McCarty has noted.

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”

— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972

Note the date, people:

That’s 1972

29 years before AVEN was started online,

and 47 years before the present.

And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.

So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.

Thanks for tagging 💜

Yesterday, I didn't mean to read the transcript the moment I saw the notification but then I did.

Bill Curbishly [their manager at that time]:"..But anyway, I soon realized that I was dealing with two totally different personalities. Robert is really the reluctant star. He really is. For all of his posturing and everything up on the stage. He's very much the reluctant star in the sense that he really wants to do the wacky things or the left-footed things or the artistic things rather than the obvious. Which sometimes presents problems because it's either impractical or uneconomical. He also is the kind of person who wants to do things just on spec. You know, he'll just like suddenly do a complete turnaround and want to do something just that little bit. Jimmy's the kind of guy who wants to get things really right. He wants to get them perfect. He's the guy who went and did like 35 cuts of a Zeppelin album before he was happy with the cut. You know? So that's how he did it.

Although they're different, they also meet somewhere in the middle. That's why during the Zeppelin days, they were able to travel around the Middle East, traveled around Africa, North Africa, did all those things together, India. They do have an empathy that meets somewhere. But somebody said to me, what's it like managing these two guys? So I said, a good analogy is that you're walking down a street. You see this guy and his wife or this guy and a woman having an argument, having a fight, you know, on street corner. And suddenly the guy punches the woman. So you run over and you say, "Hey, you can't do that." You know, and you pull them apart and they both start beating you. So I now have to make sure that I have the two of them together when I do things, because if you talk to them separately, they say certain things or agree with you on certain things and then they change their minds when they're together."
