Robert the hypocrite

In 2014 Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant turned down millions to do a reunion tour stating that "I don’t want to be stuck in the ’70s or the ’80s”and "'I'm Not Part of a Jukebox". If this is the case then why are all of his recent solo shows made up of Zeppelin tunes. For his performance at the 2014 New Orleans Jazz Festival 7 of the 13 songs he performed were Zeppelin tunes. If he doesn't want to be a Jukebox or be stuck in the 70's or 80's then he needs to stop playing Zeppelin songs at his shows. Most people who go to his shows are going because they are Led Zeppelin fans and want to hear him play Zeppelin songs. He plays these songs because that's what the people want to hear. Attendance at his shows would be way down if he didn't play Zeppelin songs. If he won't reunite the band for 800 million I find it highly unlikely that he would do it for the fans. This guy is a pathetic joke.
