Rumors of a Led Zeppelin reunion tour just won't go away. According to Britain's "Mirror," guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones, who had always been in favor of such a trek, have finally been able to sell singer Robert Plant on the idea. Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale also reportedly told the newspaper he thinks a Zeppelin tour is, quote, "very likely," adding that he's expecting Whitesnake to get the nod to serve as the opener.
There has been no official word of a tour from anyone associated with Led Zeppelin.

Everybody must get shown
Bob Dylan's visual art is getting another display. London's Halcyon Gallery is planning an exhibit of the legendary singer-songwriter's drawings, which were showcased over the winter at a museum in Germany. Dubbed "The Drawn Blank Series," the exhibit features variations of material published in the now out of print 1994 book "Drawn Blank." The book included sketches and paintings Dylan created in while on tour the late 1980s and early '90s, and are said to reflect the disconnected transience of life on the road.

Steve Winwood now has academic recognition for his music. The former Traffic frontman was among the honorary doctorate recipients from Berklee College of Music in Boston this weekend. Before Saturday's ceremony, Winwood told the "Boston Herald" that he was pleased with the nod, noting, quote, "As someone who left home and school at age 15, I'll take anything I can get." As a teenager the classic rocker had been attending music school, but notes the attitudes toward music in Britain in the 1950s were very different from what they are in U.S now.
