Robert Plant, Little Rock. Little Rock, Robert Plant. Just doesn't seem right. We never thought Robert Plant would perform in Little Rock, not in a million years. But it's true. The vocalist/lyricist of Led Zeppelin and 2009 Grammy Award for album of the year, Raising Sand, will perform with The Band of Joy Thursday, July 15, at Robinson Center Music Hall.

Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, April 2, through TicketMaster.

Of course I ordered tickets. What dyed-in-the-wool baby boomer wouldn't? My only fear is that I won't be able to stay awake if the concert goes past 9 p.m. Perhaps we should all take the next day off.
