It’s a diplomatic failure at the highest level: Bill Clinton couldn’t get Led Zeppelin to reunite.
The CBS “60 Minutes Overtime” webcast reported Monday that the former president was enlisted to ask the British rock gods to get back together last year for the Superstorm Sandy benefit concert in New York City. He asked, they said no.
David Saltzman of the Robin Hood Foundation says he and film executive Harvey Weinstein flew to Washington to ask Clinton to make the plea. Led Zeppelin’s surviving members Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were in Washington just before the Sandy concert for the Kennedy Center Honors.
Led Zeppelin last played publicly at a one-night reunion in London in 2007.

Justin Bieber reportedly caused a ruckus at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport when he and his entourage blew through passport control without presenting their travel documents.
Team Bieber – around a dozen strong – went straight for the cars idling outside Wednesday night, with airport officials in hot pursuit, according to the Dogan News Agency. Eventually, airport security reportedly agreed to do the security check curbside and allowed the pop star to go on his way.
Fanatical Bieber fans – known as ‘Beliebers’ – were waiting for the pint-sized singer as he stepped off his private plane, but were disappointed when his bodyguards whisked him into the awaiting vehicles.
Beiber, 19, is due to give a concert tonight to a sold-out crowd at Istanbul’s Technical University’s sports arena and, according to his Twitter page, he can’t wait.
“Turkey is crazy right now,” he wrote. “We ready.”
Kings favorite The Neighbourhood who we posted before they struck a deal with Columbia Records recently performed at Coachella. Their single “Sweater Weather” is quickly climbing the rock charts. In a recent MTV interview, Rutherford said this:
“When I was a kid, I had goals: a record deal with a big old record company, playing Coachella and these cool shows; I want to push it far,” he said. “I truly believe that we’ve written some strong songs, and they’re not the best songs we’re ever going to write, but they’re damn good songs. And I want people to feel part of this, to be part of this community, part of the neighbourhood.”
