Nearly four years since his last Led Zeppelin performance, Robert Plant has finally opened up about his disinterest in another reunion, his failed attempt at a follow-up record with Alison Krauss, and even Tony Blair’s conversion to Catholicism.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Led Zeppelin frontman explains that since the 2007 reunion concert, he’s “gone so far somewhere else that [he] almost can’t relate to it”, reminding fans to “think about it from my angle—soon, I’m going to need help crossing the street”.

In addition to detailing a recent trip to Morocco to recreate an iconic 1978 adventure with Jimmy Page, Plant also details the problems he and Krauss faced while attempting to write a follow-up to 2007’s Raising Sand, though he maintains “Alison is the best” and they plan to “come back to it”.

But perhaps the most interesting is his rant about his fellow contemporaries—the “jaded old farts” who keep playing the same old song, having “gotten to the point where nothing moves.” He concludes: “I don’t deal in that, and I don’t deal with anybody who deals in that.”

So much for a casino tour of the greater North America.
