Consequently, the band (1968-1980) climbed the
stairway to rock 'n' roll heaven earning an immortal spot in the iconic
musical museum in 1995.
However, one local fan is still "Dazed and Confused" as to why
"the greatest heavy band" does not have an immortal star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Rocky Dickerson, 56, of Chico, is fixing to change that.
After attending the Led Zeppelin reunion performance for the
Ahmet Ertegün Tribute Concert in London last year, Dickerson returned
to California surprised to find the VH1's No. 1 ranked "100 Greatest
Artist's of Hard Rock" had no Hollywood star.
Now, Dickerson is rallying fans behind his star campaign.
"I'm trying to make this a totally fan-driven thing. I don't
want anything from any corporate entity, or anything from Led Zeppelin.
I want this to be a small thing that we, the fans, can give back to Led
Zeppelin after 40 years of great music," Dickerson said.
Dickerson is in the process of requesting written approval from
Led Zeppelin members and management to proceed with the Hollywood
nomination. If approval is granted, the next step is to raise $25,000
for the creation and installation of the star, as well as maintenance
of the Walk of Fame.
