It's hard to blame him; after all, nothing says "career over" like a lifetime achievement award. And for possibly the first time in his meandering, often mediocre solo career, Plant has no need to dwell on Zeppelin's dancing days. Next week...

And even vegetarians will have no problem warming up at Leo’s—head right for the soups, where artichoke, asparagus and lentil selections will afford you the opportunity to eat with your hamburger-munching pals...
