No wonder Bill Clinton didn’t make peace in the Middle East — he can’t even bring Led Zeppelin back together.
The former president failed at a mission of classic-rock diplomacy last year when he was dispatched by the Robin Hood Foundation to get the legendary British rockers to reunite for the 12-12-12 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden for victims of Hurricane Sandy — and they said no.
Foundation board member Harvey Weinstein recruited Clinton for the task, “60 Minutes” reported yesterday.
“Harvey Weinstein had this great idea that we could enlist Bill Clinton to convince Led Zeppelin to reunite,” said Robin Hood Executive Director David Saltzman.
“The president was terrific — ‘I really wanna do this, this will be a fantastic thing, I love Led Zeppelin.’ And Bill Clinton himself asked Led Zeppelin to reunite, and they wouldn’t do it.”
Clinton made the request of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, DC
The last time Led Zeppelin played together was at London’s O2 Arena, in 2007.
