Some of us see much in common between Zeppelin & KJ.

Yeah, KJ supporting Led Zeppelin just sounds like a nightmare for about 
3 or 4 different reasons I can think of off the top of my head. KJ will 
come off as the odd sideshow during which all the folks will be milling 
around and ignoring, or trying to show up after. KJ shouldn't try to 
ride the coattails of folks like Led Zeppelin or Motley Crue -- they're 
too good for that, and it's an odd, incongruent fit. Imagining Jaz inw 
arpaint blasting through "The Wait" while people want to hear 'Stairway" 
-- I don't know; it strikes me as really odd.

Early on The Damned did a small support tour for Marc Bolan, circa 1978. 
That always struck me as really odd. Not sure how that actually fared, 
though.
