Led Zep Together Again?

Oh, my. The goosebumps have barely disappeared from the various body parts of those gone gaga over December's Led Zeppelin reunion concert. And now there's an impending band meeting and hints about how "It could be fun to do more stuff."

We'll know soon enough whether the tantalizing tidbits dropped by Zep bassist John Paul Jones in a Rolling Stone interview will merely stoke the fires, or actually result in further resurrection.

Jones on legacy drummer Jason Bonham: "He's as fearless as his dad ... he did an amazing job, when you consider that he had to answer to every drummer in the world after that show."

On guitarist Jimmy Page: "He certainly hasn't lost anything. He's rock-ier ... in the rhythm parts, he throws things in that knock you out. He's matured but lost none of the excitement along the way."

And about what's next? "Before, it was 'We've got to wait and see 'til after the gig.' But we'll start talking to each other soon."

'Soon' is a January meeting at which band members will assess the December performance, and talk about future possibilities.

So, settle in, campers. The closing chapter of this story is a long way from being written.
