Bill Clinton tried to broker Led Zeppelin reunion

FILE - This Oct. 9, 2012 file photo shows musicians, from left, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and Jason Bonham at the"'Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day" premiere in New York. CBS' "60 Minutes" webcast reported Monday, May 6, 2013, that former President Clinton was enlisted to ask the British rock band to get back together last year for the Superstorm Sandy benefit concert in New York. He asked, they said no. David Saltzman of the Robin Hood Foundation says he and film executive Harvey Weinstein flew to Washington to ask Clinton to make the plea. Led Zeppelin's surviving members Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were in Washington just before the Sandy concert for the Kennedy Center Honors. Led Zeppelin last played publicly at a one-night reunion in London in 2007.
