Hand of God

Tim White has seen the light, or was it just a polite singer?

Went to the Tinariwen/Daara J/Rachid Taha show in Shrewsbury last night, a great night out. Tinariwen live just blow away the CDs, Daara J were huge fun and Rachid Taha rocked the house down, we all had a hands-in-the-air moment on Rock The Casbah and I swear Rachid was channelling the spirit of Commandante Joe all night. Wonderful stuff.

But the true wonder occurred in one of the set breaks. I felt a gentle "excuse me" hand on my arm, moved aside and turned round to look at the "excuser" and it was ... Robert Plant.

ROBERT PLANT TOUCHED MY ARM! I am blessed. I can now cure leprosy by laying on hands, and Bono has asked me to use my new power to bring about World Peace. Do you think I could put the blessed limb on eBay?
