Robert Plant has a famously difficult relationship with Led Zeppelin's 1971 masterpiece Stairway To Heaven, but most musicians would draw a line at happily contributing to a campaign to stop their most famous song being aired. Plant? He didn't hesitate.
"I was in Portland, Oregon," Plant told NPR in 2002. "I was driving along in my car, heading for Lincoln City, which is out on the coast. I wanted to drive down to Eureka. And just before the black-and-white [the highway patrol] caught me doing 90mph, [I was listening to] KBOO. It had this amazing music – it was kind of a mixture of sad outtakes of doo-wop and a very droll DJ, who sounded like somebody from Marin County in 1967."
