Steve Johnston; Rounder RecordsDavid Coverdale says he'd like to end his 20-year-old feud with Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant. What feud, you may be wondering?
Apparently, it began after the Whitesnake singer released a well-received one-off album with Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, Coverdale Page, in 1993. According to ClassicRockMagazine.com, the quarrel began after Plant took some digs at Coverdale, whom he referred to as "David Cover-version." David, in turn, hit back with some barbs of his own, at one point telling the press of Plant, "I wouldn't send him cat food if he was starving."
In a new interview that's set to air this week on U.K. digital radio station TeamRock Radio, Coverdale reveals he'd now like to bury the hatchet with Plant. Coverdale explains that the last time he saw Page, he told him, "I'd love to buy Robert a drink," and asked the guitar legend to "offer my sincere regrets for any negative things I've ever said, which were mostly defensive."
David also declares that he holds Plant "in the highest esteem as a human being, as an artist, and I really would like to...buy him a drink, shake hands and say, 'I'm really sorry...Can we be friends again?'"
Coverdale expresses confidence that Page will pass along his message, while also admitting that Plant "might go and tell him to [expletive] himself." Regardless of what Robert's reaction might be, David says, "I don't hold any animosity, just disappointment in myself that I took the bait and ran with some ugly things. Because it's not appropriate for somebody I respect so much."

JerryGarcia.comWarren Haynes has long had a strong connection to The Grateful Dead, having performed with the band's surviving members when they reunited as The Dead and toured and recorded with founding Dead bassist Phil Lesh's side project Phil Lesh & Friends. Now, the Allman Brothers Band guitarist has hit the road as part of a unique tribute to late Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia. The Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration Tour, which kicked off Tuesday in Pittsburgh, features Haynes performing specially arranged versions of Garcia's songs accompanied by different orchestras at each stop.
The trek was sanctioned and curated by Garcia's estate and family, and Haynes tells ABC News Radio that he jumped at the chance to participate in the musical extravaganza when he was asked.
He reveals that when he started compiling a list of songs that would be performed at the shows, he considered material that not only he "would enjoy singing and playing but, most importantly, would really be brought to life in a symphonic way."
Warren also says he contacted Lesh to ask for his help in suggesting people who could help with orchestral arrangements for Garcia's music, noting that Phil was "quite the expert in classical music and symphonic music where I'm just not."
Haynes tells ABC News Radio that he wanted to make sure that the arrangements reflected improvisational and exploratory nature of Garcia and The Grateful Dead.
"I just didn't want to see, like, a normal version of a band with a symphony," he notes. "I thought it's got to be a little bit left of center, it's got to be a little avant garde. So, choosing the arrangers and then working together on the arrangements in a way where a lot of the Grateful Dead philosophy shows up [was important]."
Keeping true to the spirit of Garcia and The Dead, Haynes promises that "the set list won't be the same from show to show…We'll try and vary it to whatever extent we can."
A total of nine dates have been confirmed for the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration Tour, which is scheduled through an August 4 concert in Los Angeles. The next stop takes place Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina, and will feature Haynes accompanied by the North Carolina Symphony.
Here are all of the upcoming dates on the trek, according to JerryGarcia.com/Events:

Timur Emek/ Getty ImagesU2 frontman Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, reportedly had a VIP lunch with first lady Michelle Obama and her daughters on Tuesday at a pub outside Dublin, Ireland.
Bono and Ali were spotted shortly after 1 p.m. local time entering Finnegan's of Dalkey, supposedly one of the couple's favorite restaurant spots in their hometown just south of Dublin.
Moments later, the first family -- minus the president -- arrived to enjoy a final meal of traditional Irish fare before departing for Germany later on in the day.
Mrs. Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha have been taking in the sites on the Emerald Isle while President Obama is busy in G8 Summit meetings in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The first family received a private tour earlier on Tuesday of Wicklow Mountains National Park and the famous monastic sites at Glendalough.
The White House has not commented on the first family’s luncheon.

Facebook.com/JoanJettJoan Jett's Blackheart Records Group label is suing teen retailer Hot Topic for trademark infringement and false advertising over the chain's Blackheart Clothing Co. brand.
The complaint, which was filed last week, notes that Jett and her longtime musical collaborator Kenny Laguna formed the band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and subsequently started their own recording company and called it "Blackheart Records." They applied to register the label's name with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 1984, and the office granted the registration the next year. In 2005, Jett and Laguna also registered "Blackheart Records Group" with the patent and trademark office.
The label is suing the California-based Hot Topic Inc. for trademark infringement, dilution, unfair competition and false advertising in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
A spokeswoman for Hot Topic Inc. released a statement to ABC News saying the company "takes the rights of artists very seriously, and has in fact compensated Ms. Jett over many years in keeping with mutually agreed-upon license agreements for the sale of tee shirts featuring her image."
The statement also notes, "This lawsuit is a surprise to us, and we are confident in our rights to use the Blackheart brand name."
Hot Topic adds that it has 11 different registered trademarks with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office for the use of the Blackheart brand for "retail stores, apparel, lingerie, accessories, cosmetics and more, with some uses going back a decade to 2003."
Hot Topic further claims, "In contrast, Blackheart Records has for years abandoned trademark filings for the use of the Blackheart name on apparel and accessories, and when we contacted them a year ago about acquiring the Blackheart URL, they never indicated a problem with our use."
According to the label's complaint, Hot Topic distributed music and music-related apparel that it bought from Blackheart or its business partners throughout the 1990s. Around February 2010, Hot Topic approached Blackheart to design and distribute merchandise featuring the "Blackheart Family of Marks," which include images featuring "certain design elements -- notably a heart, which is either solid black, black with a white outline, or white with a black outline."
The suit says that "after experimenting with legitimate and illegitimate items that use and/or are sold under the Blackheart Family of Marks, [Hot Topic] commenced their own line of clothing under their own new 'Blackheart' brand," which is described as the "infringing brand."
Blackheart's complaint also says Hot Topic's tagline, "Lingerie for Girls Who Rock & Roll," infringes on the Blackheart brand by invoking the image of Jett, who they say is referred to as "The Queen of Rock N' Roll" and whose best known recording is "I Love Rock N' Roll."
The complaint states that the public has confused Hot Topic's brand with a company affiliated or sponsored by Jett or Blackheart Records.
EltonJohn.comThinking about new digs? Well, if you have enough cash, the French château where Elton John recorded his classic 1972 album Honky Château can now be yours.
According to the European news service AFP, the 18th century Château d'Hérouville, located about 20 miles outside of Paris, has been put up for sale for the bargain price of $1.73 million. That'll get you 30 rooms, a 42,000-acre park, a pool and a tennis court.
French composer Michel Magne built a famous recording studio in the château in 1969, and many top artists recorded there, including John, who dubbed it the "Honky Château." In addition to working on his 1972 studio effort at the mansion, he also traveled to there to record his next two albums, 1973's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player.
In addition, The Bee Gees recorded "Stayin' Alive" and "How Deep Is Your Love" at the château, and Fleetwood Mac made their 1982 album Mirage there as well. Other artists who recorded at the château before it closed in 1985 include David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens and Bad Company.
Elton's Honky Château produced the hits "Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)" and "Honky Cat," as well as the fan favorite "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters."
Photo: James O'MaraJoni Mitchell was at Toronto's Luminato Festival on Sunday to particpate in a rare and in-depth Q&A session, one of several scheduled events focusing on the influential folk/pop/jazz artist at the creative-arts fest. The acclaimed singer/songwriter spoke with New York Times music critic Jon Pareles about a variety of topics, including her childhood struggle with polio and other illnesses, her musical and artistic influences and inspirations, her unique approach to writing and playing music, her painting and much more.
Among the interesting revelations Joni shared during the hour-and-a-half chat was that she once pulled the plug on a proposed film project about her by telling the director that the movie would be "a piece of s**t" because he didn't know enough specifics about her life. A video of the entire interview can be viewed at the Luminato Festival's official YouTube channel.
The festival also is hosting a pair of tribute concerts for Mitchell in honor of her upcoming 70th birthday this November 7. The shows, titled Joni: A Portrait in Song, will take place Tuesday and Wednesday night at Toronto's famed Massey Hall. Mitchell herself will recite a poem she wrote recently that was inspired by early 20th century Canadian painter Emily Carr, with accompaniment from jazz drummer Brian Blade and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. Other musicians scheduled to perform at the concerts include Herbie Hancock, Glen Hansard, Rufus Wainwright and Esperanza Spalding.

Facebook.com/MickJaggerOfficialHere's your chance to own a piece of Mick Jagger. A piece of his famous hairdo, anyway.
The British auction house Bonhams is putting a lock of the Rolling Stones frontman's hair -- dating back to the 1960s -- on the block.
Bonhams' website states that the lock of hair was saved by the grandmother of current owner Chrissie Shrimpton "when Mick and Chrissie were staying at her parents' farm. Apparently, on her grandmother's death, the hair passed to Chrissie's aunt and when she died, the hair was returned to Chrissie by a cousin taking care of personal effects."
Shrimpton, the younger sister of former supermodel Jean Shrimpton, dated Jagger in the mid-'60s.
The lock of hair will be auctioned July 3, and is expected to bring in between $2,300-$3,100.
Proceeds from the sale of the hair will go to Changing Faces, a U.K.-based charity that supports people with disfigurements to the face, hands or body.
ClarenceClemons.comJanuary 11 is now officially Clarence Clemons Day in New Jersey. Governor Chris Christie signed off on the resolution to annually celebrate the day, which is "Big Man's" birthday.
According to the DailyRecord.com, the resolution states, in part: “WHEREAS, During the E Street Band’s legendary live concerts Clarence Clemons’ saxophone solos were highly anticipated and he was always introduced last in the band introductions, to the delight of the concertgoers who greeted his every move with roars of approval."
The act was a labor of love for Christie, who's an avid fan of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band. The resolution was first introduced in 2011 by state Senator Jennifer Beck, a resident of Red Bank, New Jersey, where saxophonist Clemons once owned a music club.
Clemons died on June 18, 2011 at the age of 69 after suffering a stroke.
