"It Might Get Loud" riffs on three guitar greats
On Jan. 28, 2008, three guys got together to talk about guitars. While it happens every day all over the world, this meeting was different. The three men were The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White, and that meeting was captured on film by "An Inconvenient Truth" director Davis Guggenheim. The resulting picture, "It Might Get Loud," arrives in Milwaukee this month.

With all due respect to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, we're not claiming to have discovered Led Zeppelin this week. We do, however, recommend a great book about the iconic band. We also talk about a tasty and healthy snack, a delicious (and probably unhealthy) fast-food treat, a great firewood delivery service, a versatile vehicle and an exciting event slated for Saturday on the Milwaukee River.

An unexpected duo turns Grammys upside down
Long after I began to ignore the Grammys, which usually eschews quality music in favor commercial success, I awoke this morning to hear that Alison Krauss and Robert Plant swept the place clean last night.

Meeting Jimmy Page in West Allis
This morning I spent some time with Bruce Cole, and he told me about his experiences meeting Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton when one of his bands opened for Cream at The Scene Downtown in the late `60s and then he briefly met Jimmy Page in 1969 in West Allis.
