IT'S a diplomatic failure at the highest level: Bill Clinton couldn't get Led Zeppelin to reunite.

The US 60 Minutes has reported that the former president was enlisted to ask the British rock gods to get back together last year for the Superstorm Sandy benefit concert in New York City. He asked, they said no.

David Saltzman of the Robin Hood Foundation says he and film executive Harvey Weinstein flew to Washington to ask Mr 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 to receive an honour at the Kennedy Centre.

4. He got Nirvana to reunite. I'll take that.

Word from the show: Paul McCartney knew he would be singing with "his friend from the Foo Fighters" but felt like he and the drummer got along surprisingly well. "Have you two played together?" Paul's personal assistant stepped over and whispered, "That's Nirvana. You're Kurt. Break a leg, sir." And that part of the concert started.

It's probably not true, but I hope it is.

5. "Stairway to Heaven" would hang over the thing

it woul be uncomfortable, I think.
