Plant Life is a newsletter that offers information and background on Robert Plant’s solo career. By adding Plant Life to your Robert Plant collection, you will build a compendium of facts and information to refer to again and again.

Plant Life is designed to compliment the Manic Nirvana website. While the website will provide the up to the minute news on Robert’s musical offerings, Plant Life will add to the story with historical data, background information, and explainations.

Over the years in interviews, Robert has mentioned a cavalcade of characters in his musical background. Plant Life focuses on these influential subjects and tries to show how they directly relate to Robert’s music.

Plant Life is a quarterly publication, sent out at the beginning of January, April, July and October.

Not everyone likes to read articles online, and the online format is sometimes restrictive on the depth of articles. Plant Life is portable: you can read about Robert even when you’re away from the computer.

Plant Life is a companion publication of the Manic Nirvana website. The same respect for Robert and his private life will carry over into the Plant Life newsletter.

Who gets the money?

The newsletter is written and produced by volunteer labor, so costs include only paper, envelopes, ink and postage.
