Jones and his band guitaristbassist Nick Beggs and drummer Terl Bryant will play a couple of Zeppelin songs on the tour besides the bulk of the "Zooma" album, but "not too many," he adds. "We have no singer, of course," he says. But that won't stop fans from singing along to any songs by the huge, influential band, whose work can still be heard daily on U.S. classic rock stations. "We always knew we had a good band," Jones says.

"But obviously nobody could know that 30 years after it started; people would still have whole days of it on the radio. "I heard of Led Zeppelin Month recently on the West Coast." But, Jones adds, "I don't like looking backward. The past is past, and it was great. And I'm very proud of it, but it's of no further interest, to be honest."

"But of all the things I have done in the last 20 years, playing live wasn't one of them," Jones says over the phone from A Terminator robot Jones "His boat starts swinging back and forth, he hits the throttle and lurches the boat forward into the back end of my boat, running up alongside and scraping the side," said Mike Ruh, who rented both boats to CBS for the interview. Trogdon says the crash wasn't his fault. He says the other boat's wake broke the throttle and caused the boat to speed up. "I am just an actor in this scene," he said.

Hollywood Reporter Television Armstrong pedals way to TV movie London. That changed five years ago, when he went out on the road with performance artist Diamanda Galas, whose 1994 album he had produced. Touring for the first time since the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham had ended that band, Jones says he "basically got the bug again." "And always in the back of my mind was to do a solo album, like every musician, I suppose," Jones says.

The Congress did so, striking the first U.S. medals ever awarded and providing each of the three young heroes with $200 a year for life.

New York state gave each man a farm. But in the congressional proceedings Van Wart's name was misspelled as "Van Wert." In 1820, when the Ohio state legislature was creating counties furiously as homesteaders moved into the western part of the state, it named a county "Van Wert." Why the lawmakers settled on Isaac "Van Wert," a New Yorker who apparently never visited Ohio, has been obscured by time. Soon afterward, the City of Van Wert (pop. 1 1,000) was created. Fast-forward to 1987.

Jeff Van Wart was an Army corporal at Fort Devens in Massachusetts. He met a colonel who mentioned he was from Van Wert, Ohio. 1 hat launched Van Wart and his father, Robert, who died two years ago, on their personal crusade. Van Wart said he has written hundreds of letters to officials, from U.S. senators to the most obscure local bureaucrats, beseeching them to do honor to Isaac Van Wart by spelling his name correctly all to no avail.

Sometimes he has been brushed off, as in the two-paragraph letter from Ohio State Sen. Lynn R. Wachtmann last month saying it was up to local "political subdivisions" to change their names. Sometimes he has received no response, as with Ohio's two U.S. senators, Mike DeWine (R) and George V.

Voinovich (R), he said. He contacted Ohio Gov. Bob Taft (R) in August, but has not gotten a response. In 1987, Van Wart's father exchanged correspondence with Van Wert Mayor Stan Agner, who suggested the Van Wart family travel to the city. "He (Robert Van Wart) said when they change the name, we'll come.

It's just very hard for me to believe CHICAGO For more than a decade, Jeffrey Van Wart has tirelessly waged a quixotic but so far fruitless campaign to correct a trivial spelling error transcribed into a declaration by Gen. George Washington over 200 years ago. Little wonder it has been an uphill battle, since his effort would change the name of a fair-sized city in Ohio and plunge it into bureaucratic confusion. Van Wart, 31, a geriatric nurse in Cottonwood, says that for most of his life he didn't even know there was a jurisdiction in Ohio named after his ancestor, Isaac Van Wart. Isaac was a Minuteman in General Washington's Continental Armv.

On Sept. 23, 1780 Isaac Van Wart and two fellow foot soldiers captured British Major John Andre near Tarrytown, N.Y., and uncovered what Washington later called "the villainous perfidy" of Benedict Arnold's treasonous plot to surrender the strategic Hudson River fort at West Point. Andre was hanged as a spy, Arnold escaped to loyalist lines, and that heroes of this caliber are forgotten and misrepresented," the younger Van Wart said. He said it was "comical" that when the local museum put Isaac Van Wart's musket on display in April, a newspaper headline read: "Van Wart's Musket Displayed in Van Wert Museum." The current mayor, Eugene Bagley, did not return repeated telephone calls after his secretary was informed of the nature of the inquiry. But Ava Good, one of three Van Wert County commissioners, said it would be "quite a financial burden" to change the name, even though she thinks Jeff Van Wart is a "great guy" with a legitimate grievance.

"We're all aware how this happened and that Isaac Van Wart captured Major Andre," said Good, who also is vice regent of the Isaac Van Wart Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. "But every birth record, every map, every sign, every property transfer record and part of almost every public record would have to be changed."
