Tennessee To Consider Cutting Off Federal Government Funding For Education

 

Tennessee lawmakers are looking at rejecting federal dollars for public education and replacing them with state dollars in a move that would make Tennessee the first in the nation to turn down federal education funding.

 

Republican leadership in the state announced the formation of a panel to look at the impact of federal education funding in Tennessee and the โ€œstringsโ€ that can come attached with that funding.

 

โ€œAny time the federal government sends money, there are always strings attached to those dollars, and there is always a possibility that it opens the state up to other regulations or restrictions,โ€ said Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton. โ€œThis working group will help provide a clearer picture of how much autonomy Tennessee truly has in educating our students.โ€

In June 1972, while Led Zeppelin were in Los Angeles for their 1972 North American tour, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, who was 28 at the time, began a relationship with 13-year-old Mattix. Mattix claims the relationship began by her being "basically kidnapped" by Led Zeppelin's tour manager Richard Cole and brought to Page's hotel room. According to Rolling Stone, Page went to great lengths to keep the relationship a secret due to it being illegal and statutory rape.

 

At the insistence of Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter Grant, Mattix was kept in a locked hotel room with a security guard at the door during the band's subsequent U.S. touring. Mattix did not travel with Led Zeppelin while they were on tour, but she claimed Page stationed himself in Los Angeles and would frequently fly back there to see her between concerts in the band's private jet, The Starship; and, whenever Page returned to England, Mattix says he called her every day.

 

Their relationship lasted for more than two years, ending in 1975. Mattix claimed she ended the relationship when she was 16 years old after finding Page in bed with Bebe Buell. Buell gave an alternate version of these events, claiming that despite the fact that Mattix "had given herself exclusively to Jimmy (Page) from age 14 to 16," she was barred by Page's security from seeing him once he began dating Buell.

 

Lori Mattix is said by Led Zeppelin biographers to have been referenced by the band in the song "Sick Again", specifically with the lyrics:

 

One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen

Painted lady in the city of lies

 

However, Robert Plant has said that he wrote the song in general about the many underaged groupies with whom the band were acquainted on their 1973 US Tour.
