Left: JIMMY PAGE when he was with the YARDBIRDS. Right: JIMMY PAGE when he was with LED ZEPPELIN. Does this look like a "here's your brain not on drugs; here's your brain on drugs" commercial? NOTE: I still think their name is a rip-off of IRON BUTTERFLY who, on one of their albums, described themselves as "something heavy and something light" way before Led Zeppelin was around.

NOTE: I read in the paper today (8/20/00) that Page is doing a CD with the COUNTING CROWS and touring with them. I find this very disturbing because the Counting Crows are about as creative as a refrigerator mold.

"Perhaps we could do 'Stairway' on a dance mix! That'd be good fun. Nobody'd get married to it anymore. In fact, all the people who got married to it are probably divorced now." ROBERT PLANT "Even the ones who wrote it are divorced." JIMMY PAGE

ROCK WITH YOU, MICHAEL JACKSON (1979) (Rock with your chimp, Bubbles, 'cause you ain't rockin' with me!) MY TOP 100 SONGS: STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, LED ZEPPELIN (Yeah, I'm tired of hearing it, too, but it was a great song.)
