2012 London Olympics: Shag-a-delic Baby!
Did I really ust now hear on NPR that they had Jimmy Page on top of a double-decker bus playing Whole Lotta Love!? I’m embarrassed for him.
It had Page, a double-decker bus, the union jack, “bobbies”, umbrellas, Carnaby St. girls…
The only things missing were mop-top wigs, Anthony Newly and the Artful Dodger.
And current UK flavor of the month Leona Lewis singing lead, from atop an insanely tall hydraulic platform! And best of all, Jimmy Page looked exactly like my wife’s great-aunt, the Maryknoll sister who was one of those rescued at the Los Banos raid during World War II.
It was the most freakishly wonderful thing I have ever seen.
I remember a thread about aging gracefully, but has the question of “which aging rocker now looks the most like an elderly woman” been explored yet?
One of the other great comparisons I’ve heard for Page recently is that he turned into the Quaker Oats guy.
Steven Tyler looks like tons of aging Italian women I know.
