If you haven't had the chance to see JBLZE I highly reccomended it. I saw them last October here is the copy of my review I did for the Tight But Loose site.
October 19th 2010
It was a clear, crisp Tuesday evening in Minneapolis, for the Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience at the historic State Theater. The compact very dedicated crowd were paying their respects to John and Jason. From the opening number of Good Times Bad Times through the encore of Whole Lotta Love (with Theremin) the guys did not disappoint. The music often accompanied film clips of John Bonham as a youth, as well as family clips of John, Jason and Wife/Mother Pat. Jason starts the show narrating about John to the images of the factories and surroundings he had grown accustom as a young man. I attempted to write down the numbers as they were played, but in a rush to my feet for a standing ovation, the pen slipped away, Jason made it very clear that this was a tribute to his Dad and that he and the band members were all fans of Led Zeppelin's music, as were we. On one occasion Jason fought back tears when the applause wouldn't stop as he spoke about his Dad.
The music was fantastic; I imagine John would have been very proud of Jason's abilities, he played splendidly and his choice of musicians to help him make his statement. Tony Cantania was fantastic, hitting every break and guitar solo. Dazed & Confused was dazzling, the violin bow was present for the required sound on the song, but Tony did not over do it, by trying to emulate Jimmy's moves. Jason dedicated "Thank-you", to his fans and to his father John; this was a very emotional, bringing many of us to tears. Michael Devin on bass guitar was mesmerizing along with Stephen LeBlanc on keyboards and rhythm guitar, did Jonsey proud. James Dylan was like the cherry on top, with all his heart he belted out one number after another and by the end of the almost three hour show his voice had become a bit raspy, we didn't care, we were on the road to Kashmir. The set list was as follows:
Good Times Bad Times
Celebration Day
Rock-n-Roll
I Can't Quit You
Black Dog
Since I've Been Loving You
Your Time Is Gonna Come
The Ocean
When The Levee Breaks
Daze and Confused
Over The Hills And Far Away
Moby Dick
Thank-you
The Lemon Song
I'm Gonna Crawl
Stairway To Heaven
Kashmir
Whole Lotta Love

There are some very small SLR's that give very high performance these days, there are also mirrorless cameras with no optical "though the lens" viewfinder but with larger sensor's than compacts without being much bigger.
The Canon 550D/600D and the Nikon D5100 are both around 500g without a lens and have the same sensor as the high end "crop" bodies like the 7D and the D7100 that are much heavier, the main thing you lose out on is lighter build quality and not fewer autofocus points. Any SLR will focus much faster than any compact or mirrorless though, espeically on moving subjects.
The good thing about buying small is that its fairly(by SLR standards) cheap aswell which means you have alot more to spend on lenses that are really what give you image quality and versatility, they also remain top of the range far longer than bodies and hold there value much better. If your after an ultrawide for landscapes(not always the best but good for architecture and making more normal locations seem interesting) and something with a large appature for portraits with shallow depth of field you don't need a big heavy lens either, the Canon 10-22mm weighs 350g and a cheap prime like the Canon 50mm 1.8 weighs 130g.
Another storm that just passed over with the 10-22mm.
I LOVE THIS PHOTO!!!!

Recently caught a bit of 'Ed Gein: The Musical'
Strangely odd, but interesting. Have to get it on DVD to see the rest of it.

Whoa, thanks for that little slice of film hell. It's like a train wreck I couldn't stop watching it. David Lynch like. I have a fascination with serial killers in general. Not because I'm psuchopathic or anything, but interested in the personality of these individuals. I'm a psychologist and work with clients with deviant behavior so I'm ever so interested in what makes these guys tick. Ed Gein of course was schizophrenic which explains his behavior to a degree. There is a more serious film and a documentary on Ed if folks are interested. Given he's the inspiration behind Hitchcock's Psycho and Silence of the Lambs.

I was eleven years old, 1971 and one of best friends older brothers played the first four albums over & over. It was Whole Lotta Love and of course Stairway that first caught my attention; I've been a fan ever since. Since then they have always been my #1, #2 changes frequently with the times from Aerosmith to Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper to Pink Floyd, later to DEVO, The Fall etc. The best thing about growing up in the 70's was the music (certainly not the clothes though I had a pair of killer bell bottoms). When you think about the number of rock bands releasing albums it was crazy. The 60's were great but when it came to hard rock there was nothing like Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper....oh wait Pink Floyd, The Stones, Van Halen etc., etc. After cutting your teeth on music like that the 80's were boring.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I love your site. I'm suprised you don't have Jimmy's book?
-
I am about to read "The Eye in the Triangle- An Interpretation of Aleister Crowley" by Israel Regardie that I picked up in an occult shop in the French Quarter.
Never heard of that title let us know what you think of it. Israel Regardie is widley published on the Golden Dawn which would give the work , in my opinion, more credability.
-
The Crowley Book is good but you need a map given all of the folks mentioned in just the fist 4 chapters. I love Erik Larson, I hope this is as good as Devil in the White City. My last Zep book I read was Tangents Within a Frame Work

Just what the world needs - yet another book on Aleister Crowley! This one is recently published. I am also giving details of another recent publication on the Pre-Raephaelites - Jimmy gets a brief mention on p.531 regarding the Burne-Jones Tapestry 'The Quest For The Holy Grail'. It is written by by Fiona MacCarthy, entitled 'The Last Pre-Raphaelite'.
Aleister Crowley The Biography
Spiritual Revolutionary, Romantic Explorer, Occult Master and Spy
Tobias Churton
The extraordinary life of the notorious mystic Aleister Crowley, packed with previously unpublished information the true adventures of a spiritual thinker, poet, explorer, mountaineer, philosopher, prophet and spy
Aleister Crowley (18751947) was a visionary occultist, a member of the theosophical order of the Golden Dawn. Nicknamed 'The Beast', he was vehemently anti-Christian, and supported the use of drugs and sexual magic as a means to access deeper levels of consciousness.
For 100 years his true achievements have been suppressed, his true character deformed and defaced in a campaign of vilification unparalleled in British history.
Here is the world's first complete, thoroughly researched biography of Aleister Crowley, demolishing the myths, establishing the facts and telling with verve and style the astonishing and exciting story of his life, including many 'missing years', intrigues, discoveries and adventures all revealed and explained for the first time. Crowley's grandson has provided exclusive access to crucial information about his family relationships, and there is a compelling account too of his work as a British spy during World Wars I and II.

This definitive biography of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), the most notorious and controversial spiritual figure of the 20th century, brings together a life of world-shaking 'magick', sexual and psychological experimentation at the outer limits, world-record-beating mountaineering and startling prophetic power - as well as poetry, adventure, espionage, wisdom, excess, and intellectual brilliance. The book reveals the man behind the appalling reputation, demolishing a century of scandalmongering that persuaded the world that Crowley was a black magician, a traitor and a sexual wastrel, addicted to drugs and antisocial posing, rather than the mind-blowing truth that Crowley was a genius as significant as Jung, Freud or Einstein. Churton has enjoyed the full co-operation of the world's Crowley scholars to ensure the accuracy and plausibility of his riveting narrative. The author has also been in contact with Crowley's grandson, who has vouchsafed rare, previously untold accounts of family relationships. The result is an intimate portrait that has never before been shown, and one that has great emotional impact. The book contains the first ever complete investigation of Crowley's astonishing family background - including facts he concealed in his lifetime for fear of social prejudice. Tobias Churton also gives us a detailed account of Crowley's work as a British spy during World War I in Berlin during the early 1930s and during World War II. This information has not been available to any previous biographer.

The Last Pre-Raphaelite: Edward Burne-Jones and the Victorian Imagination
From the prize winning author of William Morris comes a new biography of Edward Burne-Jones, the greatest British artist of the second half of the nineteenth century. The angels on our Christmas cards, the stained glass in our churches, the great paintings in our galleries -- Edward Burne-Jones's work is all around us. The most admired British artist of his generation, he was a leading figure with Oscar Wilde in the aesthetic movement of the 1880s, inventing what became a widespread 'Burne-Jones look'. The bridge between Victorian and modern art, he influenced not just his immediate circle but artists such as Klimt and Picasso. In this gripping book Fiona MacCarthy explores and re-evaluates his art and life -- his battle against vicious public hostility, the romantic susceptibility to female beauty that would inspire his art and ruin his marriage, his ill health and depressive sensibility, the devastating rift with his great friend and collaborator William Morris as their views on art and politics diverged. With new research and fresh historical perspective, The Last Pre-Raphaelite tells the extraordinary, dramatic story of Burne-Jones as an artist, a key figure in Victorian society and a peculiarly captivating man.
I just started reading the Churton book, so far this is very good. Perhaps the first serious work about him from a scholar who knows and understands the importance of getting this right. There has been a great deal of sensational crap written about him so a scholarly work is refreshing. So far I'm not disappointed.

Hello I wanted to join the conversation about Jimmy and Crowley. Those who mentioned his involevement with Thelema are correct. Crowley left the Order of the Golden Dawn after a falling out with some of the leaders and formed his own Hermetic Order of Thelema. If you go the Lashtal - The Aleister Crowley Society web site they have section featuring Jimmy. Aleister Crowley was and is the most recognizable face of Thelema as he is the founder, but there are many more. There is a great deal of overlap with the Golden Dawn so reading this information is helpful in understanding the philosphy. Israel Regardie's work is very accessible. I too beleive in the teaching of Magick and Thelema it is a perspective in which you view the world and your place in it; as well as a working toward spiritual awakening.
"Do what thou will is the whole of the law". In terms of his representation of the Hermit in TSRTS it was an expression of his belief system, a symbol. Thelema and Astrology are very linked and play a major part in the thelemic teachings. The Hermit in the Tarot is also associated with his/our birthdate Jan. 9. It is the 9th card in the Major Arcana. I don't think Jimmy has left thelema behind at all.

Interesting. Thank you for the interview.
As it's seen in a interview of 90's, Jimmy wore a t-shirt with the words "recovering catholic".
This is the link:
I think now he's not so obssesed with occultism as in the past, but I really don't think that the t-shirt means he left it. Catholicism has a part of occultism (though it's supposed to be refused), I know catholic people who believes in tharot and tries to contact with dead people, for instance. Or probably the t-shirt is only a joke.
But, I guess how such a intelligent person like Jimmy could be so involved in those kind of things in that depth. I don't want to be misunderstood, don't want to offend, I respect everyone beliefes, but it's hard to me to believe in magic. Well, I'm the first who has always interested in it, I heard lots of "strange" stories in my family, and stuff like that, but... well, maybe I'm too sceptical.
However I have to admit that if you search, you finally find. If you want to see, you will see. He might wanted to search and see, we don't know why, and he probably finished to find it.
Anyway, I'd like to know more about Jimmy and "his" symbolisms.
Yes, beautiful painting. I love pre-Raphaelites.
It always confuses and intrigues me.
