Thanks Alice, very interesting interview. What strikes me is that, for a guy so private and usually prudent, he could also be (by his own admission) very naive, and as a result has been screwed big time by bad people. I am also thinking here about the various things stolen by people he invited to his home. And he is somehow lucky he had his wildest period in the 70s: nowadays with cameras-equipped cell phones, YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter etc... whatever he did back then would be all other the place and, even as a big fan, it's stuff that I would not necessarily want to know about!

Thanks. I liked the "Charolette"! Amazing that the journalist dared to ask such personal questions to Jimmy so bluntly. It looks more like a police questioning than a press interview! Frankly in his position I would have showed him or her the exit door fast...

maybe he meant he was going through a divorce... with his own country?!

sorry I have an ebook version so pagination is probably different than on the paper one. and you're both right: there is a direct quote in what is clearly a dialog, and a paraphrase on the same topic (a few pages before)

Well, it is presented as a quote from Jimmy himself, that's the point I found odd. (excerpt from p147) "The Earl's Court show in particular hit home. I'd just gone through a divorce and that was the last show of the 1975 tour. I remember I decided to travel, because there was nothing really keeping me home. Shortly after that, Robert had his accident..."

Thanks for your quick answer. It was certainly a mistake then. I've just found another thread in this forum mentioning it as well.

Sorry I'm new here and not sure this is the right thread. in Tolinski's book it is mentioned that J.Page was going through a divorce around 1974 or 1975. I thought that statement very surprising since he was not supposed to be married then. Is it just a mistake?
