I don’t think anyone can really know much it hit Jimmy.
And everyone has a different temperament. Robert and JPJ looked to the future. Jimmy looks to the past. Nothing wrong with that.
Let’s not forget, Jimmy (in my opinion) was the talisman of Zeppelin. The pressure on him to produce something other-worldly since the demise of Zeppelin must have been an insurmountable task. And this is for a guy who was renowned for near debilitating stage fright.
I’m very happy with what he has given us. I was way too young to see Zeppelin (born in ‘74), but I did see P and P.
The music of Zeppelin was an untold joy to discover when I was 13. And it still inspires me today. It’s the reason I picked up a guitar at the age of 42.
What the fuck more could I ask for?
