SunChild Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Congratulations to Dr. Page! And people thought he dressed oddly in the 70s... Plus, it was on the Solstice, how appropriate!

zeptangerine Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Paging Dr. Page! Doctorate of what, Riffology? Has he discovered the lost chord? God, I never thought I'd see the day he'd go from wearing Saturn's rings wrapped around his ass to wearing a University cap and gown. There's nothing left for him to do now... except go on tour with his mates, one last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxie Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Go Jimmy go! Sorry, was listening to NFBM live, and I believe Mr.Plant just said the same thing. But I feel it's appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
