Wither Jimmy Page?

Artists or any craftsmen who do adapt, manage to stay relevant, and hone their crafts into their later years are to be admired. They get "it", whatever "it" is, and they know that "it" seldom stays put for long.

He made money, he did the drugs, he was great, but maybe just is tired and not the drive to keep going, what would he do anyway? All of todays music is garbage. he was in the top 3 bands ever (imho) and what do you do after that?

The sweetness of a blues guitarist, with the genius of someone who did things with the instrument that hadn't been done before.
I'm still in awe of "The Wanton Song" thirty five years later!
When he plays "Since I've Been Loving You" its pure emotion. I saw him ten years ago too. When he played "How Many More Times", it didn't seem to me like he had lost anything. Its not about that though. He's an artist, not an athlete. Its about his body of work.
With Eddie, you're in awe of his hand speed. Same with DiMeola.
With Page, you're in awe of how much pure sound he can get out of the instrument in any given moment.
He's a one man orchestra.

Raising Sand illustrates just how moronic and irrelevant the Grammy Awards have become.

Shame on Robert Plant.

Yuk.

artistry is inspiration, not experience.

i recall hearing a famous director (might have been lucas) tell a class of film students that because they haven't started, and everything was a blank slate, that they were far more likely to make a great film than he was at this time.

and as prior poster affirms, money = comfort, and art needs sharp edges.

it amazes me that tom waits still does it, but then again, if you listen to his lyrics (and his statements about selling songs to corporations), he obviously doesnt care at all about money

an incredible guitarist in his time, which is passed
