Quotes about Jimmy Page

When I first joined the group, I didn't know Jimmy, and I felt a bit shy. He was the big star, and had been around for ages with The Yardbirds.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul

When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
