Jimmy Page, guitar rock god, is 69 today. Page began his career as a studio session musician in London and by the mid-1960s he had become the most sought-after session guitarist in the UK. He was a member of The Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968, but he ultimately achieved worldwide fame as the founder, lead guitarist, and producer of Led Zeppelin beginning in late 1968. Allmusic states that "just about every rock guitarist from the late '60s/early '70s to the present day has been influenced by Page's work with Led Zeppelin".
"And Joan Baez means more to me than 100 of these singers around today. She’s more powerful. That’s what we’re looking for. That’s what we respond to. She always had it and always will, power for the species, not just for a select group." ~Bob Dylan (to Neil Hickey, Sept. 1976)
“I’ve never had a humble opinion. If you’ve got an opinion, why be humble about it?” #8213; Joan Baez
"I went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace; I was trying to disturb the war." ~Joan Baez (Pop Chronicles interview – 1967)
