Very surprising that the word 'heroin' was used in connection with Jimmy, 
not once, but twice, and it was still approved for broadcast.

The Page interview was done almost certainly in '90, to promote the first 
box set.  Some of the same quotes were used in MTV's Rockumentary (narrated 
by the esteemed Kurt Pant-Loder).  For instance, that whole bit about 
Countess Von Zeppelin's reaction to the first LP cover was in the 
Rockumentary.

JPJ's interview looked brand new to me.  I loved that story about Bonzo 
driving his new Trans Am 90 mph down Sunset Strip, being stopped by the 
police, and not even getting a ticket!
