Re: Olympics Ceremony - Jimmy!!!!!!! (just watched it)

[Tim Druck <tcdruck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul McCartney and Elton John are played out, overdone, overexposed and 
too rich and out of touch to be symbols of England anymore...  think 
about it - Jimmy and Led Zeppelin are symbolic of everything typically 
English - Justified and Ancient, authentic, a history shrouded in 
mystery and an uncommon power.  Jimmy was the perfect guy for the job.  
I can't wait for the entire band to explode into TSRTS at the Opening in 
London '12...
