Re: Jimmy going back to China?!

The ultimate businessman.  China is the fast-emerging global super-economy.  If 
he can turn just a small portion into Zepheads, he stands to make a fortune.  
The only potential downside is that it's also the piracy capital of the world, 
so I'm not sure how many would be prepared to pay money for their Zep music.
