Re: Roger's view on Zeppelin

It's interesting that you mention Hendrix and I agree with you all the way.
I think Pete and Jimi had a friendly rival.  I may be wrong but didn't they
have the same promoter that often billed them together?  I heard something
humerous the other day.  Apparently Jimi was once asked by a reporter how it
felt to be the best guitarist in the world.  Jimi replied, "I don't know,
you'll have to ask Neil Young."  ....interesting.
