Hey, Lit Listeners. Rock is Lit is turning up the volume for a very special episode celebrating the 80th birthday of one of the greatest guitarists in rock ‘n roll history, Jimmy Page! Join us in a musical journey as we revisit some of the finest moments from our Zep-related past episodes, featuring Led Zeppelin historian and super fan as well as the Zep fan magazine 'Tight But Loose' founder and editor, Dave Lewis. We've also got the inside scoop from Led Zeppelin's former PR maestro and Vice President of Swan Song Records, Danny Goldberg; and the one and only Jim McCarty, The Yardbirds drummer and Jimmy's former bandmate.

For me, Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin have been more than just musical influences—they've been the soundtrack to my life and the inspiration behind my 2021 novel, 'Searching for Jimmy Page.' As a writer, their impact on my creative journey is immeasurable. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to the man and the band that have woven their way into the fabric of my existence.

So, buckle up as we delve into the archives, sharing anecdotes and stories that define the magic of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. Afterward, I encourage you to check out the full episodes featuring Dave Lewis, Danny Goldberg, and Jim McCarty. There are so many more Zeppelin tales they tell in those long-form interviews. And if you’re interested in learning more about my novel, ‘Searching for Jimmy Page’, tool on over to my website.
