Interesting that this book ("Led Zeppelin: Shadows Taller Than Our Souls" by Charles R. Cross) describes Jimmy as having a "feminine mystique". Kudos to you, Mr. Cross. You get it.

Jimmy Page: 1969 interview

Page is, although he chooses not to believe it, the motivating force behind the group. His shy, almost anemic countenance belies the fire in his eyes. Tall, thin, Page spoke with a voice so inaudible that it is an obvious paradox to his music.

He said the arrangements are his, most of the songs are his and the frustration communicated is truly his.

“I am a mediocre guitarist at best,” he said. “There are others so much more capable than I. No. I really don’t like being thought of as a star. This movie star thing,” he continued, “I don’t feel it is a part of pop.” (An $8 thousand investment by Atlantic records in “Zepplin” reveals the falsity of this feeling.)

Page lives under the psychological shadow of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce and other great rock artists. His talent is obviously his pride, yet his shaky ego tells him that his guitar is worthless. He reeks frustration. Nervous hands grasp at invisible straws, his eyes duck behind his answers but suddenly from nowhere will come his bold laugh.

If a question is asked, Page’s answer is usually to avoid the question or to answer it in the words of others.

I asked which is the best group now playing. Page: “Well, you’re in a better position to answer that.”

What would you like people to draw from you in terms of image, I asked. Page: “I wish they wouldn’t.”

Sensitive to critical disapproval, Page’s shrewdness of defense and humility of person indicated his belief in his essential inferiority feelings.

This contrasted with the image he develops with his audience makes Page even more fascinating. The causes of his desperation may vary but the skinny white “heavy” and his audience communicate. The joy of release (freedom) thus becomes the pleasure of his music.

If “Led Zepplin” is not what you need, Page can be found dealing guitar elsewhere. Once a member of “The Yardbirds,” his guitar provided much of the backing track for the movie, “Blow Up.”

A&M’s new Joe Cocker L.P. “With A Little Help From My Friends,” features Page’s guitar along with Stevie Windwood’s organ and is nothing short of great.

Page doesn’t feel capable of discussing society but he had comments on the difference between England and America. This country could learn a lot from England’s economic downfall, he feels.

“It was the dependence on military materialism which destroyed England.” he said. “and it will destroy America.”

The repression of both left and right in this country frightens him. “Men should allow each other all the freedom he can within the framework of society,” he said. “America could save the world but the ‘White man’s burden’ concept is lost in the childishness of self-interest.”

The key to Page as a man can be found in his answer to a question: Do you love life?

Page: “I really don’t know.”

People, however, will have the good fortune of enjoying his music for a long time to come. The significant fact about English groups seems to be their unusual staying power.

Although he intends to give up music for painting some day, we can hope that Jimmy Page and his music will stand the strains of his mind and times.
