Stairway to Heaven
Stairway to Heaven
“Robert had a love of traveling and exotic places. He wanted to see everything, everywhere. If he wasn’t going to do it with the band, he wanted to do it on his own. But Led Zeppelin provided him with the perfect opportunity to globe-trot.
Jimmy was possessed with the same kind of wanderlust. Unlike Robert, he had the advantage of having no family ties to keep him close to home. In particular, Jimmy was attracted to the Far East, thanks to his increasing fascination with Eastern philosophy and t...he mystics. He wanted to suck up some of that Eastern culture firsthand and introduce the countries to rock and roll at the same time.
John Bonham and John Paul Jones were not as enamored with the prospect of traveling. They were much more comfortable as homebodies, content to spend time with their families rather than deal with airports and hotels. In fact, when you’d mention their families to them, the softer side of both Bonzo and Jonesy would surface. Particularly with Bonzo, that surprised a lot of people.MoreLess
