I'll Just Carry On Being

I'd Break Out In Hives If I Had To Sing (`stairway To Heaven') In Every Show. I Wrote Those Lyrics And Found That Song To Be Of Some Importance And Consequence In 1971, But 17 Years Later, I Don't Know. It's Just Not For Me. I Sang It At The Atlantic Records Show Because I'm An Old Softie And It Was My Way Of Saying Thank You To Atlantic Because I've Been With Them For 20 Years. But No More Of `stairway To Heaven' For Me.

It's Crucial That I Kind Of Keep Up, Without Drifting Into The Backslapping Land Of Cliche And Lifetime Achievement Awards.

The 50s Were Great Because I Collected Stamps.

I'm Not Interested In Being Known As The Singer From Led Zeppelin.

You Would Find In A Lot Of Zep Stuff That The Riff Was The Juggernaut That Careered Through And I Worked The Lyrics Around This.
