When whispers spread that the band wouldn’t play, guests leaned in — confused, concerned. It was Jimmy Page’s daughter’s wedding, and something felt… unfinished. Then, without a word, Robert Plant stepped forward. No spotlight. No speech. Just him, barefoot in the grass, holding decades of history in his hands. He began to sing “Thank You,” and the world seemed to stop spinning. Jimmy stood frozen, eyes locked on his old bandmate. The bride wept.

He sanctified it. And in that quiet, trembling performance, Led Zeppelin’s soul stirred again — not for a crowd, but for love, for friendship, for family…

The Internet Reacts to Beatles Sons’ Collaboration—And Dhani Harrison’s Totally George Move The sons of the Beatles are making headlines this summer—not for nostalgia, but for something new. In June 2025, Sean Ono Lennon, James McCartney, and Zak Starkey teamed up to release a track called “Rip Off,” a moody, modern rock song that immediately sparked comparisons to their famous fathers. But fans quickly noticed someone missing from this “Beatles 2.0” moment: Dhani Harrison, son of George. And leave it to the internet to do what it does best—turn his absence into a meme-worthy moment of cosmic alignment. “Dhani not showing up is the most George Harrison move possible,” one fan joked on social media. George, the self-described “quiet one,” was famously the first Beatle to mentally check out of the band’s chaos, retreating into spirituality, gardening, and solo artistry. And Dhani’s non-appearance? Let’s just say the apple didn’t fall far from the meditative tree. In fact, Dhani once revealed that he didn’t even know his dad was in the Beatles until classmates chased him on the playground singing “Yellow Submarine.” “Why didn’t you tell me you were in the Beatles?” he asked his father. George’s answer? “Oh, sorry. Probably should have told you that.” Classic George. To be clear, Sean, James, and Zak aren’t just Beatle babies riding coattails—they’re seasoned musicians with their own paths. But the symbolism of three Beatles sons forming a band while the fourth opts out? That irony is just too perfect to ignore.Beatles fans: What do you think—will Dhani eventually join them? Or is staying out exactly what his dad would’ve done?

Joe Walsh telling the story of the transaction… “Jimmy was still playing the Telecasters that he played in the Yardbirds. He was looking for a Les Paul and asked if I knew of any, ’cause he couldn’t find one that he liked. And I had two. So l kept the one I liked the most and I flew with the other one. I laid it on him and said, ‘Try this out.’ He really liked it. So I gave him a really good deal. I had to hand-carry it; I flew there and everything. So whatever my expenses were, that’s what I charged him. But again, I just thought he should have a Les Paul for godsakes!” Jimmy used it to record Zeppelin Il that May. The guitar became and remained his favorite guitar throughout his years with Zeppelin, and as he acquired others, he started referring to it as his number one….

Joe Walsh’s Gift to Rock History: The Les Paul That Became Jimmy Page’s “Number One” Sometimes, the most legendary sounds in rock ‘n’ roll history begin with a simple gesture between friends.
