Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Leona Lewis, a singer popular with young people.  :old:   :-)
I mainly posted it for Jimmy's contribution.

That was pretty awesome! Of course, anything with Jimmy Page in it is cool. Who was the singer? (Nevermind) I only recognized Beckham cause he kicked a freakin' soccer ball.
My only complaint: Why couldn't the Frogs shut up during Jimmy's solo?

Holy CRAP, Jimmy Page looks bad.  I guess he stopped coloring his hair.

It was okay.  Negative points for using "Whole Lotta Love" for the millionth time.

They ruined that song! Page is the only redeeming quality. I'm sorry but that's a song to be sung be a guy.

Heck, just Jimmy playing would have sufficed. I HATE celebrity smash ups like that. They do it at the Super Bowl too.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
