Some things never change - songs are too long, lyrics are too sexy. Who are these Olympics officials, anyway - just the Chinese or some other p.c. bureaucrats?

Maybe Page should get Lewis to fill in on vocals for the imaginary tour that seems to be evaporating (and will if Plant gets his wish).

Anyway, if Lewis is afriad that the lyrics of "Whole Lotta Love" don't reflect a woman's persepective... then maybe she can just change them istead of editing them out. Ya sure, why not...

Instead of ...

"I'm gonna give you every inch of my love"

She can just say...

"Cmon n give every inch of your love baby"

And...

"I can handle every inch of your love baby"

Or she can even say...

"Your love is huge baby" "humongous love" "foot long love"

That way she would be singing from a woman's perspective.

Of course, she wouldn't have to change the lyrics if she... well, maybe I better not say that... I wouldn't want to offend the olyimpic committee or China; after all, we all know where they stand on (((women's rights)))???

As for Leona Lewis, the talent show winner ... I'm sure she has earned her right to be there and I sincerely hope she has a great performance (today) and my best wishes go out to her and her awesome gig with the Riff Master ... Mr. Jimmy Page.

Look ... who really cares how long the song is... Jimmy can break out with the bow and his Les Paul and feed that lightening rod synthesizer for as long as he wants and I hope he stops the whole damn show...

Besides, the good folks in China really need to get exposed to some good old nasty Rock n Roll lyrics and some wicked ass guitar from the Western world and hopefully they get infected with the virus that causes freedom and it spreads like Angelina Jolie ... Pandemic Heavy Metalitis!

Oh, and just to clear things up... I mean no disrespect to Angelina, she's a stunning woman and the pun was made in reference to her "posing" and not in any way made in reference to her "availability."
