He only worked as a skinny drugged out hippy with Page's guitar wailing behind him. As a solo artist he truly was a non event.

Must disagree, Droogie--I saw him solo in 88 in Oakland and he was Mr. Fucking Charismatic Stage Presence. Also, "Pictures At Eleven" was a very fine record. In all fairness to you, though, he is The Most Embarrassing Man In The World. With his goldilocks, bad sweating problem, girlie 'come hither' demeanor, combined with his habit of thrusting his abdomen at the audience, he looked like someone had rubbed that special gel on him and he was waiting for the ultrasound. That and the screeching bird noises he liked to make,.... yeah you're right, he sucks.
