Poll: My Way or the Highway?
Tuesday August 26, 2008
Some Led Zeppelin fans were upset that Olympics officials required a "family friendly" version of "Whole Lotta Love" before they would allow it to be performed at the closing ceremony.
Ringo Starr refused to perform a song from his most recent album when a syndicated TV show producer ordered it to be substantially shortened.
What do you think? Was Jimmy Page right when he agreed to perform an altered version of a song? Or was Ringo right when he left the building rather than shortening his song? Or is it not a simple yes or no proposition?
Cast your vote and post your comments on the question of whether artists should be required to edit their songs as a condition of performing them?

I enjoyed seeing Jimmy appearing in something like this, however, can anyone convince me that most if not all of this was not mimed?
