Ok I confess: I watched the Olympic closing ceremony only to see Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. And not just Jimmy Page, but Jimmy Page playing guitar for Leona Lewis to sing Led Zep's "Whole Lotta Love"! The mind boggled so much that I just had to watch.

I'm so glad that I did. The opening choreography was wonderful (though whenever the cameras panned to eye level, I wished we could watch 'from above' to get the full effect). All in all the ceremony was on a par with the opening ceremony - well drilled, heart-warming and wonderful to behold. The only thing I'd have changed was that the sound wasn't up to hearing Leona's voice and Jimmy's guitar in all the genius of each!

Bye, Beijing 2008, and thank you and God bless! It's been a blast!
