I didn't really get to Led Zeppelin until I was in my 20s.

Paul McCartney's dad told him that when he was a kid. "Son, play the piano and when you go to parties, the girls will come to you."

I walked away a little disheartened, thinking, 'Oh well. I came a long way to meet the Wizard of Oz, but I guess I won't. Such is life.
