Jimmy Page has been awarded one of those honorary degrees.
The University of Surrey has awarded Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page an honorary doctorate for his services to the music industry.
Dr. Page accepted the degree last Friday (June 20) dressed in full academicals and donated a signed guitar that will be given away in a competition at GuilFest later this year.
It’s not Page’s first time on the University’s grounds. Led Zeppelin played their first gig on the grounds on October 25, 1968.
Long way from being the next Brian May but, all the same, good going there, Jimmy Page.
Check out Dr. Page in his “full academicals”.

I like the folks like Brian May and Bill Cosby who have earned doctorates, but still, kudos to Mr. Page.
