John nominated Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (Led Zep) as one of the greatest songwriters of all time in the latest edition of Q Magazine. Here’s what John said…

“To me, the songs that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have given us are more like communications for the gods than songs written by human beings. The richness and depth in their music is endless.”

BOSTON — A little rain couldn’t dampen the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band completely rocked Wednesday night in a concert sponsored by The Creative Coalition and the Recording Industry Association of America — easily the biggest and best party so far during the Democratic National Convention.

While everyone else in attendance had the upcoming presidential election in mind, the Los Angeles-based band made only a couple of vague political statements.

“The next four years in this country can be a more peaceful world,” said bassist Flea, typically shirtless and sinewy on a stage erected outside the upscale Louis Boston clothing store.

“Do what you gotta do,” lead singer Anthony Kiedis said at the end of the band’s set. No matter — the Chili Peppers let their music speak for them, and the coat-and-tied crowd responded, despite an intermittent drizzle.

Actor and director Tony Goldwyn, co-president of The Creative Coalition — a political advocacy group made up of members of the entertainment industry — said the Red Hot Chili Peppers were a natural choice for the show “because they’re fantastic, and everybody wants to come see them and we love their music.”

The foursome played mostly new songs — including “Scar Tissue,” “By the Way” and “Californication” — but they finished off the night with their best-known hit from the early ’90s, “Give It Away.”
