Rod Stewart

I'm bored today, listening to music. And I've realized that some of my favorite music now is the old songs of the 30's and 40's that Rod Stewart covered in his Great American Songbook...what was that 10 years ago or something he recorded that. Damn that guy can sing. Never liked him back in the 70's and 80's when he was popular, but now when he does the old standards the guy is awesome. And can you believe I had never heard the song "I Don't Want to Talk About It" in all these years until I heard him do it on that recent album. Damn, some great music.
I must be getting to be a old fart.
Anyway it turns out his real love is model trains. The guy is a fanatic with model trains, and has some insane layout that's been in railroad magazines. Cool, I used to be into that. And he also had one of the great lines: "Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house."
Guy's pushing freaking 70 years old, and still doing his thing. Always hanging with gorgeous blonde wimmenz.

He has just told reporters "I've put my last banana in my last fruit bowl"
But I'll never get the urban legend out of my head that he orally serviced an entire ship of sailors in a San Diego bar and had to have a quart of semen pumped from his stomach. Blech!
I guess I am a fan of unique voices. I like Rod Stewart and Bob Dylan, neither who would be considered a technically proficient singer. Many thought Jim Morrison from the Doors was not a good singer. But I thought he had a great voice.
Anyway, I did some checking, and apparently that story was made up by an ex-publicist of Stewart's after he was fired. So I feel better now.
And I could never stand "Maggie May". I dunno, most people love it, but not me.

Getting to be? Bit of an understatement. This just doned on you?
Somebody else"
favorite Stewart lyric
I went to a Simple Minds concert once, they were outdone by The Stranglers before them. You guys may not have heard of either group though?
