ah yes, a glam rocker from the 70s who didnt get a higher regard as David Bowie or Marc Bolan's T Rex. Rod often felt aggrieved thinking that David Bowie's music was deep and intellectual while the stuff he was making was seen to be merely 'fluff', which it was

Here he is in the same picture as David Bowie

Anyway Rod Stewart's best known stuff in the 80s revolved around covers, such as Downtown Train, which was a Tom Waits song

Admittedly the man did age very well



Here is his best known song

A lot of his covers were excellent.

I've seen him in concert twice. The man has more energy than I do.

The first time was a full rock concert. The second time was half rock concert and half of those standards he was doing.

I think he looks younger myself. I hope I look like that at 72.

He and David Bowie didnt get along, then again David Bowie had the tendency to rub people the wrong way, otherwise he wouldnt have been David Bowie

Anyway this article regarding Rod's reaction to David Bowie's death really ruffled Rod's feathers

This was David Bowie with Mick Ronson, Rod's doppelgänger during the glam rock era

Rod sure had some interesting looks over the years.

Wow, that was an interesting article. I never knew that about them.

One of Rod's sons, the one he had with Rachel Hunter, has played hockey here for some years. I believe Rachel even has an apartment on the river close to the arena where they play. I believe Rod comes to town to watch him play now and then as well.

The 1990s were really the pits in terms of music creativity

Case in point, a forgettable dance act decided to remix Do You Think Im Sexy when the original still held up by itself, along with the Bee Gees's Staying Alive

The 1990s, a time when history took a toilet break
