cwsox Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 We're going to see him the 20th.. anyone seen him in concert before? Any good? if I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that its all true knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried still I'd look to find a reason to believe when he sings that, think of me - that song hs more resonence in my life than I care to ever admit - I would love to hear him sing that once for all the times that has been in my life metallisox, I am rather elderly myself but I will one day laugh knowing that you have gotten as old as Rod Stewart is now and if you can still move let along perform then, more power to you!

Since when? Oh yeah, in this superficial soulless MTV culture, 30 is pension age.... My great-gramma, bless her heart, just turned 98 (same age as the brilliant folk dance choreographer Igor Moiseev)-- now THAT's old. As far as laughing at him, you don't have to wait-- you can do it now knowing he is probably braindead and doomed for life of heart-wrenching failure and toil. Then again, there is nothing even remotely funny about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 He may be 50, but he looks much older than that. He strikes me as a Tony Bennett style of crooner now - would that be fair to say? My wife kinda likes him, but aside from a couple of songs ( Downtown Train and My Heart Can't Tell You No - an absolutely great song ) I've never been much of a fan. I hope you have a GREAT time, Steff, and I hope he's in as fine a voice as he can muster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I have seen him a couple times since the 70's and enjoyed each show. Tonight's the Night, Georgie Boy, Reason to Believe, we played Forever Young at my son's Christening, and a bunch of others are very meaningful to me. He also did a nice remake of Van Morrison's Have I Told You Lately. Van Morrison's version got me through a particularly rough stretch of my life. Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do Oh the morning sun in all its glory Greets the day with hope and comfort too And you fill my life with laughter You can make it better Ease my troubles that's what you do There's a love that's divine And it's yours and it's mine Like the sun at the end of the day We should give thanks and pray to the One Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do There's a love that's divine And it's yours and it's mine And it shines like the sun At the end of the day we will give thanks And pray to the One Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do Take away my sadness Fill my life with gladness Ease my troubles that's what you do Fill my life with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles that's what you do Steff, have a great time. Rod has reinvented himself several times, from his Do you think I'm Sexy days to love song crooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggio202 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 his stuff with jeff beck (white boy blues) was awesome remember maggie may??...that was his biggest hit while he still sang in a bluesy voice before going disco :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thanks for the replies guys... and for the tease Bri.. Jim's never seen him before so this is his deal. I like some of his music so I'm sure it'll be a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 He strikes me as a Tony Bennett style of crooner now - would that be fair to say? T-Ben has a good voice. Rod Stewart has a solid-but-memorable one. Their genres and styles are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Their genres and styles are different. Not since Rod the not-so Mod's "Great American Songooks 1 & 2" have come out. Gimme "Hot Legs" and a shot of vit-a-min E, or some old Faces stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 every picture tells a story, don't it? WHAT A GREAT ALBUM!! That's why, with the exception of a song here and there, some of the Stewart stuff from the last 2 decades has left me cold. I guess it's way of singing his age, aging gracefully, or whatever. But Joe Cocker made the transition better, and some old songsters like Van Morrison never went that way (he got his suck out of the way in the 80s I guess). I think the last several Van albums since maybe Too Long in Exile have been really strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 As graceful a transition as, say, Tina Turner or AC/DC? I'd never use AC/DC (young, old, or otherwise) and the word 'graceful' in the same sentence. Wherever in the human genome the AC/DC-liking gene resides, I'm fairly certain I was born without it. I can count the AC/DC songs I like on one hand and have at least 3 fingers left over. Tina Turner aged gracefully for a long, long time. I had always heard it was her "hot legs" Rod was singing about, and seeing her as the Acid Queen in "Tommy" as a pre-pubescent kid definately gave me a strange but pleasant tingling. But to all good things an end must come. About 10 years or so, the Dorian Gray-model painting of her in the closet that kept getting older must have been bunrd in a fire, because she is showing her age now. Leading the pack of those who did noot age gracefully... I saw some of that Blondie reunion a couple years ago. Debbie Harry is looking rough, boyo.

Debbie Harry is looking rough, boyo. You know who ages well? That Asian toots on ER, Yang Ma or some such-- she is almost 40. So is Stacey Dash of Clueless. Agnus Young has aged gracefully I thought. Funny you should mention Debbie Harry. I saw Videodrome (good movie, btw) maybe a year back or so. And there was this HOTASS broad I couldn't quite put my finger on.....

How about Christopher Lee? I'd have gone with Lee's Hammer Films counterpart Peter Cushing if he was still alive. Lee's probablt too old now, maybe 20 years ago or so.
