What is his secret? "Hello darlin' – what you got in that handbag?" is the chat-up line he swears by, apparently. During his relationship with Britt Ekland (she called him "Soddy" and he called her "Poopy", for reasons we are left to guess at) he sent her the following telegram in response to her request for a love-letter: "Tired of pulling me plonker. Please come home." Es la autobiografía del gigante Rod Stewart, va desde los años 40 hasta el 2012 que fue cuando el libro se editó. Pará leerlo en inglés se hace un poco complicado, ya que Rod escribe como habla, con muchas palabras escocesas y con una jerga muy específica a la clase obrera británica por lo que siempre tuve que tener un diccionario a mano Blistein, Jon (19 July 2018).

I have always generally thought of him as a wanker.) But when a friend, who lives in Minneapolis, was feeling down about her city and life in general, I told her to listen to this bit of sunshine. And what the hell, maybe I should too. And in rereading my review from 2013, I couldn't really say it better, so here it is:

Rod Stewart – Social Media By the early 1990s, Stewart had mostly abandoned creating his own material, saying that he was not a natural songwriter and that the tepid response to his recent efforts was not rewarding. [99] In 1995, Stewart released A Spanner in the Works containing a single written by Tom Petty, " Leave Virginia Alone", which reached the Top 10 of the adult contemporary charts. The latter half of the 1990s was not as commercially successful though the 1996 album If We Fall in Love Tonight reached number 8 in the UK and went gold and hit No. 19 on the Billboard album chart.

That said, this book comes recommended. It's way more interesting than many autobiographies mostly because Rod started singing very young and was around for exciting times with exciting people. Lots of good stuff in here.

Rod also spends a lot of his book talking about his various passions. While I am not into his hobbies of model trains & football & cars, I appreciate other people's passions. What is interesting in another person is their love & passion for something. It would be boring to only be around people with similar interests - I like hearing about things I don't know about and hearing about why a person likes something. I googled Rod after reading this book & came across a video of him weeping a few months ago after his beloved football won some big game. Awww. He really loves football. His chapter on collecting art was pleasant to read. I'm not into the period of art he collects but I respect that he immerses himself into learning about it & collecting it & about the joy art gives him. Stewart comes from a modest family that appeared to be lower middle class. Yet, when his career takes off, he makes no mention of his family's reaction. Did he help them out financially? Were they happy for him? Were they envious? None of this is ever talked about. Aside from mentioning his brothers and father in the context of football, we learn nothing about their relationship.
