The Elusive, Frustrating, Unappreciated Genius of Rod Stewart
Written by admin on December 9, 2011 – 9:50 am -| Harley Payette discusses the many musical highlights of Rod Stewart’s long career. |
| It seldom fails, I’ll be riding down the road and “Maggie May” will come on the radio and I’ll just be arrested by those final phrases from Rod Stewart. “I’ll get on back home, one of these day-aaays” and that glorious final falsetto howl. “Wooo hoo hooh.” My spine will tingle a bit and I’ll think “Man, that guy used to be a really terrific singer.” Then the old hand wringing will come out, “too bad he didn’t keep it up” or some such. I’m probably not alone in that feeling. The idea that Stewart was one of the people who had it and then lost it is close to pop consensus. It’s almost the Elvis after the army of the next generation. Maybe there’s not a clear demarcation like there was there, but many listeners believe that Rod Stewart at some point, relatively early on, lost “it” in a bid for mainstream stardom, and never quite got “it” back. |  |
