Am listening to Rod Stewart’s new album Time. After meandering around America’s songbooks for too long, Rocking Rod is back. He’s written a new album based on his life … and he tells our story (we are contemporaries!!) brilliantly. Nostalgia, some regret, pain but overlaid with dreams, hope and optimism. Brighton Beach takes me back to being a teenager in the late 60’s “a scruffy beat up working class teenage troubador … and you were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen.” Then 35 years on to our whole world falling apart … “It’s Over …” raw and real … And then a new Maggie May for all of us. The ultimate summer anthem for us oldies “Can’t stop me now, the world is waiting.” Bring it on.
