At the moment Rod is out on tour and visit Sweden for two shows, Stockholm and Malmö. I was at the show in Stockholm. What i could tell about the show that is Rod is in a very good shape and he still has his voice and his charisma, Rod is still very fancy about blonde girls...hehe. See below for the rest of the tour.
So for today we have a classic tune "Maggie May". It is a song written by singer Rod Stewart and Martin Quittenton and recorded by Stewart in 1971 for his album Every Picture Tells a Story. "Maggie May" expresses the ambivalence and contradictory emotions of a young man involved in a relationship with an older woman, and was written from Stewart's own experience. In a issue of Q magazine, Stewart recalled: "Maggie May was more or less a true story, about the first woman I had sex with, at the Beaulieu Jazz Festival." Todays video is with Faces back in 1971, Enjoy!
