Best summary of Rod Stewart’s career ever!

But while Mick may have lost his edge, at least he went back to making music that fits him and his talent (okay, so it’s not the Stones of ’68-’72, but what is?) with some semblance of taste and occasional flashes of the old brilliance. Rod just completely threw it out the window for a big pile of dough and chicks. The stuff Stewart did with the Beck Group, Faces and his early solo stuff – just flat out brilliant. He never lost his pipes, he just destroyed their reason for being.

Amazing how thoroughly he betrayed his talent.

What’s he afraid of? That he’ll realize he likes singing rock’n’roll still?
