...before "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy." He would have remained "forever young," a cool Celtic soul man, the Prince of Plaid. Now look at him...

Fuck that Rod hate. I will not go without "Young Turks," "My Heart Can't Tell You No," "Crazy About Her," "Infatuation," "Broken Arrow" or "Foolish Behaviour."

Has Chris Rock done anything of value since Pootie Tang?

the Bernie Mac scenes in Head of State were pretty righteous.

the video for do ya think im sexy rules. the asian bass player in the jumpsuit and his dance moves. plus there is a glimpse of 70's nipple in it when rod lays the hooker down on the bed. then she tells him she's sorry she's out of milk and coffee. rod doesnt care, he bangs her anyways.

John Lydon

He would be a big nobody to me since "Young Turks" and "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy" are two of the best songs ever.

You want him to have an even shorter life, Nick?

what? what happened to John Lennon?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Didn't you hear? He quit the Beatles!
MCartney's gonna sue!

Prince should have retired to a monastery rather than changing his name and releasing buckets of whatever in 1993.

i don't understand why some people love "young turks" so much. come to think of it, i don't understand why some people love anything done by rod stewart, pre- or post-1976.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

his hair is kinda cool, though.

I've said it before....if Kiss had all perished in a bizarre hovercraft catastrophe just after the release of Love Gun, it would've been a better world.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

i like KISS so much more than i would ever like rod stewart. even their hair.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone gives Rod shit for his "D'ya Think I'm Sexy" period, but fuck it, man, that's what he was into at the time. I've never been a fan of his music, but I sure as shit prefer that cheezily libidinous pseudo-discorock over his mawkish "Forever Young"/"People Get Ready" crap.

He's a funny guy, in any event.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex, that is because it deserves it. It is utter bollocks.

Ideally Rod should have fallen into a coma just before DYTIS, and magically recovered in 1992 to make 'Vag Hearts' but then suffered a fatal relapse before he was allowed to touch Van Morrison's 'Have I Told You Today I Love You'.

As far as I'm concerned, "D'ya Think I'm Sexy" is his best song.

twelve years pass...

So!

col and I will lead a Rod Stewart listening thread that will encompass Atlantic Crossing through Out of Order. Why those albums? The symbolism of the first and the career recovery of the second.

We'll start Labor Day because we will labor for months.
