All I know is that on her last tour she had a giant pink & black croquet mallet that should be MINE, dammit.
I shudder to think what she did with it.
'Time Bomb'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I do. When those pictures first hit the internets, so many people sent them to me going "Did you see this? Are you asking for one for your birthday?"
But what would you do with it? I mean, it looks more like you'd use it to bop naughty minions on the head.
Wait a sec....

Look, it's not like I've ever TRIED to conceal my clever plans. It's just no one ever believes I'll actually do that stuff. Until it's too late, muah-ha-ha-ha!
My only shame is Rod Stewart. It is a deep and lingering shame. I still enjoy everything else I ever loved.
My musical tastes are much broader and louder than they were in high school when I was a slave to lyrics (and couldn't stand a song with even one lame one) and I thought electric guitars were what you put up with when acoustic guitars were just too soft. I had no love of noise. I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
Early Rod Stewart is AWESOME
I will never not love "Maggie Mae."

We used to listen to that in the car when I was a kid, on one of his albums that got played on long journeys. My mother liked to deconstruct the lyrics:
I'll get on back to school, one of these days... "Ah, that's what you should have done, Rod. You wouldn't have made all this great music, but you would have been well-educated."
As Perkins notes, early Rod is great stuff.
Every Picture Tells A Story is a stone classic: "Mandolin Wind," "Reason to Believe," "I'm Losing You," the title track.
All those first four Mercury albums are loaded with great tracks: "You Wear it Well," "The First Cut is the Deepest," "Gasoline Alley."
