Rod Stewart turns 80 today. 🎂
“At first, I didn’t think much” of the hit single, “Maggie May,” he once said, “because the record company didn’t believe in the song. .. I figured it was best to listen to the guys who ‘knew better.’ What I learned is sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t.”

"What is Rod going to do?"
"Meh, give him a stand up bass to pretend to play. He can also make random hand gestures in the band's direction."

Top notch storytelling
As for Maggie May, great song but not my fave as everyone started calling me Maggie & I objected to the line 'The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age ' ...I was 13 at the time 😁
I believe he's done some singing here and there as well.
I sure Sir Rod doesn't remember this encounter many years ago, but I do.
