Rod: The Autobiography

Product Information

Rod is known for being something of a philanderer and womanizer -- something he regretfully cops to in Rod. While I will agree with him that he behaved quite despicably to many of his girlfriends over the years, reading his book gave me more of an understanding of his actions -- he was quite simply in love with being in love!

Former library book; may include library markings. Used book that is in excellent condition. May show signs of wear or have minor defects. I started this memoir immediately after finishing Pete Townshend's memoir and while reading I kept comparing it to Pete's book. I feel like I should write a term paper comparing and contrasting the two men. Both born in 1945 in England, went to the same clubs as teens, knew a lot of the same people, recorded at the same studios etc. However, the men are different as night and day. Pete is by far a better musician, a better songwriter and much cleverer than Rod. Also Pete is by far a bigger wanker. Rod is infinitely more pleasant to read than Pete. Rod is a hoot. Really funny. Loads of stories. I bet he is a lot of fun at a party. Pete Townshend takes himself soooo seriously that it was a relief to read a memoir where the person was able to poke fun at themselves. Lots of laughs about Rod's clothes and hair.

In reference to his divorces, Stewart was once quoted as saying, "Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house." [182] Thankfully Rod didn't spend eons on his childhood - a pet peeve of mine when reading memoirs. Only very very rarely does someone's childhood and family history warrant more than a few chapters. Rod establishes that he had a regular, happy childhood. Admits he was a bit spoiled. Then after a few chapters he moves onto his teenage years and his beginnings on the music scene and then the fame & fortune.

I decided to read Rod Stewart's autobiography after seeing him on a television talk show and the book was everything I expected, girls, drink, music, football and more girls. Lots of bawdy tales from this 70 year old pop star who has never really grown up. He still loves his football and women but also model railways which was a surprise to me. It doesn't really go with the rest of his image.

Ever since then, I will ALWAYS recommend the audio to anyone and everyone because it was just SO DAMNED GOOD. (Trust me, I am not necessarily a fan. I have always generally thought of him as a wanker.) But when a friend, who lives in Minneapolis, was feeling down about her city and life in general, I told her to listen to this bit of sunshine. And what the hell, maybe I should too. And in rereading my review from 2013, I couldn't really say it better, so here it is:
