Forever Young

This week's edition of Song-ography features Rod Stewart's song Forever Young.

Finally,  a singer and a song I am well acquainted with.  I had myself a Rod-athon this week digging out all the CD's and listening to every one of them.  I never did see him in person but I did see an impersonator once - about 20 years ago.  This takes me back to a time when I thought I would be forever young. 

If anyone is going to stay Forever Young I guess it would be Rod Stewart.  It's not easy being a grandfather and a father to toddlers at the same time.


May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or vagabond
 

Rod's first solos album was titled Every Picture Tells A Story.   I think I'll add that as a tag line on my blog.

Come sing along with Kathy at Song-ography.

  3. I love the tag line idea! And love this photo! Makes me think of those scenes in movies where kids climb up the water tower...either for a romantic interlude, a trouble making spree or to work through their woes. Amazing one photo can evoke all that!

  9. Great interpretation of the lyrics. - Love your editing of the photo as well. A Stairway to heaven is a wonderful thought.
    Had to laugh at the "Rod-a-thon" although I do love me some Rod Stewart. A funny thing is that there is a guy that lives here that looks just like RS (only younger) and every time I see him I just do a double take. - Yep, Rod is an interesting man for sure.

  10. Can you believe I turned down the opportunity to see him perform last summer so my daughter could attend with my husband (the opening band was one of her favs). She got to witness the difference between putting on a show and playing music at a concert. Two very good performances according to her and her father. I'm not a huge fan - but do like his remake of 'oldies'. He definitely has partook of the 'forever young' elixir.
