Aftermath: Rod Stewart at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion

Ageism has always pissed off Aftermath immensely. There's something awfully arrogant and defeating about shamming older cats for still wanting to rock out, even if they are edging dangerously close to seventy years of age, as Rod Stewart is. No one begrudges B.B. King or Leonard Cohen for still shilling their songs, each sitting at eighty-three and seventy-four respectively.

True it is, that to most people "The Thrill Is Gone" and "Bird on the Wire" hold much more weight than say, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" The point is that Mr. Stewart can still captivate and thrill an all-ages crowd, neverminding what the cynics say. Imagine telling a writer that he's told to exercise his craft, or telling a painter that they must stop painting because they are too old to be relevant or expressive.

Rod Stewart live at the O2 and the RDS

Rod Stewart is pure entertainer, and makes pretenders like Robbie Williams seem go colorless imitations. He hasn’t released a decent album in many years , he somehow manages to get by on point, carefully-chosen covers, and that voice. With a cracking band and a trio of sassy soulful, female backing singers, he had the crowd fully controlled for the entire show. There was no room for ‘Reason to Believe’ or ‘Have I Told You Lately’.

Still, we got ‘You Wear It Well’, ‘This Ole Heart of Mine’, ‘Twisting The Night Away’ and his take on Tom Waits’ ‘Downtown Train’, while the encores inevitably included ‘Maggie May’ and ‘Sailing’.

HURTED ROD STEWART FAN GRANTED COMPENSATION

The rocker frequently kicks 30 autographed balls into the crowd at concerts. Price won her payout from the show's promoters.

Rod Stewart Blind Prayer Lyrics

I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
till I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five
I lost both my mother and my father
Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor
Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness
which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun
And that ain't all

A homeless child for the next five years
with my dog Clown by my side and my only friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I fought my way through school
Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend
And you know what the, the, the kids
down my street weren't too playful
And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me
And ah yeah

I worked my fingers to the bone
Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town
But then, but then I lost the last thing I had
When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog Clown
I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman
Sixteen years old and felt like a woman
But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me

I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
Tread my name into the dirt yeah

I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
What could I do

I never knew how much love could hurt me
But it never ever come my way before
No, no, no, no, no
I never knew how much love could hurt me
Good God it ain't never come my way before
Oh but, but you know what I'm trying to say
really what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me

Ah turn it down

I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt

You got a lotta lotta lost everything
that I ever had ever had
