Rod Stewart and Maggie May

When I was a teenager, I desperately wanted to be Rod Stewart’s bed wrecking head kicking Maggie May. When I look at pictures of him now, my only thought is that he seems to be having a perpetual bad hair day. Too much head kicking perhaps.

He's looked like that for 35 years!

I liked Rod a lot in the early 70s. Great albums like "Gasoline Alley" and "Every Picture Tells a Story."

When you were a teenager you were too young to be his Maggie May. I always thought that was a cruel song, but maybe I didn't understand it. I liked the EPTAS album, too. Not so crazy about his standards of recent years. I love the songs themselves, but all that shuffle percussion gets tiresome.

Well, I don't think I had the most discerning taste in men (or hair)when I was a teenager. And Maggie certainly shouldn't have been a role model for me.

I could see you as a head-kicker...

This is one of the few RS songs I can say I really liked...

Hehe. I didn't know what this song was about until I was probably the age Maggie May was supposed to be. It kind of hurt that Rod was talking to me that way. How dare he say that about the morning sun on my face.
