Sir Rod Stewart

Pearlee — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 15:31:48 GMT

See a photo of Rod Stewart being knighted yesterday by Prince William on behalf of the Queen. From the article:

"Stewart, 71, was recognized for his music career as well as his contributions to charity. He’s a regular supporter of Prince Charles‘s Prince’s Trust — a foundation that aids disadvantaged youth."

I guess the Queen doesn't perform investitures herself anymore. Can't blame her. Rod looks short in the photos. But he's 5'10" and his wife is 6'1". And she's wearing heels, further exaggerating their difference.

He looks like he's stuck in a hole. I like RS's music but he is trying too hard to fight aging. He should embrace it instead of going for younger and younger women and having children who may well grow up not knowing their father. Yes, I am injecting my opinion into the discussion but these old guys have to grow beyond adolescence.

Who's next? Ozzy Osbourne? I guess all it takes is contributing to the Royal's favorite charites.

No, I don't think you're sexy and I hate your chopped hair and your plaid pants over the skinny legs,,,,not flattering. Oh and never liked his voice.

Such harsh comments. Were people upset when Paul McCartney was knighted? How about the hundreds of other people in the entertainment business also so honored?

@truffle And I would surmise he'd have the same opinion about you.

@Hooty You are welcome!

I never cared for his music or persona.

I was personally thrilled when Angelina Jolie was honored by HRM Queen Elizabeth and made Dame. AJ was recognized for her humanitarian work.

I felt the same about Elton John (Aids foundation), but PMC- meh.

It's not being 'upset' per se; entertainers really dont get me worked up. I either enjoy their body of work or don't. I have a life of my own which can be plenty interesting.

@Pearlee

Thanks so much for posting this, Pearley!

Congratulations to Sir Rod Stewart! He wears it well - a little out of time, but we don't mind

@Vivian, musicians aside, I think your words are timely pearls of wisdom, if you get my drift.

My reply was mostly directed at a poster who didn't seem to know that musicians and entertainers are knighted often.

Good for him! I love his voice. I have all of his American Classics. His youngest son looks just like him. Look at his expression and how he is standing! That boy is going to be something!
