He still wakes up every day and thanks his lucky stars for the life he has led. He is also a very entertaining writer. A very glib; easy-going writing style -- it slides by without unnecessary words or serpentine meaning. And he knows how to use a summation sentence to start each paragraph; so you never have to re-read anything or ask yourself `What is this numnut trying to say?` Hes self deprecating; and zero ego driven self-absorption is evident. Theres much in it about his love life; which I appreciated. 3 wives plus 2 long term sig-others later; you do start to wonder if he will ever realize that his penchant for tall gorgeous blonde models in their early 20s may have had something to do with things eventually not working out. Really though; if you are also of the male persuasion; who likes tall gorgeous blonde models in their early 20s? (You cant see it; but my hand raised...).I could have done without the details of his soccer(football) experiences; it being one of his passions and all. But he had the forethought to contain it in a few dedicated chapters titled `Digression` so it was easy to skip through it without missing anything else. But mostly Rods autobi is about the music; and this is critically important to me. I was never a Rod superfan; but as a rocker I always liked what he put out along the way -- always a mixture of a lot of styles that only the rock idiom can do. It was about musical blends. I loved the details of how songs got written; who was playing what; and why the arrangements came together as they did. Too many Rock Stars tell you all the details about what happened to them; but not what it all meant. Only the evolutionary details of the music; and the times in which it was created; can explain what it all meant; and Rod digs deeply into his professional life in this regard. Very cool.Of course; you also learn all the incredible long shots and lucking strokes that had to come together make a Rod Stewart. And there were plenty of them; most not the slightest bit obvious to Rod as they happened: `If you expect to get anywhere in the music business; son; youre going to have to get that raspy buzz out of your voice!` And on from there. By the end of this delicious autobi you agree with him -- he is without a doubt; the luckiest man in the world. At least the luckiest Rock Star. In addition to all that; he delivered something in his Rock Star autobi that few others have: Interesting writing!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Forever Rod!By I Am CeltI am an absolute Rod Stewart freak and dont deny it. Ive had the privilege of seeing him in concert four times; albeit from the lawn section of the PNC Arts Center in NJ; so I went into this book expecting to like it. I didnt like it...I loved it. Rod is very realistic about his life; sharing both his triumphs and all the crazy (and costly) shenanigans he and his band-mates participated in; especially regarding hotel rooms. There was a great deal of honesty in this book; and I appreciated this; as any reader should. It was nicely rounded-out by the fact that the man can; and frequently does; laugh at himself. Breath of fresh air; especially given that he lives in a world where people tend to be overly-impressed with themselves. His writing style is tongue-in-cheek and; while it will never be nominated for a Pulitzer; it was very well done; in my opinion; from the perspective of one who reads for pleasure. The chapter on his hair deserves its own review...it was absolutely hysterical and literally had me laughing out loud (I was glad I was home while reading it; rather than sitting in the dentists waiting room; or some other public place).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Very Likeable StarBy dennis p farrellRod comes across as a very down to earth; regular; very talented guy who also realizes he got lucky and made the most of it but never forgot his roots. He also stayed loyal to his "mates" ( friends) and isnt afraid to share the pain and scars along the way. I was very glad I read this book.
