I must agree with you.

― man, Saturday, 23 November 2002 03:38 (twenty-three years ago)

nine months pass...

I don't. But then I'm not a six foot blonde.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 23 August 2003 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

hahahahaha I often wonder who the hell told Rod Stewart that he was hunky at all. Whoever did is responsible for a lot of extremely painful music videos and should be set aflame along with Rod's hair.

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 23 August 2003 23:12 (twenty-two years ago)

an alarmingly large number of Oxford pub landlords have Rod Stewart hairstyles.

50 yr old housewives to thread

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 23 August 2003 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

anyway he sang "*if* you think I'm sexy and you want my body" in the actual song.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 23 August 2003 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Presumably not enough people had been coming on and letting him know.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 23:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, that's like the saddest song I've ever heard now!

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 23:18 (twenty-two years ago)

what's worse? he stole that melody from a jorge ben song.

― JasonD (JasonD), Sunday, 24 August 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Or was it Shuggy Otis? Anyway, Rod's version is one of the best things ever, obv.

― Sean (Sean), Sunday, 24 August 2003 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I always wanted to do a super sleazed out distorted cover of that song as a medley with I Touch Myself by the Divinyls and crawl all over the stage being sexxxy. May be someday.

― NA (Nick A.), Sunday, 24 August 2003 02:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick is crazy, but that's besides the jpoint.
Rod Stewart is the anti-sexy.

― Sarah McLjusky (coco), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I Mean, my STEP-0MOM likes Rod Stweart. (oh wait, she also likes my dad I suppose -whioops).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

my stepmom doesn't like rod stewart or neil young for some reason. but she loves 'some girls are bigger than tohers' by the smiths. i don't understand that generation.

― allyson (schmanktenputchka), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe that's why they're called the Dumbfuck Generation. I think Tom Brokaw is writing a book about them.

― NA (Nick A.), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

dumbfucks, rod stewart has IT! (had)

― allyson (schmanktenputchka), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think that rooster-headed raspy-voiced crooner person thing is at all sexy. No way. In the ever-continuing saga of him vs. Elton John, I root for Elton all the way (lots more fun), and in the ever-continuing saga of him vs. Sting, I root for Sting all the way (like him more). And hearing him quote on about his "bed 'em and leave 'em" policy for decades certainly doesn't help matters much.

(Pre-emptive statement: Sure, I hate fun. *grin*)

― Just Deanna (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 24 August 2003 06:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Rod Stewart is the only famous person i know of who, on being asked abt his favourite website, responded that he didn't have one as he "knew nothing about computers".

..and how do you feel about that gareth?

― Nellie (nellskies), Monday, 25 August 2003 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think only people with bizarre cockatoo fetishes could find Rod sexy.

― Larcole (Nicole), Monday, 25 August 2003 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know if I find him sexy, but I tire of Rod hatin'. The man's made excellent music throughout his career (at least up until that Unplugged deal, which was officially when his career had become retro and hit-free). Y'all just hatin'.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember really liking "Some Guys Have All The Luck" when I was, like, 2.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Robert Palmer wrote that one.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Neither wrote it I think. I like both versions but Palmer's is superior (damn enthusiastic).

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

"Eeeef ya wunt mah boodah awnd ya theenk ah'm seksah cuhmon bebah let me knoo."

Rod Stewart lucked into an alternate reality where remade karoke classics could attract the supermodels like locusts

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

He was meant to go to the alternate reality where remade karoke classics could attract the locusts like supermodels.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 25 August 2003 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Robert Palmer's version is on a half-live/half-studio album that includes a song he co-wrote with Gary Numan!

― Sean (Sean), Monday, 25 August 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

And a grand version it is too! As is his cover of Gary's "I Dream of Wires."

I think only people with bizarre cockatoo fetishes could find Rod sexy.

You bigot! Oh wait.

Oh, you know they call me Rod "The Rod" Stewart!

― Rod Stewart (coco), Monday, 25 August 2003 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

you all know what i think of "the rod"...

― g.shepard (gygax!), Monday, 25 August 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Pardon me for being pedantic, but in the song in question ("D'ya Think I'm Sexy?"), isn't it the other character in the song who is asking Rod (the protagonist) the title question?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 25 August 2003 20:08 (twenty-two years ago)

nah, rod is telling the story in the third person; however, i do think it's the guy who's narrating the chorus.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 25 August 2003 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll have to go listen again.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 25 August 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

gygax is right.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 25 August 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Rod's telling the story about some other couple to the chick he's trying to "make" as they said back then.
It's sort of a Penthouse Letters approach to picking up girls.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 25 August 2003 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, that's right! Rod's just the storyteller/observer.....kind've like The Watcher in Marvel's "What If..." series.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 25 August 2003 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i wonder if this is the same couple in "young turx"?

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 25 August 2003 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

everyone of us thinks he is sexy we are all just afraid to say

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, where does the term young turks come from anyway? I've always wondered, but somehow never come across the answer.

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 00:47 (twenty-two years ago)

The main meaning of the expression young Turk is 'a member of an insurgent, usually liberal faction within a political group or other organization'. The expression is a figurative application of the Young Turks, which was the popular name for the Committee of Union and Progress, a revolutionary reformist group that led a successful rebellion in (yes!) Turkey in 1908 and held power for another decade or so.

The word Turk has been used since the sixteenth century to mean 'a person having characteristics traditionally applied to the Turks; (specifically) a cruel or tyrannical person'; there is an isolated example in 1904 of the phrase "young Turk" which is probably just an application of this sense.

From The Mavens' Word of the Day (Sep 17, 1996)

"These young Turks in the LDP are still on the fringe," said Hideaki Kase, a historian and political commentator. "So it's my bet that Hashimoto will win, because he controls the apparatus." (Doug Struck, "Revolt Opens Up Race to Lead Japan," _The Washington Post_, Apr 12, 2001).

YOUNG TURKS – “insurgents; restive elements within a party seeking control or at least a voice; usually, not always, comparatively young.

The Young Turks were the reformers of the Ottoman Empire, a revolutionary group that seized power in 1908 from the aging sultans; in 1922 the House of Osman gave up and the Young Turks – middle-aged by then – set up a republic.

The name was used to describe a group of Republican senators in 1929 who broke with their leadership over tariff legislation. Wrote ‘Time” magazine at the time: ‘…These new Republican warriors were called the Young Turks, a band of about 20 who had mutinied against the feeble leadership of the ‘Old Guard.’ For senators they were young men (average age 56). As legislative legionnaires they were mostly rookies serving their first Senate enlistment.’”

Today the phrase is used to describe any faction impatient with delay or defeat, seeking action. Party regulars use it patronizingly, but those so labeled do not resent it. The phrase was eclipsed for a time by ‘angry young men.’

During the Bermuda Conference of 1953, Winston Churchill digressed from the agenda to discuss imperialism with Dwight Eisenhower, expressing his doubts about the wisdom of self-government for peoples not yet ready for it. When the American President disagreed with a portion of Prime Minister’s argument, Churchill smiled and said, ‘You’re just like the Young Turks in my government.’”

From “Safire’s New Political Dictionary” by William Safire (Random House, New York, 1993).

Thank you!

two months pass...

Still not sexy.

― man, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

My mum still thinks he's sexy but that might be the 50-something housewife vote talking...

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

MIGHT be?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it also might be her inner 20-something mod remembering the "Rod The Mod" days.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

if by sexy you mean "sings great harmony backing vocals on Ron Wood's 'Mystifies Me'" than I would have to say: "oh yes!"

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

four months pass...

DUMBASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

― Betty Rubble, Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Now Betty was hot.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh dear lord, what was it I was saying on the crush thread about Rod Stewart hair? I take it all back, I take it all back, I'm sorry!

― Psycho Kate (kate), Saturday, 27 March 2004 09:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Rod Stewart is a maniac who refuses to shake hands with people unless he's wearing gloves. And his version of Someone To Watch Over Me makes one long for the Wesley Willis version.

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 27 March 2004 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

rode is still a hot man even in his old age

― lynn davey, Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anyone ever figured out who the three dudes on the covers of all the Revolting Cocks records are? Was it just an inside joke from the second record on, and the first one was just a random photo of three young whippersnappers?

FUNNY YOU MENTION REVOLTING COCK MARTIN! (check the track listing a little closer...)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 20 May 2004 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Er, I assumed thats WHY he said that...

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 May 2004 06:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think he's very sexy, but I do want his money.
