Best of luck for those graduating in the next week or two.

David Cranmer said...: I've always appreciated some of Rod's career. Especially the first couple of records.; 8:07 PM
Graham Powell said...: When this came out I figured it would be a classic. So simple, but some real feeling there. Is the kid in the video his son?; 9:16 PM
Anonymous said...: We went to Texas to see family the year "Greatest Hits" came out (late '70's?). The nieces played it over and over and...I came home and had to have the album, too. He's still cool.

Chris said...: I love vintage Rod Steward a lot; this record he was turning a corner into a style I'm not fond of, but I do have fond memories of this song.

My son graduates in one week. It's pretty damn bittersweet.; 11:30 PM

pattinase (abbott) said...: It certainly is a bittersweet time.
I am a fan of a few of his songs, but certainly not all of them. My parents loved his covers of classic old songs.; 8:14 AM
