EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY

 




Yes, that great, and probably only great Rod Stewart album Every Picture Tells a Story (Gasoline Alley excepted) was a staple of my music listening in the first year of university. I loved the songs - Maggie May, Mandolin Wind, A Reason to Believe and others. This was Stewart at his best before he went on the rapid decline musically speaking but phenomenal growth fame-wise. There's no accounting for taste eh. The Old Girl and I walked out of a Western Springs Auckland concert of his many years ago.


"Why Rod Stewart?" you might ask.

Well, that old guy from Wainuiomata who must get his jokes from his old Beano comics said this in a comment to my last post:


Not exactly Oscar Wilde but, there you go.


I sent back a link to this video clip in reply. Hey! That showed him.



Anyway, doing this reminded me of a very clever cartoon The Old Girl sent me:



I like that.
