Rod Stewart and His Outfit Are Having the Time of Their Lives
Rod. Fuckin'. Stewart. Never before have I felt compelled to call the singer behind "Maggie May" and "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" Rod Fuckin' Stewart. And considering the fact that he was knighted in 2016, it is probably wildly inappropriate for me, an American, to call him Rod Fuckin' Stewart.
But look at this man! Look at his joy and his Toasted Coconut Fit and his wild hair and his repp tie and his sneakers. This, right here, is none other than Rod. Fuckin'. Stewart.
Stewart was seen exiting BBC Radio 2 in London this week, and because he is who he is, he was thronged by fans upon his departure. This is why, I presume, he raised his arms in the air and let forth what looks to be an ebullient whoop as soon as he hit the sidewalk. This is a man having a good time. This is a man, quite possibly, having the time of his life.
And you know what? His outfit looks like it's having a damn good time, too. This isn't the young Rod of The Jeff Beck Group or Faces, nor is it the riding-high Rod of the '70s and '80s. This is an elder Stewart. Sir Rod. Gone are the elaborately printed, flowing shirts. Absent are the arm garters and neckerchiefs. Instead, we've got a tan suit, tan overcoat, a boldly striped tie, and a pair of Chuck Taylors. Oh, and don't forget the big ol' mirrored aviator sunglasses.
His tie bar? It says "Celtic." It's for the Scottish football club, of which Stewart is an avowed fan. As a rule, this sort of accessory is not a great idea for normal guys. But remember: This is no normal guy. This is Sir Rod Fuckin' Stewart. Long may he reign.
