Oh, God, I Wish I Was Home Tonight

Rod Stewart was the “featured celebrity” guest on American Idol tonight and I was reminded of my first (and last) Rod Stewart concert.

First off, and in my own defense, I didn’t pay a dime for my ticket. My mom and stepfather paid for them and forcefully drug my stepsister and myself along because none of their own friends were foolish enough to attend a Rod Stewart concert.

Rod is one skinny motherfucker and he loves to prance. He didn’t dance. He hopped, skipped, jumped, and frolicked across the damn stage. I managed to contain my laughter up until the point he took off his shirt and the ladies in the crowd cheered and wooed. How can you get excited about something like that? I’ve seen photographs in National Geographic magazine of Indonesian people with more meat on them. I still wake up with night tremors on occasion.

I rememember looking over at my stepsister about halfway through the concert and saying, “Unless someone in the crowd is pregnant, we’re the youngest ones here.”

    I’m afraid I have no sympathy. It’s not like you couldn’t have stayed at home and done something more pleasant. Like sticking nails in your eyes.

    He did an MWR concert in Fo-ginya when I was stationed there. I think I’d rather him just poop on our flag than offend us in such a way as ripping his shirt off and prancing. It’s a good thing the VBPD Nazis checked us for blades. Otherwise, that fruit woulda been prancing around his spleen.

    So, let me get this straight. You don’t like Rod Stewart or you do?

    It’s safe to say we would not be friends were a meeting arranged.

    [...] With sales of the soundtrack to Tetherd Cow Ahead now reaching millions, it’s no surprise that other artists are wanting to record their own renditions of the album’s most popular songs. Rod Stewart’s techno remix of the entire album (at the request of Peter Miller himself) is expected to be in stores by the end of the year. [...]

    [...] What the hell, Tristan? You’re all but unheard of, yet your CD is harder to get into than the Pentagon. And it’s not even compatible with the iPod! Nobody uses Windows Media, baby. Nobody! I would expect this sort of thing from Metallica or Rod Stewart, but not you. This really hurts my (one and only) feeling. [...]
