Rod Stewartā¦Heās 80 this weekendā¦ still fit as a fiddle according to his lovely wife Penny 
ā¦ playing Glastonbury again later this year. Looking forward to that oneā¦
I loved the Faces. Ronnie Wood is a true guitar legend and an excellent painter.

Shame about the very late 80ās-early 90ās drum machine thoughā¦

Grantās solo albums are the equal of anything the Go Betweens put out, and I say that as a long time besotted GB fan.
I was at a warehouse party in North Melbourne one night when, lo and behold and not advertised, Grant and Amanda stepped up and played a wonderful set. She alternated between acoustic guitar and violin.

Thanks for the alert!
Sparks is the most creative band in history. They have been making innovative music for over 50 years now.
Their music has spanned genres from rock to glam to techno to whatever, and always a year or two before the rest of the world caught up. When I say ābandā it is two brothers, and one of them has written nearly all their songs.
In that time they have done only 3 cover versions - that is less than did the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. But one of those was āDo Re Miā as a real rock song; another was āThe Star Spangled Bannerā as a protest against US invading Iraq. (They turned the chorus into āBaby, baby let me invade your countryā.
And what really sets them apart are the lyrics. No other band has ever had the range of themes they have had. Off the top of my head: The Louvre singing in the first person; animals left stranded by Noahās Ark singing āBon Voyageā to their friends and foes; Albert Einsteinās relatives who were happy he named his big theories after him; a US tourist in Europe who was shocked, quite shocked, because the tour guide mentioned āKantā- none of the girls where he was from would say that; someone who is in heaven (āwhere the people only sleep to awaken and to tell how gory and gruesome was their ends, and he does not have any friendsā because his lover did not jump off the cliff with him. And so on and on - and those examples were just off their first few albums.
