In Rod We Trust

by Ryal

Exactly seven hours and twenty-nine minutes until the greatest show on earth, better known as Rod Stewart live in concert. Lets just state the obvious here. Rod Stewart is a rock icon. A blonde-haired, model marrying, self-proclaimed “Scottish rock God,” that on frequent occasions poses the question, “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” He’s dated a girl named “Maggie” and given us all “A Reason To Believe.” Tonight, with the company of three rock-loving friends, girlfriend included, I’ll be able to witness Rod in person at the RBC Center in Raleigh. For all you latecomers, tickets on Craigslist.com are now going for $175 a pop… for the nosebleeds! Jump on the cool train while you can still afford it.
