Perhaps the best line I've read online all week comes from - shock and awe! - MTV.com's Jon Wiederhorn, who opens a news story on this week's Billboard Top 200 with this gem:
"Even at 58 years of age, platinum-haired rock legend Rod Stewart can still sell himself like a high-class hooker."
Ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth. And while I certainly wish he were doing something more interesting musically than taking on "the classics" (and making such a cash cow out of 'em), for sheer personality, I'll take Rod over dry-as-toast old Macca anyday. We need Rod precisely because he needs us, the publicity whore. God bless him for that.
