ROCK AND/OR ROLL 072 - ROD STEWART




BJ examines the first ten years (or so) of a storied career. Rod Stewart played a pretty major role in the development of rock and roll before he forsook his artistry for the pomp and circumstance of pomp and circumstance. If you are unfamiliar with Rod's early work, solo and/or with the Faces, prepare to be impressed.

It's time for the Pod and/or Roll as BJ is joined by Craig Smith and Eric Miller from the awesome Pods & Sods podcast for a fun and revelatory discussion about songs which each of them is willing to openly admit to liking even though many rock fans would probably be ashamed and/or embarrassed to admit to liking such songs but hey, the theme of this episode is NO SHAME and none is felt.
