Mr. DeeJay
Dear Sir Rod Stewart.
I have been in love with you and your music since I was about 12 years-old. A neighbor gave me a stack of records for my brand new little record player in 1976. One of those small records was "Maggie May" and as you said in the show it was played and here you are. Well I played it and was forever in love.
So you are on tour and I had the opportunity to buy tickets and could afford the ones in the grass. And while I would much more enjoy the show from the seating area...I will take being able to see my all time favorite performer from the grass. Thank goodness for those screens we could watch from.
Ms. Cyndi Lauper came on and did her show. When she just started "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", my granddaughter (who is 8 years-old), who I had brought with, figured out who she was and got excited. We so enjoyed her performance and I considered it a bonus.
And then you were on stage. And I loved it. My heart was happy. I loved the stories, like you being knighted and your nod to your little brother. I fell in love with your music first, but I remember when I discovered that you had a grand sense of humor and made me wish I knew you in person....just to laugh.
After the show on the drive home I asked my granddaughter who she liked better, already knowing the answer. Naturally she said Cyndi Lauper and what a great role model she is for a young girl. But then she said she really really liked when you sang Mr. DJ. She may have missed the title of the song but she got it. And so you are still gaining young fans.
Thank you for sharing all your passion, your music and of yourself to us in the audience. I loved the show and am more than appreciative of being able to see you in concert. Sing on.
Light and love.
