Who the heck asked Rod Stewart to record "the classics"?

[eileen_d]

Just saw commercial for album "As Time Goes By" - Rod doing the "old standards." I have three questions:

Why?
Why?
WHY???

Good night.

[ugarte]

1. Why? Why? Why?

$$$

[HEyHEY]

2. Because

This is a sick sick world

[BootinUp]

3. Haven't seen the commercial

but Rod Stewart really rocks. Have you ever checked him out? Classic stuff. e/o/m

4. ROFL

I feel your pain.

[Old and In the Way]

5. He'll be appearing at your local Holiday Inn any month now.

He should have quit when he was ahead.

[VOX]

6. Doing standards is a fall-back if your career's in the dumper...

Rod Stewart is just one of the more recent has-beens to try this tack.

It's pretty sad.

7. Well, none

of us are getting any younger. :argh:

[Limbought]

8. Did You......

listen to the CD, or are you just asking the question?

IMO, it's quite good.

9. Somebody should be arrested for this

It's a crime similar to allowing Bryan Adams to continue to record.
