Just back from a great Rod gig at the O2. It was like your best mate had just got up on stage to do a few numbers for you. And the most gorgeous string section and backing singers with him as well. And his missus sitting almost behind us. AND I caught one of the signed footballs he kicks out to the audience.

I went (and did the wedding pic's) for one my oldest friends (known since we were 7/8) and one of our other close friends provided the entertainment for the evening. Now you lot won't know of the name Mark Adams and sure he ain't in Rod's class of popularity but he's been Dean Martin in The Rat pack show for must be 13 years now and even if I say so meself coz we've also known each other since we were 7/8, he was simply brilliant !

Since you are coming out of the closet to reveal your inner schmaltz I will join in.

My all-time fave song is Frank Sinatra singing "That's Life"



Genius singer, genius lyrics

That's life
(That's life)
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

Go, Frank

'...inner schmaltz...'? Rod rather kept it to a minimum I thought, though I could have done without 'Sailing'.

Did he do "Dont Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

As for Sailing....Mans gotta do the popular songs for the fans to pay the bills
