Rod Stewart not telling "Truth"

Tonight Rod Stewart was on American Idol, working with the 7 finalists on American Standards.

On more than one occasion, Rod said something to the effect that he couldn't have possibly done what the Idol contestants were doing at such a young age.

I screamed at the TV, "What are you talking about?"

Here are the ages of the remaining male contestants: Ace = 25, Chris = 26, Elliot = 27, and Taylor 28.

Rod Stewart signed his first recording contract and released his first single in 1964, at the age of 19.

In 1968, at the age of 24, Rod was asked to join The Jeff Beck Group and sang on the album "Truth". This is a Classic Rock Album that made it to #15 on the Billboard Charts.

It is pretty sad when I know more Rock Trivia about Rod Stewart than Rod himself does.

Perhaps the infamous stomach pumping incident has led Rod to block out those early years.

You are either Mr. Rock trivia or "have nothing to do on this hot afternoon."
