Gosh yes ! I started university in October 1971 ( OMG ?) just as Maggie May was No 1, and then I had a boyfriend who loved the song too ( but then dumped me after writing that the words ‘ Madame Onassis got nothing on you ‘ ( from the Every Picture tells a Story LP ? ) could have been written just for me .
So, in my 2nd year at Uni in my Hall of Residence I had a HUGE poster of Rod Stewart wearing a pink satin suit on my wall ! It was the era of glam rock though really , cos I always loved Marc Bolan too ! It’s funny if you watch an early interview between Russell Harty and Rod Stewart though, cos RS looks so ‘ camp ‘ but is clearly a ‘ right goer ‘ with the women, whereas RH is the one who turned out to be gay ! I’ve found it funny in life that some of the ‘ manliest looking ‘ men have turned out to be gay, whereas some men who have style but dress rather alternatively and might be considered ‘ camp ‘ are ‘ raging ‘ heterosexuals!!! ???
