If you understand the man without preconcieved repulsion, than maybe you could understand the moves he took. <br>Rod was never a "Serious" guy like Bob Dylan, he was a lad who liked a good laugh, liquor, singing, and women. He had the same "Divo" like attitude before he was famous in 63 with Long John as he did in 79. <br>Rod does what he wants, he admits he is lazy , and he just wants to have a good time. Rod admits he isn't a "Songwriter" in the sense that to him it is like being in school , it isn't a favorite thing or a natural thing for him to do.<br>Rod has always loved flashy things, fashion, cars, women before he was famous and before 67. <br>Rod incorporates humor into almost anything he does. From performing, to songwriting, to interviews. <br><br>He was always a vocalist, never a Bob Dylan type....He was never that dedicated to that side of the craft. When he had people around him is when they brought it out in him.<br><br>Besides I honestly don't think there is one artist you can honestly say that you love or hate that hasn't had a bad period. <br><br>So why are people so willing to give Rod shit over it? Ain't no changing it now. I may be the naive one here, but I don't see the surprise in any step of Rod's career.
