What Does Rod Stewart Have To Do To Get Noticed? Answer: Build Model Trains

If you're perusing the UK gossip pages, and there happens to be some breaking news about 62-year-old Rod "Captain Relevant" Stewart, which of the following headlines is going to actually grab your attention? A) Rod Stewart and current wife in domestic dispute; relationship on the rocks B) Singer Stewart, 62, arrested for DUI C) Do ya think I'm sexy now? Rod's latest model isn't tall and blonde - it's a railway set D) Rod Stewart does anything other than randomly and inexplicably constructing a model train set The answer, obviously, is C - Rod Stewart constructed a complete model replica of New York's Grand Central Station. How is this sentence real?? Did some SNL sketch called "Model Trains with Rod Stewart" that Mike Myers wrote in 1993 and aired at 12:55 suddenly come to life? "I'm a great model railway enthusiast and I'm building a huge layout over there in California so that takes up a little bit of time and football takes up a little bit of time," he said. "And then there's the children and I like to go out with the lads two or three times a week and go completely mad and sometimes I get my barnet done. It's still all my own hair, you know." Glad to see Rod's got his priorities in order: Model Railroads > Football > His Kids > Hair. Isn't this story so much better than, say, "Aging Rocker throws whiskey bottle at children?" Maybe British gossip is heading in a new direction? Needless to say, I can't wait to read about Elton John's weekly D&D Games.
