A DAY AT THE STUDIO, A HIGHT ON THE TOWN

"I though everybody in rock 'n' roll had illegitimate children."

Rod Stewart has three non-originals on Footloose and Fancy Free, his third post-Faces album: "If Loving You Is Wrong I Don't Want To Be Right," "You Really Got a Hold on Me" and 'You Keep Me Hanging On." The last title could apply to Rod and CREEM's cat-and-mousing over this interview. We first met at Cherokee Studios in West Hollywood, where Rod had agreed to answer a few questions in the course of the session. When we sat down to talk Rod, obviously restless, asked, "Why are we doing this now? They need me out there. Let's get together next week."
