暗闇のロッド・スチュワート
ロッド・スチュワートがふてくされているらしい。
自宅(ちなみに５０部屋)の裏庭にフルサイズのサッカー場を持っているロッドは、ナイター設備を付けようとしたところ、近所の住民に反対されたらしい。
ロッドは、チェルシーやセルティックのようなたくさんの名門チームが使ったことがあるこのサッカー場を大層誇りに思っているとのことである。
「ナイター設備があれば夜でもサッカーの試合が見れるのに。。。」とふてくされたスコットランド人のロッドは、ワールドカップでイングランドが得点を取るたびにむくれているらしい。。。
ロッドは今頃大邸宅で自ら作った名曲「I was only joking」を歌っているに違いない。
「♪What kind of fool was I, I could never win...」(何てオレはバカだったんだ、結局何も得るものはなかった。。。)

Rod is left in the dark

FOOTBALL-mad Rod Stewart has told how he was “gutted” when plans to put FLOODLIGHTS around the pitch in his back garden were booted into touch.
He was left in the dark when neighbours gave the scheme the red card.
Rod, 61, had the full-sized pitch, complete with changing rooms, built at his 50-room mansion in Epping, Essex.
Speaking at the premiere of the new Evita production in London’s West End, he said: “I’m so proud of the pitch — it’s like a bowling green.
“I’ve had all the big teams train on it. Chelsea and Celtic have been to do sessions on it.
“I really wanted to get floodlights so we could have games at night, so I applied for planning permission.
“The council sent a letter to all my neighbours and every single one objected. I was gutted.”
The staunch Scotland fan — who recorded the team’s World Cup song in 1978 — was then asked if he was backing England in Germany.
He replied: “You can’t ask me that!”
But fiancée Penny Lancaster, 35, interrupted to say: “I just have to stifle my celebrations when England score because he has such a glum face!”
