Thankfully Rod didn't spend eons on his childhood - a pet peeve of mine when reading memoirs. Only very very rarely does someone's childhood and family history warrant more than a few chapters. Rod establishes that he had a regular, happy childhood. Admits he was a bit spoiled. Then after a few chapters he moves onto his teenage years and his beginnings on the music scene and then the fame & fortune. Rod was born on 10th January 1945 as the fifth child of Elsie Rebecca Gilbari and Robert Joseph Stewart in Highgate, North London. The interesting thing about Stewart is that he was born during the Second World War in his home. He completed his early schooling at Highgate Primary School. Rod was very poor in studies and even failed in the eleven plus exam. Stewart completed his early schooling in the William Grimshaw Secondary Modern School.

[189] Rod also spends a lot of his book talking about his various passions. While I am not into his hobbies of model trains & football & cars, I appreciate other people's passions. What is interesting in another person is their love & passion for something. It would be boring to only be around people with similar interests - I like hearing about things I don't know about and hearing about why a person likes something. I googled Rod after reading this book & came across a video of him weeping a few months ago after his beloved football won some big game. Awww. He really loves football. His chapter on collecting art was pleasant to read. I'm not into the period of art he collects but I respect that he immerses himself into learning about it & collecting it & about the joy art gives him.
