Rod Stewart (March 20, 1978) Quaffing a Few with Rod Stewart – CREEM Magazine Feature

Publication: CREEM Magazine

Date: March 20, 1978 (Spring Issue)

Writer: Richard Cromelin

A swaggering, boozy, late‑70s portrait of Rod Stewart — half rock god, half footballer, all charisma — captured in a CREEM feature that blends humor, candor, and the chaotic charm of a man who lived his life at full tilt. Richard Cromelin’s Spring ’78 interview finds Rod in rare form: loose, unfiltered, and gleefully reflective. Between drinks, football kicks, and bursts of laughter, Stewart recounts the end of the Faces, the birth of his new band, and the strange, exhilarating freedom of life after chaos. The result is one of the most vivid and entertaining snapshots of Stewart at the height of his solo success.
