Strewth, The tight fisted scot git. He's a bleeding has been. Who's daft enough to pay good money to see to see that has been.

Blimey Bruce Forsyth on the box is bad enough, but paying to see this git who by the way avoids his duty to pay British Taxes.

OHHH LOD SHICHUUAATO KAKKOIIII!!! Well, you know Tsunku, Tetsuya, etc are imitating him anyway. It'll probably be mobbed by housewives holding fans in the front row, LOL

If he sticks to his classic rock hits, I'd consider it. I saw him a few years back and he still puts on a good show. But I'll stay home if he plays those big band and showtune messes. To bad he can't kick soccer balls into the crowd anymore!

Gotta make a buck I suppose but please, leave the jazz alone mate because you're just hopeless at it. Easily the most forgettable jazz vocalist in history by far.

In a perfect world, Rod would ask Misia to perform live with him from the slums of Tokyo.

Wake up, Roddie, I think I've got somethin' to say to you. It's late November and I really should be gettin' back to school. I know you keep us amused, but I feel we're being used. Oh, Roddie I wish you'd never played Japan. They lured you away from home, just to play at the Tokyo Dome. You stole our yen, and that's what really hurt.

The wireless mic when it's in your hand really shows your age. Your voice is giving out. In my eyes your past your prime. I listened to your 70's folk. My yen you tried and failed to coax. Oh, Roddie I wish you'd never played Japan.

Good to see ol' Rod's still got enough pull to fill Saitama Super Arena.

On his MTV unplugged show he sang while sitting down the whole time, and that was more than 10 years ago! What now? singing while propped up on a hospital bed?
