On this day 10 years ago Rod Stewart was knighted.

Oh, I never was good w/ romantic words
So the next few lines come really hard
Don’t have much but what I’ve got is yours

56 years ago today: "For Everly and Everly". Well, Geoffrey Cannon's claim that the only good Everlys number of the mid-1960s is "Love Is Strange" is nonsense, of course: What about the magnificent "The Ferris Wheel" (1964)? Guardian, 11 September 1970.
