The Algorithm Age

Rod Stewart just proved once again that rock and roll has no age limit. The 80-year-old legend lit up the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival in England over the weekend, delivering not only his iconic vocals but also a parade of standout fashion moments that had fans cheering from the crowd.

But all is not well: creative tensions, personal jealousies, secret ambitions, drink and drugs are all tearing the band apart. They go stir crazy working on the same songs for months on end. The members themselves are falling in and out of love. The female singer finally has enough of her relationship with the band’s controlling creative genius. The keyboardist splits with their coke-addled bandmate. The drummer’s wife wants a divorce. The whole thing is taking ages. Is this the price of making great art? If it sounds like a familiar story – and we’ll get to the lawsuit over the alleged similarities to Fleetwood Mac ’s fabled making of Rumours – then it is precisely the sense of historical recognisability that has helped make Stereophonic the most hyped play of the year.
