have you thought about looking for a rod steuart forum/ website where you can chat about him with other fans? (that might help too, meeting people who feel the same)

I myself havon't listened to his music since my friend bethany died (he was her favorite), and listening to him now is painful.

with that said, their's a song he does, "I am sailing", which I really miss. it's a really lovely song

I hope one day I can listen to him again- I'm sure I will, I remember when michael jackson died it took me a whole year before I could go back to his stuff

but I did and I'm so glad I did- because I like him too
