Rock ‘n’ roll has withstood the test
of some volatile times over the past
couple of decades. And one of the
reasons it has survived as a distinct
style is its all but limitless flexibility.
Rock has necessarily adopted the
“if you can’t beat ‘em, join ’em” po
sition with respect to new pop music
forms. Rock is a kind of musical
amoeba, ready and willing to absorb
any new idea that might challenge
its place at the top of the heap.
And that is precisely what is hap
pening with the latest challenger:
disco.
Rock ‘n’ rollers must be oppor
tunistic to survive, and they have
been forced over the past couple of
years to modify their attitude to
ward the formerly reviled thump-
thump disco beat, simply because it
has been so overwhelmingly suc
cessful.
Now, a newly bleached Rod
Stewart is making just such a
modification on his latest collection,
“Blondes Have More Fun.”
Although Stewart has always been

perceived mostly as a performer, his
writing talents are among the best in
rock ‘n’ roll. He — like Bob Seger,
Billy Joel and the majority of rock’s
best songwriters — is a storyteller.
And while he isn’t as prolific as
many writers, the songs he does
produce will stand with the best of
them.
“Blondes” is Stewart’s most cohe
sive album to date, a collection of
love songs of varying hues and styles

taken
viewed as
tragedy.
The album opens with the smash
hit disco-rocker “Do Ya Think I’m
Sexy,” a little story of almost-
innocent seduction that leads neatly
into “Dirty Weekend,” which is
pretty much self-explanatory.
“The Best Days of My Life” is a
tender ballad about the joys of love
without strings attached, and “Is
That the Thanks I Get” is an angry,
funky rocker about the inevitable
breakup.
The album continues in more or
less the same vein, through a variety
of up and down love affairs, high
lighted by the hardrocking title
track, and a fine, hot cover of the
soul classic, “Standin’ in the
Shadows of Love.” The climax
comes with our hero “Scarred and
Scared, in prison for some un
specified crime and awaiting the
executioner with plenty of regrets.
The variety of the songs on this
album -— ranging from the softest of
ballads to the hardest, loosest sort of
rock ‘n’ roll — is purposeful, permit
ting Stewart’s band to demonstrate
its unusual flexibility.
It’s people like Rod Stewart that
are keeping rock ‘n’ roll alive.

SHELLSBURG, Iowa — Octogenarian Warren Pangborn doesn’t
believe in a lazy body.
So on winter mornings around sunrise, he strips naked and walks
outside and rolls around in the snow for about five minutes. He said
he does it for “a wakerupper.”
“I’m not a lover of cold weather. I’ve had to fight it just like
everyone else,” Pangborn said. “But I believe in putting stress on the
body. A person should make his body work.”
Pangborn said his heart is fine, blood pressure is normal and he’s
not bothered by the usual ailments that are common for people in
their 80s.
“I do 11 ’* shiver, but my feet get kind of cold. If it’s nice soft snow, I
like to lay in it. If it’s not, I take the snow and rub it all over me until I
am wet,” he said.
He said his method is better than just getting in cold water because
inside water only gets down to 32 degrees at its coldest.
