What a tremendous experience it was to see Rod Stewart perform at Caesars Palace! Rod’s team’s hospitality was genuinely unexpected and greatly appreciated. I want to thank Micah, Jueying, and Megan for setting up the flight hotel booking and coordinating the meet and greet.

I had the opportunity to join Rod Stewart on stage and sing along to one of his hits, but I cowardly turned it down. I did the over 4,000 fans who paid to attend the concert a favor by not having to listen to my terrible singing voice! If I did somehow gain the courage to sing along, it would have been to my favorite Rod Stewart song, “In a Broken Dream,” which many casual fans have heard of since it was sampled in “Everyday” by ASAP Rocky featuring Miguel and Mark Ronson.

The energy and passion Rod brings to his performance are a source of joy and inspiration. Watching him live in person was truly remarkable. I also want to thank Rod’s incredible band members. These fantastic musicians and singers will likely never get the full recognition they deserve but are as much part of the show’s tapestry as Rod. Meeting them backstage was indeed an honor.

Thanks once again to Rod’s team for this incredible gift. Rod was put on this earth to be a singer, and I’m deeply grateful for the chance to watch and meet a rock legend.
