    He doesn't say don't change your point of view - he says don't let someone else change your point of view. Basically, be true to yourself no matter what others say.

    Rod evolved throughout the years, from "do you think im sexy" to "forever young", "Maggie May" to "you wear it well" and then there is " Rhythm of my heart" to "Mandolin Wind" many decades of hit after hit!!

    A young Turk is defined as someone who advocates for change. A rebel against the established way of doing things. Basically he was telling this generation (80's) to be themselves and not to let people change them or tell them what to do.

    It's never let them change your point of view, not never change your point of view. Be the one to grow, not the one to be cultivated from the outside without thought. The point is to be receptive, not subservient.

    Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams
    He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this
    Patti packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just seventeen
    There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye
    They held each other tight as they drove on through the night, they were so excited
    We got but one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
    Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided
    And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands
    Young hearts be free tonight
    Time is on your side
    Don't let 'em put you down, don't let 'em push you around
    Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
    Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner
    They took a two room apartment that was jumping every night of the week
    Happiness was found in each other's arms as expected, yeah
    Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh
    Young hearts be free tonight
    Time is on your side
    Don't let 'em put you down, don't let 'em push you around
    Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
    Come on Billy
    Woo
    Young heart, be free tonight
    Time is on, on your side
    Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents tryin' to explain
    He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way
    But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening, so we just ran away
    Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah
    Young hearts be free tonight
    Time is on your side
    Young hearts be free tonight
    Time is on your side
    Young hearts be free tonight
    Time in on your side
    Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
    Time is on, time is on your side
    Time, time, time, time is on your side
    Is on your side, is on your side
    Young heart be free tonight
    Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    Rod Stewart wrote the following in his autobiography:
    "As the 1980s began, I faced musical challenges on a number of fronts. As far as music critics were concerned, I was about as welcome as a hole in a parachute. 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?' and the surrounding hoopla had convinced the music writers that I had been led astray forever by the glitter of the disco ball and the Hollywood lifestyle and was irredeemable."
    Funny stuff!!! 😀

This old heart of mine, Ooh La la, Maggie May, My heart can't tell you no, Downtown train, Reason to believe, Rhythm of my heart, Forever young, Have I told you lately that I love you....The list goes on and on!

  • @jannasomewhere2889

    Rod Stewart is a musical chameleon. He has produced so many different sounds, it's impossible to pin him down with any one sound as his "defining" type.
    What's funny is that his voice itself doesn't change that much -- very signature vocal quality no matter the decade -- but the song choices and musical styles are all over the map. My favorite thing about him is the vitality he brings to his music. He's a survivor in an industry that burns up and burns out thousands of artists. Still having the time of his life and sharing that joi de vivre with his fans. All hail SIR Roderick!

  • @Karen_in_Canada

    First time I heard that song, I was hooked. It was 1981, I was 13, and it thought me a life lesson that I still apply to this day:
    Don't let them put you down
    Don't let 'em push you around
    Don't let 'em ever change your point of view...

    I love how you “get” the lyrics in all of these songs, especially this one. As far as getting your wild out when you’re young, that’s a valid point. But, also, building a life takes building a foundation first, then continuing to build from there, throughout life to have a secure future. Best to build that foundation when you’re young and have that energy to do it.

    “There ain’t no point in talkin’ if there’s nobody listenin’, so we just ran away.” That’s the one line that stands out to me the most - is that in the spirit of the song’s message, or does it symbolize youthful immaturity? Great song - my favorite by Rod Stewart.

    just to let you know, rod's and alphaville's "forever young" are two completely different songs.
    i have loved rod stewart since a tween and he has so many fabulous songs. his 1974 - 1983 period was his golden age imo. "young turks" is just about peak rod, for me. he's got a rock 'n roll voice, style, and swagger that just doesn't work with jazz, american standards and big band that seem to be his realm now.

    Excellent point on changing point of view. I have been listening to Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon since 1973. Specifically, the song “Time” means something different to be about every 10 years. Now, at age t4 and having had cancer for 6hears it has really changed.
    This is but one small example. Obviously you meant a broader range of things affected by age, wisdom, having a family to protect, love and loss. Great point.

    Great reaction as always. Did you catch Jeff Beck in the pink pants? Yes, Jeff Beck! We had so much talent in our music back then. (I’m 70 and lived these songs). ❤

    Rod Stewart is my teens and early 20s. God the memories, it was a great time to be alive!

    I actually got to co-write with one of the writers of this song Kevin Savigar I asked him to sign my 45 record, and he said I think I had the flip side too, he did great guy! He also co-wrote Forever Young w Rod and played Keyboards for him!

    "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" is a departure from his 'rockin style and is an amazing song!

    Rod is one of the greats and this song is amazing! A song about a young couple wanting to be together and but feeling like their lives are being crushed by expectations and others pushing back against them so they ran away to be free, to be together and live how they wanted. The song is a rebellious song from the standpoint of being young. That you should enjoy your youth, live free and enjoy it while you can because time is short. In this story, the couple ends up having a kid and so their young freedom is likely to end. Responsibility and care for a baby is now going to be what their lives are about. In the end, while Rod does sing about not letting anyone change your point of view, it is from the point of view of someone young who at the time needs to resist what adults would push on you because this is the time to make those mistakes and learn from life. However, I also feel it speaks to the idea that as you get older that point of view is going to change you on its own. No need for anyone else to do it. Evolve as you grow in this life, not as someone else dictates. Great song! Rod can write and tell a story!

    Same with people requesting Under Pressure (DavidBowie), Stairway To Heaven(LedZep), Chicago ,Queen, GrandFunk...all these bands people will always request their "hits"...True fans will want you to hear the early stuff..the stuff that made them noticed and loved in the 1st place by taking a chance and giving them a listen. The songs these bands wrote when they were passionate and hungry for fame.....those are the good songs. I bought albums many times in those days without ever hearing a song...lots of times based on their looks on the covers, lol How many know Ron Wood from the Stones was originally with Rod Stewart and the Faces...or Rod Stewart singing on Jeff Becks album TRUTH ..play AINT SUPERSTITIOUS ! Great song and Stewart not very known yet was listed on the album as vocal extraordinaire....

    This is probably my favourite Rod Stewart song, and that's a hard thing to say. He has so many great hits, over multiple decades. A great rabbit hole for anyone.

    Always enjoy your views/thoughts on these songs.
    Glad ya gave the song time to get to the hook. This song brings you in to, like you stated, our young days and life.
    Need to check out "Forever Young" as you are familiar with it, if the same song.
