It's just...

It's maddening.

I knew nothing about this story when I first heard about it about five years ago or so.

Anyways, it's an incredible tale.

I hope you dig it.

Check it out.

It's in the feed right now.

We have it live now because at this time of year, the World Cup is happening.

NBA finals are happening.

Stanley Cup finals.

The NCAA baseball tournament.

Sports is dominating our attention at the moment is what I'm saying.

So I thought I'd do a little...

High Fidelity, Rob Gordon Championship Vinyl, Top 5 Rock and Roll Soccer Crossover Moments, with an emphasis, of course, on the strange and bizarre and the unknown.

Unknown, at least to me, and hopefully to you as well.

All right, so let's get into it.

Number five, the rock and roll myth that Rod Stewart—and no, not that myth—

that Rod Stewart was signed by a professional soccer club, by Brentford FC, Brentford Football Club.

Back before he became a famous rock star, the myth goes, as the myth goes, Rod chose not to play professionally in order to sing about hot legs and girls named Maggie Mae.

But that's not true, okay?
