I used to love Rod Stewart in my high school days.  I haven't listened to him in decades.  The Breakers Hotel is pretty elegant; it's a shame that a 74 year old can't control himself!

Rod Stewart and his son have been charged with simple battery after New Year's event, police say

Singer Rod Stewart has been charged with simple battery after punching a security guard at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, on New Year's Eve, police say.

Stewart, 74, told police he and his family were trying to get the children in their group access to a private event at the hotel, according to a Palm Beach Police Department probable cause affidavit obtained by CNN affiliate WPTV.
The security guard working the event in the children's area said Stewart's group was unauthorized to enter and asked them to leave after they "began to get loud and cause a scene," the affidavit states.

Stewart's son, Sean Stewart, then "got about 'nose to nose' distance" from the security guard's face, police said. The security guard placed his hand on Sean Stewart's chest and asked him to give him space when Sean Stewart shoved him backward.

Rod Stewart then punched the security guard in his left ribcage area, police said.

I'd like to hear the whole story before passing judgement on Sir Rod and his son. Espeically when it comes to "security guards" or mall cops. I've encounted a few over the years that I was tempted to punch. Just saying.

Agreed. Stewart doesn't have a reputation for trouble.

He's is a big fave in my household.

Giving Rod the benefit of the doubt here.

Sir Rod is also big into model railroading. The pictures of his layout are amazing.

While life on the road as a rock musician and its temptations has led to many contemporaries going off the rails, for Sir Rod railway modelling became an escape from the pressures of touring — he would take kits, tools and paints with him and book an extra hotel room for a workshop so he could pursue his hobby in between concerts wherever he was in the world.

'We'd tell them in advance and they were really accommodating, taking out the beds and providing fans to improve air circulation and ventilation,' he said.

I love, love, love trains - old trains, steam trains, diesel trains, electric trains, freight and passgenger trains, real trains and love good detailed model trains and anyone who has put this much time and this much effort and detail into it, just can’t be a bad person in my book!
