Personal legacy - Rod Stewart is quite the ladies man as he has 8 children with 5 different women and has once been noted for cheating.  Some relationships overlapped and his third marriage came in the same year his second marriage dissolved.  

Aside from his sketchy personal life, Rod Stewart is still an iconic musician with impressive history that continues to the present day.

The One

The One has a unique special meaning to everyone - The One on a personal level, The One on a professional level, The One on a goal-oriented level...The One to have achieved desires in life.

To me, The One is realizing life long goals at the professional level and defining the American dream of home ownership.  

To you, what is your The One?

In this Set List post, The One is a gorgeous and meaningful ring jewel best viewed as a debut as The One ring will be a record loop for some time as a Wednesday theme.

And speaking of debut, in music of course, Duran Duran's debut album set the tone for The One long lasting career.
