He was particularly amusing reminiscing about growing up in a small English village (although born in Scotland, Stewart grew up in Wimborne, Dorset), which may seem a bucolic upbringing to some, but was deathly boring to the young Al. He noted that he could talk about the Trojan war “for hours” and confessed to sometimes spending “days” on deciding on just one word of a lyric. Other topics Stewart touched on were disco (he’s not a fan), the English folk rock movement (of which he was an important and successful part), Helen of Troy, the many aliases of Steven Demetre Georgiou (google him), Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Scott (and Shackleton) of the Antarctic, the French revolutions and more, all with a witty and droll delivery. As an example, he introduced the song “Joe the Georgian” as being a fable about the many Bolsheviks Josef Stalin had murdered in his reign of terror, eagerly waiting for him to die and join them in hell, where they could then exact revenge by tormenting and torturing him for eternity. His songs are about things – indeed, he was at pains to explain that he constantly searches for original topics to be covered and captured in his work. Stewart revels in the language of song, lyrics, and of poetry, and the folk tradition of telling a story.
