Well, there’s always Maggie May, Mandolin Wind, and Every Picture Tells a Story!

None of those are nearly as bad as “The Killing of Georgie, Parts 1 & 2”. Ugh. Had a family member who was crazy about him. Never understood it.

Maggie May, Mandolin Wind, Every Picture Tells a Story, and Forever Young (1988). I loved that he wrote "Forever Young" to his own kids.
Wiki..."that was a real heartfelt song about my kids. I suddenly realized I'd missed a good five years of Sean and Kimberly's life because I was so busy touring all the time. With these kids now I don't make that mistake -- I take them on tour with me, so I can watch them grow up. So that's another favorite. Unfortunately, it wasn't a big hit in England, but it's like a national anthem here [America]."

The structure of the lyrics in this song was similar enough to a Bob Dylan song of the same title that, after its completion, the song was then sent to Dylan, asking whether he had a problem with it. The two men agreed to participate in the ownership of the song and share Stewart's royalties.

Wow, that's the first I'd heard of Stewart contacting Dylan and the men agreeing to share Stewart's royalties. That was a real stand-up thing to do. There are so many crooks in the music industry...they plagiarize almost as much as Joe Biden.
