From rock to pop, Stewart survived the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s and is still going strong. “He has staying power with so many hits,” said Keith Pellegrini, promotions director for WMMQ (94.9-FM). “A show like this is going to be two hours of hits.” Even though Stewart just released a new album, “Human,” Pellegrini thinks the concert will consist mostly of classics. “I would say Rod’s shows now are just all hits,” he said.

The party’s new status means it can accept $20,000 a year per donor, and use the money toward state and local party committees.
