Roger Hodgson (Supertramp lead singer & songwriter) wrote this hit when he was still in his teens, before he even met Rick and co-founded Supertramp. This classic is just as relevant today as it was when it was released. Roger won the Ivor Novello Award from The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters for The Logical Song being named the best song both musically and lyrically. It also has the distinction of becoming one of the most quoted lyrics in schools.
The Logical Song is from the Breakfast in America album and on Roger’s new Classics Live CD. You can download a copy of The Logical Song at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/clas… or treat yourself to the DVD of this performancehttp://www.rogerhodgsonstore.com/cate…. Roger’s first ever DVD from one of his live solo concerts in Canada, “Take the Long Way Home — Live in Montreal,” went Platinum in just seven weeks and hit #1 in all of Canada and is now multi-Platinum and Gold in France and Germany.
Roger performs his songs in a variety of formats so you can see him at an acoustic show, band show or orchestra. I love them all.
Here’s what peoples say about his concerts:
“His voice is still in great shape, and I’d even say that his performance has gotten even better with the years. Always smiling, he looks like he’s gotten to a point in his life where he’s enjoying and living the moment.”
“There’s no other artist I can think of that can do what Roger can do- get up on stage with just one other guy and touch people like this. What Roger does is unique.”
“… what a magical show, Roger put Heart, Soul, and Voice into the word Musicianship. His performance left me stunned…gave me shivers and put tears in my eyes…”
The Roger Hodgson Store is the only place you can buy directly from the artist and get his autographed CD’s. Visithttp://www.RogerHodgsonStore.com

always enjoyed it during its time of popularity….today also!!!!!
The Logical Song is one of my all-time favorites from Roger Hodgson, co-founder and voice of the band. It’s amazing how relevant the lyrics are today, all these years after the song’s 1979 release. Be sure to catch Roger on his tour this year. I have seen him several times and without fail, before the show is over I am already greatly looking forward to the next time. Each show is unique and so very special in its own way. See the singer/songwriter of Supertramp’s greatest hits – Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer, and so many more! Check out this video from Roger’s YouTube channel – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tODaH_fGtMY. Tour dates are on Events on Roger’s Facebook page – https://www.Facebook.com/RogerHodgson. If you were or are a fan of Supertramp, you’ve got to see Roger in concert. I can’t recommended it enough.
