-
in all seriousness, if my mom was in town i'd take her. he's her favorite, along with roy orbison. but since she isn't here, i'll be playing poker that night... and enjoying my last night of youth :)

"Well you know, Iā??m just having a few beers up at the park, rockin' out to Seger...you know the drill."

Hell yeah I'm going.
-
Btw, how is his new album?
-
No idea. I think the last "new" Bob Seger song I've heard was "Like A Rock".
-
Someone on the Drive By Truckers message board listed Bob Seger as one of their top albums of the year for 2006...
Of course the same person also listed Jimmy Buffet and Taylor Hicks as honorable mentions.
-
was said person a midwestern housewife?
-
I don't know, I think it was a guy. I wish I still had the entire list (it's an email forum), but I deleted it. It was quite funny, if you're a music snob.
-
If I knew for certain that "Shakedown" was going to be in the set, I'd consider it.
-
bob seger from 1969-1973 trumps every single hyped-up indie-rock band of the last few years. seriously. post-1973 is another story...
-
I had no idea this show was happening. Is he really popular enough still to play Verizon?
Honestly, I do love Night Moves.

One of my favorite live albums:

If you're collection doesn't include Seger, it needs some checking.
Sidenote, one of the best uses of song in TV was a Bob Seger song in the Wonder Years - "We've Got Tonight" in the episode "The Accident" where Winnie Cooper breaks her leg. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7aq6EFq_38)

We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us to a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said he don't work here
We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin

Can't ya just hear ol' Bob singing that?

sweetcell, my mom's a bob seger fan as well. i remmber buying her his tapes for her birthdays and christmas when i was a kid.
i believe "we've got tonight" was also used in an episode of "life goes on". that family drama from the late 80's, early 90's.
-
My main issue with Bob Seger is he doesn't know how to end a song. They all seem to end the same way, with him reciting the main chorus line over and over until it fades out. That gets old.

The best Bob Seger song:
turn the page... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Q1JR_K3w0)

This episode inspired countless stalkers...

I always thought that song where they say he looks like a woman was kind of funny, given his facial hirsuteness.
-
I think that was the point of the original version Steny: it's an autobiographical take on what it's like to be different (i.e. a long haired rock star on tour)
Here I am - on the road again
There I am - up on the stage
Here I go - playing star again
There I go - turn the page
So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you, as youre shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode
Yeah, most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichs, is it woman? is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, you dont dare make a stand
-
Yes, but whose going to mistake Bob Seger for a chick, unless she's one of those prison chicks you see on MSNBC specials.
Now any number of British singers I could see mistaking for a woman, but not Bob Seger.
-
Bob looked quite a bit different back in the day:

Tho the beard should usually give it away.

He's got more hair on his face than most women have on their crotch these days.

The last time I saw Seger & Silver Bullet live,they were opening for Kiss on the "Destroyer" tour at the Capital Center.....

I saw something really funny years ago. I was driving up Wisconsin Avenue at around 2:30 in the morning, a time of night when the only people on that street are drunk drivers going home to Maryland from the bars of Whore-hey-town. As I approached Tenleytown there was this huge pickup truck barreling down the road ahead of me.
Anyway, we both saw the same thing at the same time -- a slender figure at the side of the road, silhouetted in a streetlamp's glow, long hair flowing in the breeze, thumb held out for a ride.
The truck slammed on its brakes so hard smoke came off the tires, and I had to stop too to avoid hitting it. Then he saw the same thing I did -- the slender figure was a man, with a full beard, looking just like Bob Seger. The truck jammed on the gas and took off just as dramatically as it had stopped, tires peeling as it left the hitchiker behind.
