Like Bob Seger, his classic rock cohort, Steve Miller gets slagged upon mercilessly by the rock hipnoscenti of the world. Like Seger, the bad-mouthing of the Miller brand comes from a number of career transgressions that are considered unforgivable by...
For the rock and roll hipnoscenti, the words "Bob Seger" are classified right next to "disco" and "Manilow" as words that will never cross their lips. Easy enough to justify, I guess: he did that horrid song for the Beverly...
I was eighteen Didn’t have a care Working for peanuts Not a dime to spare But I was lean and Solid everywhere Like a rock – Like A Rock, Bob Seger I think readers of this blog will agree with me when I say that my life has been a roller coaster. Not the ups and the downs, everyone has those, but [...]
Dunno what's up w/ the vid; the song ends at around the 3:00 mark, then there's two minutes of silence. I didn't like the other vids offered, one was a crappy concert recording and at least one other was personalized as a joke. Like I said, it's done with after three minutes. I have a greatest hits of Seger w/ this song on it and love it. One of the comments on this vid was "This was about Johnny...
Many years ago my mother wanted to see Bob Seger when he was in town. While I liked his old stuff, I had never been much of a fan of anything from about Night Moves on. But mom wanted to go, and one of my friends wanted to see him too, so we all got [...]
soon be wandering the way they always do. If your trip to sixteen hours and theres nothing else to do and you do not feel much like riding, you just want to travel through. Say, I'm here, back on the road. I am on stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page. Well, you go to a restaurant, strung from the street, you can feel their eyes on you, like you just signed up with cold, he...
During late 1970s and early 1980s, Bob Seger was a critical and popular rival to Bruce Springsteen, particularly in his native Midwest. But Seger was quiet in the latter half of that decade, emerging in 1991 with the underrated "The Fire Inside." The piano-driven title track is both a sad and optimistic view of life from the then-middle-aged Seger, and it's a song that deserved to be a big...
Bob Seger’s first official crawl through his vaults, Early Seger Vol. 1 (Hideout), is both a blessing and frustration. The second bit first: The album has only 10 tracks, a seemingly random mix of out-of-print orphans and never-issued songs. And none of them are that early. Seger skips over his entire late-Sixties run, on 45 [...]

Simon Mayo's drivetime programme is assured from the outset - unlike another new show on Radio 2 this week, says Elisabeth Mahoney While all ears were trained on Chris Evans and his move to breakfast, Simon Mayo rather more quietly slipped into hosting the Radio 2 drivetime show this week. He'd had plenty of practice in the slot, covering for Evans, but what a difference a sense of ownership makes....
Motor City rock icon Bob Seger passed by hundreds of national and overseas news media members attending Monday's opening day of the North American International Auto Show without a second glance. But he couldn't avoid, and didn't seem to mind, being spotted by former IndyCar driver and high-performance tuning guru Steve Saleen.
Show headlines Motor City rock legend Bob Seger took a cruise of the Detroit auto show Monday, keeping a low profile but finding time to stop by many of the exhibits and ask about the products.
As TBogg points out (and as the Bob Seger song goes ) Harold Ford is running a shakedown of Empire State Dems, and it's not going very well. Shakedown, breakdown... Harold Ford wants the people of New York to know that he’s just like Sarah Palin: a commonsense lone wolf who will not toe the party line. Also, a grifter . Everybody wants into the crowded light... “It’s good to have...
Well, for the past six or eight weeks, perhaps longer, there has been ample negativity around SaabsUnited aimed at General Motors, or, as they are now officially named, Motors Liquidation. I use that new name for a reason. They have a real problem on their hands -- they don't make a profit. In fact, they've made loses for several quarters in a row. How far back this streak of loses goes it's hard to...
