Thank you Bob Seger

[skra75]

I was driving along in my busted '89 Volvo last night, heartbroken and worn out. Tired of all this bullshit and wanting to move on.

I took the Mount Hope Bridge across the bay and onto the island, it was night time and the lights were on, like christmas lights all bright on the cables that went up high into the air.

The sun was going down on the bay. A full orange harvest moon hung there in the sky like a nectarine, on the other side of the water the sun crept under the horizon and made the sky a bright purple.

The tears came out and I let them go. I cranked open my sunroof by hand, heard the rattle of my old engine. I drove along those empty roads, along the cliffs, along the water.

A Bob Seger song rotated into play (Against The Wind). It felt good to hear him again. He's an old friend, an old alchoholic who pulls you up to the bar and tells you it's OK to let it out and it's OK to sit and have an honest cheap beer with him. His words spoke to me like they always have throughout my life.

It's good to hear that somewhere honest, hardworking guys are appreciated. That all this heartbreak and loneliness will pass, and maybe the good guys do finish last, but they still finish none-the-less.

Little victories. (y)

[The Notorious LOL]

I like how that asshole wrote a song about being on tour and being famous and shit. Fuck Bob Seger.

[ET]

You are so fucking emo.

[skra75]

I like how that asshole wrote a song about being on tour and being famous and shit. Fuck Bob Seger.

ahhahah. nice

[abcdefz]

Being on tour, yes. Being famous, no.

[The Notorious LOL]

pointing out that it was about him being on tour rather than being famous somehow makes the song suck less?

[abcdefz]

It's a good song.

[skra75]

Why should we listen to you - your avatar is DMX?:confused:

[HEIRESS]

AINT GOOD LOOKIN'
BUT YOU KNOW I AINT SHY

[abcdefz]

I'd actually have less of a problem with someone ragging on "Against the Wind" than "Turn the Page." One's a cliche that doesn't work, one's a cliche that does.

[HEIRESS]

SO IF YOU NEED SOME LOVIN'
AND YOU NEED IT RIGHT AWAY

[yeahwho]

Not that it has anything to do with anything, other than being annoying, "Night Moves" by Bob Seger is one of the dorkiest songs I like.

I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Aint it funny how the night moves
When you just dont seem to have as much to lose

And only if I can forget he is the one singing it. It begs to be covered.

[skra75]

I listened to all I had last night. We've Got Tonight, Still the Same, Night Moves, Main Street, Roll Me Away.

All except 'Old Time Rock and Roll', 'Cest La Vie', and 'In Your Time'....I don't dig those songs.

[HEIRESS]

opening of night moves gives me shivers every time

not gonna lie to yah

[The Notorious LOL]

Why should we listen to you - your avatar is DMX?:confused:



because DMX is better than Bob Seger, which proves just how shitty he is.

[skra75]

opening of night moves gives me shivers every time

not gonna lie to yah


me too. almost demands you have a cool Pabst Blue Ribbon in your hand.

[abcdefz]

You should hear some of the early stuff, when he was doing the more straightfoward raw R&B. Good stuff!

[SobaViolence]

Seger gon' give it to ya!

[beastiegirrl101]

turn the page man, turn the page.

My Uncle was a Harley rider. They played Bob Seger at his funeral then we followed a big caravan of over 200 hundred harley davidsons.
Nothing wrong with Bob Segar. I love driving to all kinds of music.
My glove compartment has everything from Creedance to Hank Sr.
Nothin like the open road and music.

[skra75]

Hank Sr. is the shit. I love that guy.

[steve-onpoint]

Mahalo, Bob Seger.

[steve-onpoint]

Bless you, Bob Seger.

[Yeti]

Hank Sr. is the shit. I love that guy.

Hank Sr is one of my alltime favorites. Hey Good Lookin' was the 1st dance at my wedding. When I was dating my wife I used to sing it on her answering machine.
Sometimes I wonder why she puts up with a lunatic like me.

[steve-onpoint]

Keep this thread in the number one spot. I'm working on 800 posts in this thread alone.

[steve-onpoint]

bump.

Seger is one of those people who I would swear that I never liked but I seem to have all of his records and the inside sleeves are really messed up -- it's as if the LPs had moved in and out of the outer sleeves on a regular basis. :confused:

I always hated Night Moves. It's the part where he says:

"I was a little too tall
Couldve used a few pounds Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high"

I was a bit delayed in understanding things of a sexual nature. When the song was released, I was deeply embarrassed by the "points all her own sitting way up high" and kids my age would sing it loudly.

I sure loved Her Strut though. And Betty Lou's Going Out Tonight, etc. :rolleyes:

[bigblu89]

My Mom LOVES Bob Seger, so naturally as I kid, I hated him.

Wasn't till about 4 years ago or so I sat and listen to him and though, "you know. this ain't half bad."
