    I read the comments below and I feel so young. Just turned 58. 1981 my mom made me go on a business trip with her and I was stuck in the hotel while she was in meetings. The second day I looked out the window and there was a tour bus there that had along the side Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band. I was a fan and I went out there and Bob was getting off the bus and we talked for 10-15 minutes. He gave me a tour of the bus and I got his autograph. He was so nice and kind to a teenager. I never thanked him. I was in awe and I forgot. I have loved his music from the 70's until now. Thank you sir for being to kind to me.

    I was in Vietnam serving with the Mobile Riverine Force, 1968-‘69. It was during the TET offensive. I was 19. I still remember the many that died there. I came back to the World and went to college. It was so hard as I had to face demons alone. Somehow I managed to get my life together. This song epitomizes much of my life. God be with those that never came back.

You are among the so very rare who have been simultaneously cursed and blessed. May you find some small measure of peace which so many seek and so few ever find.

Loved this movie, it really about life & how hard it is sometime. Today is May 9. 2024. Love you all and Pray GOD can forgive me of all of my sins. I was a late in life learning about our LORD JESUS & learning how wonderful he is, giving his life , shedding his blood for all our sins, I was a horrible person and just pray I can help someone come to CHRIST before it’s too late. If anyone is reading this GOD BLESS YOU & hope you have a great relationship with our HEAVENLY FATHER, LORD JESUS & have the HOLY SPIRIT. The HOLY SPIRIT helps with all my bipolar depression. God BLESS.❤️

We had to protest the phony war against Vietnam, as a 17 yr old I was worried about being conscripted to fight against an unknown “enemy” that is now a popular tourist attraction. All because of the conservatives in govt in Australia. We voted against the conservatives after decades of rule and the new party brought our troops home and saved my arse. Conservatives are against freedom.

    My brother was a student at East Detroit High School and a part of the school's audio and visual department. In order to raise money for newer equipment, they decided to have a concert at the school with a local performer, Bob Seger. The concert didn't go as planned as only a few hundred tickets were sold for what they had hoped to be a two-thousand-seat packed house. Two weeks later, Against the Wind was released and being played on-air around the country. The ten dollars tickets at the High School would be fifty-dollar tickets at future Bob Seger concerts!

    Thank you for your service! I missed the Vietnam draft by three years and I am glad but I would have went if my country called me....

    I am also 76, and have always been running against the wind, "Wish l didn't know now, what l didn't know then"

    Amazing how we aged with Bob. Time flys. He's still a great. At time winds away, please all come to Jesus. You don't need a church. You need Jesus.

    I first played this song on the radio in the 1970s on WIOQ in Philadelphia, and I didn’t realize at the time that I was actually living those lyrics. Fortunately, after I got out of the radio business, I trusted in Christ as my savior in 1993, and ever since then I’ve been running with the wind at my back. Thank you Bob, for the music.

    Where I grew up, we didn't have many radio options. Then the Army mid-70's.
    Finally there were CD's!
    I agree with all of the above.
    God Bless America while we still can.

      Music can heal and sooth the soul. It brings moments back that are needed for such repair.

      Hang in there buddy. We all carry our scars, it comes with the territory. A lot of us are searching for shelter again and again, against the wind.
      A little something against the wind.

    Bob Seger is a part of all my life. His music has been there for me since I was a teenager in the 70s to now at 66. He is one of the greats. Thank you, sir, for just being here.
