Wait till you’re 76. You reflect on even people not things. Music pulls me back to the era it was made. The fifties and early 60s family, Vietnam my Marine buddies, 70s the start of my marriage, 80/90s my kids music, and now after 50 years of marriage I can relive the people I love in each time period. Thank you for taking me back with your reflections.
Seger was equally perfect in concert--sounded every bit as great as his recordings, all without autotune and no lip synching. At 61 he was still running up and down the stage during his performances....absolutely two of the best concerts I ever got to see.
I was able to see 5 concerts. My Sister and Father saw 6 concerts. All over a 30 year span. Bob Seger is part of my life. Always has been and always will be. It is a family affair with me. I am blessed.
100, Having an eidetic memory; I hate covers and live performances because it doesn't match the time signature, Bob Seager almost never had that problem, very few artists can keep Rythm with No metronome. lol
I was fortunate enough to have seen him live twice, the first time was front row tickets I won on a radio contest. It was amazing! I was so close I could see the red Levi’s tag on his jeans! 😂
It's funny you say how you're beginning to notice music everywhere. I honestly, in my heart believe that music can unite people. We can all find common ground and a shared history.
I only heard both of those about a million times 'cause in the mid '80s they were played over and over every night in every topless bar from coast to coast!💯🤣❤️✌️
Not Bob Seger, but I gotta add one more song to the nostalgia list. Don Henley - The Boys of Summer. As a kid, it wasn't bad. As an adult, it grabs me, every time.
Im 56. I grew up in MI. I still have a cabin in Northern MI. When Uncle Bob comes on, you turn it up, and recall. Go to the woods, the lake, the river, the fishin hole, the cornfield, the bondfire, and chill with Bob.
My favorite Bob Seger song is Against the Wind. Beautiful song with the best line ever "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." How true in life. 😢
You are correct Chevy trucks used the Like a Rock in their commericals for many years. When Chevy first approached Bob about using his song in their ads he said no. However After speaking to a plant worker for GM, Seger had a change of heart as he was reminded of his own time working for the car company. He relented and "Like a Rock" became the official anthem of Chevy trucks from 1991 to 2014. Bob was from the Detroit area, and always wanted to do what he could to suport the local workers. Bob has a very deep and full catalouge of songs to explore. One of the best singer songwriters of his or any other generation. THe best thing you can say about any singer/songwriter. There is not such thing as a bad Bob Seger Song. Hollywood Nights, Her Strut, The Famous Final Scene, Feel like a Number, and Beautiful Loser are some that I think you might connect with.
Bob's voice and lyrics can paint a picture in your mind like no other. Put all of his songs on little pieces of paper, put them in a hat, pull one out, it's a hit. "Where did the time go?" Brother, with your b-day coming up, you are a week younger than my youngest. I can't tell you where the time went.
When I heard the truck commercial I thought "Oh my God! No No! Do not cheapen and abuse this amazing song!!!" as I get older I change the words " 20 years,where;d they go? " to 30 years now 40 years
I just turned 75 a couple of days ago. I, a US Army Paratrooper and wore the coveted Green Beret. Now, I have problems getting into my truck... where has time gone? That is why this song is so loved by me and I play it a lot... to remember...
Bob Seger. My all time favorite performer. Times of reflection, times of romance, times of road trips... all accompanied by Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band.
Bob Seger was the Simone Biles of the music scene in his day. His support of the Michigan auto industry (he was born in Detroit) was how Chevrolet was able to use this song in their ads. He also gave a large chunk of the money he was paid to the auto workers fund. Solid Michigan guy who never forgot his roots. Solid man, solid music, period.
This song was 💯 in a Chevrolet commercial! It's all I can picture when I hear this song! Kinda like The Allman Brothers song Midnight Rider in the Geico commercial! 😆 U should definitely check out more Bob! Old Time Rock and Roll is a whole different vibe than what u have heard so far!
A few of my favoirte Bob Seger songs: Against the Wind Her Sturt Old Time Rocking Roll If you get a chance check out the The Allman Brothers Band - Soulshine - sure it will make your playlist
He actually worked in a GM plant before he, "made it". Certainly one of my all time favorite songs. The older you get the more it means to you. I'm a 75yo container with a 39yo inside. Well... occasionally a 12yo is inside it. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Bob Seger :Feel like A Number". That's how I felt when I first went over seas after joining the Marine Corps. Played it over and over on the juke box.....
Seger didn't get paid much for the commercial. He did it because he was from Detroit and the American car industry, mostly from Motor City, was hurting. His backup band is called the Silver Bullet Band, and he turned down a lotmore money from Coor's Light (the "Silver Bullet") because he didn't want to "sell out..."
Bob Seger transcends age groups. Something in all of his songs hits home. But this one....wow. There was a time I was like a rock. We can all remember those days. I took my inlaws to a concert of his a few years ago. Watching them sing and dance along was amazing.
I think a lot of rap/hip hop fans are not aware of how deep many of the classic rock lyrics are. Yeah, it wasn't just screaming guitars; they had stories to tell back in the day too. Many of the reactors are too young to really feel this song. Glad you felt this one.
Seger is one of what some critics call the "Heartland Rockers," guys with a working class attitude, sometimes but not always from the Midwest. Seger and Springsteen are perfect examples, along with John Mellencamp and Michael Stanley.
If you want to think about the people and places that formed you, grab some beers, sit back on the porch, and put on Bob Seger. All the people and all the places will come back. Raise a toast to their memory and be thankful they were there for you.
This guy really gets this song. Anyone can enjoy it, but men of a certain age can’t help but be moved by it. It’s a masterpiece, plain and simple-one of the purest and most honest songs ever.
Time moves on. Its one of the few things we cant control or manipulate. Memories come back as we grow and we see where we were or how we have changed. This song is really deep and Bob tells this story so well. I am 58 and I remember those days as a 18 yo .I still stand for my beliefs, i just stand slower and take pain meds to do it lol. Bob Seger makes you think and i love his music. Great reaction, keep em coming and happy Birthday :)
Quite possibly the greatest storyteller in rock history. If you want to react to more of Bob (and I know you do), write his extensive catalog of hits on a board, close your eyes & throw a dart--you can't go wrong with any of 'em!
Bro! You brought tears to my eyes on your reaction! Bo’s Seger is a national treasure. You may be late to the game because this is before your time. Welcome to the club young man! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!!
We played this at my dad’s funeral. He worked for Ford for 39 years and he was my families rock for sure. Bob Seger doesn’t live that far from me, in Michigan.
This song is one of my favorite songs ever, and it has been since I was a preteen. Having more comprehension of the lyrics as a middle-aged person now, I just love it more. This song reminds me so much of my late husband, who passed away at just 45 yrs old.
OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL...HER STRUT...AGAINST THE WIND....FIRE LAKE....WE'VE GOT TONIGHT...Just a few of the songs you should check out. But. Really. any song you pick is a gem!!! Bob Seger has always been my favorite of all time.
I wore out my Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet' Greatest Live CD. EVERY song was on target with music, lyrics, and emotion. Each one seems to be "strumming my life" or breaking my heart or stirring the soul of me.
I'm 60 now. This is the music I grew up with. Our generation's music had SO MUCH MEANING AND SUBSTANCE compared to most of the drivel being put out today with very few exceptions.
The girls in the background was Martha Wash and the absolutely beautiful and incomparable alto singer; the late great Izora Armstead. She had an Angel voice that could move a real man to tears.
It’s amazing how these icons like Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Billy Joel, Jon BonJovi, and others I’m not immediately recalling, all have vast musical catalogues from hit songs they wrote from their own imagination or their own experience. True artists and poets.
Oh! another piece of gold. "Foghat" slow ride "Triumph" Lay it on the line @rosemont horizon theater Chicago1983, Oh the concerts, the records, the tapes, the disks, the play lists, The music never stops...it's always in my head
Bob seger is an absolute legend and American treasure. He has somebody great songs that are simply perfectly written, composed, and performed. Like a rock, Hollywood nights, main Street, night moves, against the wind, roll me away.... And trust me, as you move beyond the age of 40 and into your early / mid-50s ... Like I'm doing now ... Especially if you have children... Bob's songs will hit differently and even harder
Bob Seger represents the heart and soul of Detroit, that's why this song was chosen for a Chevy truck commercial. Just like Chrysler used Eminem's Lose Yourself. Turn The Page, Shakedown, Come To Poppa, Her Strut, Old Time Rock And Roll, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, the list of Seger classics goes on...
Bob Seger and Johnny Cash are the two storytellers of music if you ask me. I can name four or five other absolutely amazing ones right now but something about Bob Seger and Johnny Cash can paint a picture better than anybody. There are plenty of good other storytellers but some of them just rise to the top.
Bob Seger is absolute gold. He's the real deal and I'm so pleased, really, so please you're making this discovery . i wish i could live over the times he was brand new on the radio
Seger is one of the best to come out of the 70's. In concert, he sounds exactly the same as you hear now. My personal favorite is 'Roll Me Away'..but the list is long. He's the bomb!
I listened to Seger all through high school and have never stopped. Sometimes, nothing moves me like some of his songs. Against The Wind is one of greatest!
Seger makes you THINK! His songs speak of everyman. You can’t listen to his songs and not remember things that are personal to you and your own life. The years of 17-21 are a magical time in the lives of most Americans. These are the years of our rebirth, a time where we debut as adults. We always remember those days when we grew from school kids living the curriculum of parents and teachers, and spread our wings into what we hoped for of our own lives. These times were made of autonomy, decisions made, failures and successes, plans and spontaneity living side by side, but everything lived in a time when our lives were still FUN! We weren't tired. We weren't burnt out. We were too young to feel like failures. The world was ours to conquer. Seger's songs harness the emotion of those times and carry us back to those magical moments and poignant memories like few artists can. The qualities this song hails in a man are PERFECT to attach to a product you want people to feel will be an extension of themselves and will last for decades. It was a "solid" advertising investment for a company whose product they want people to equate to the strengths of a young man in his prime. Seger may not have written this song about a material object, but he likely wouldn't have licensed it out without being comfortable with the parallels between its original intent and its product-based rebirth. Seger's lyrics don't impress me as words written by someone who would turn into a sellout. Seger can akways make us feel special by taking us back to a time when we KNEW the world lay at our feet. Now that the long walk of life has our feet aching a little, it's important to remember artists like Seger who can transport us back to those easier times just by listening to a song.
I’ve been into everything from rock to metal to folk to rap since the 80s and Bob Seger is one of my favorites. I saw his in concert in the mid 80s then numerous times over the last 12 years. He was perfect every time and an absolute gem of a human being. He allowed Chevrolet to use this song as a means to support the factory workers in Detroit and it was very successful.
He was selling out stadiums but stopped touring to help raise his son & daughter who are now a DC doctor & lawyer, and he went back on tour in his seventies, his songs are like poems. Hes definitely one of the greatest of our generation. Next you should review " Roll me away" especially if you like motorcycles!
Wait till you’re 76. You reflect on even people not things. Music pulls me back to the era it was made. The fifties and early 60s family, Vietnam my Marine buddies, 70s the start of my marriage, 80/90s my kids music, and now after 50 years of marriage I can relive the people I love in each time period.

Welcome home.✌
Thank You for your service My 18 yr.old brother was a marine killed in 68 Vietnam
Thank you for your service and sharing your experience.
Well said, Steve!! I TOTALLY AGREE!!! Thank You for Your Service, Sir! :) ENJOY THE JAMS!!
@@holliday0191 RIP Memory Eternal. Thanks to your family for your sacrifice. God bless.
Bob Seger doesn't have a bad song . His catalog of bangers is epic.He feels every word he sings and you will too.
Seger was equally perfect in concert--sounded every bit as great as his recordings, all without autotune and no lip synching. At 61 he was still running up and down the stage during his performances....absolutely two of the best concerts I ever got to see.
Yes sir, and as you probably know, many of those live performances ended up on the albums.
I was able to see 5 concerts. My Sister and Father saw 6 concerts. All over a 30 year span. Bob Seger is part of my life. Always has been and always will be. It is a family affair with me. I am blessed.

Saw him in 1975 Live at Hulman Center in 1975 and have been mesmerized by his music since!
All you need is LIVE BULLET ALBUM Bob Seger must be enjoyed live
Nine tonight is the best live album I have ever heard. I hope you have heard it.
Live Bullet and Nine Tonight are the 2 best albums ever recorded, IMO.
"shit, i've known that for ten years!"
@@zzz7zzz9 shit I've known that for 10 years!!! 😂 the most classic line EVER 😂
@@zzz7zzz9 I saw what you did there
I'm 87 and bob seger still has the best music.
I'm 65 and still remember telling my brother when we were in our 20's that Bob Seger was the best story teller ever. I still feel that way.
Bob is a great storyteller,but don't forget to include Billy Joel in that list!🎹🎙🎶
Great American singer songwriter.
It's funny you say how you're beginning to notice music everywhere. I honestly, in my heart believe that music can unite people. We can all find common ground and a shared history.
Absolutely it’s the universal language. Every human no matter race country whatever can enjoy. It’s definitely a way of communication and love.
That's what MJ said and believed. And we had the music to unite around.
Yeah, wishing. ALOT of young people are too dumb and don't have the drive or only choice to actually have to live
Amen
Absolutely 💯
Bob Seger never disappoints. One of the best, most consistent singer/songwriters ever.
Bob Seger is the G.O.A.T. of nostalgia songs that make you think of your past. Just for fun try Come To Papa or Her Strut.
I only heard both of those about a million times 'cause in the mid '80s they were played over and over every night in every topless bar from coast to coast!💯🤣❤️✌️
Not Bob Seger, but I gotta add one more song to the nostalgia list. Don Henley - The Boys of Summer. As a kid, it wasn't bad. As an adult, it grabs me, every time.
Im 56. I grew up in MI. I still have a cabin in Northern MI. When Uncle Bob comes on, you turn it up, and recall. Go to the woods, the lake, the river, the fishin hole, the cornfield, the bondfire, and chill with Bob.
64 here and calling him Uncle Bob means something to us!
Grew up in northern MI and Bob Seger always reminds me of home.
Nice!!!!!
54 Michigan 🎶🤍
Hello fellow MI friends !
My favorite Bob Seger song is Against the Wind. Beautiful song with the best line ever "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." How true in life. 😢
My favorite line as well,
Yeah, that one is incredible
Bob Seger is the KING of reminiscing songs, always makes you think back to your youth....
My favorite by Bob Seger is Night moves, it's a must hear❤❤
Absolutely!! 🔥
Turn the Page is up there too.
The older you gets, the harder this hits. Keep cruisin', Brother.
You are correct Chevy trucks used the Like a Rock in their commericals for many years.
When Chevy first approached Bob about using his song in their ads he said no.
However
After speaking to a plant worker for GM, Seger had a change of heart as he was reminded of his own time working for the car company. He relented and "Like a Rock" became the official anthem of Chevy trucks from 1991 to 2014.

Bob has a very deep and full catalouge of songs to explore. One of the best singer songwriters of his or any other generation. THe best thing you can say about any singer/songwriter. There is not such thing as a bad Bob Seger Song.
Hollywood Nights, Her Strut, The Famous Final Scene, Feel like a Number, and Beautiful Loser are some that I think you might connect with.
Detroit home of many great artists.
He just rocks.
Bob's voice and lyrics can paint a picture in your mind like no other. Put all of his songs on little pieces of paper, put them in a hat, pull one out, it's a hit.
"Where did the time go?" Brother, with your b-day coming up, you are a week younger than my youngest. I can't tell you where the time went.

Turn the Page is another good one of his. In my opinion. But he's got quite a few that I love.
I definitely agree with you.
Jodie Girl, Travelin' Man and Beautiful Loser...
Bob Seger is 79 years old today. Happy Birthday Bob
Bob Seger. My all time favorite performer. Times of reflection, times of romance, times of road trips... all accompanied by Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band.

If I could only listen to one artist's music for all my remaining years, it would definitely be Bob Seger.
I would too! ❤
And the eagles for group!
I have always been a Bob Seger fan. This is one of many fantastic songs by him.
One of his best songs is "Shame on The Moon"
Beautiful song with real thoughts
A few of my favoirte Bob Seger songs:
Against the Wind
Her Sturt
Old Time Rocking Roll
If you get a chance check out the The Allman Brothers Band - Soulshine - sure it will make your playlist
Roll Me Away needs to be your next Bob Seger reaction.
Yes! My favorite ❤
He actually worked in a GM plant before he, "made it".
Certainly one of my all time favorite songs. The older you get the more it means to you.
I'm a 75yo container with a 39yo inside. Well... occasionally a 12yo is inside it.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Bob Seger is one of the legends! Happy almost birthday.✌️

Had the pleasure of seeing Bob Seger in concert it was unbelievable! He is the best story in his music.
Love Bob Seger, Old Time Rock and Roll is another great song to check out
Bob is the Best!! He's from Michigan and we love him still!!
Bob Seger transcends age groups. Something in all of his songs hits home. But this one....wow. There was a time I was like a rock. We can all remember those days. I took my inlaws to a concert of his a few years ago. Watching them sing and dance along was amazing.

He had many excellent songs. My favourite is still Against The Wind
Almost 59million views..WORD UP
BOB is so great. Aldean night train,tge truth, a segar lover
Seger is one of what some critics call the "Heartland Rockers," guys with a working class attitude, sometimes but not always from the Midwest. Seger and Springsteen are perfect examples, along with John Mellencamp and Michael Stanley.
One of the best lyricists and storytellers ever!
The best voice, storyteller, and songwriter of All Time!!! Not one of his songs will ever disappoint!!!!!!
If you want to think about the people and places that formed you, grab some beers, sit back on the porch, and put on Bob Seger.
All the people and all the places will come back. Raise a toast to their memory and be thankful they were there for you.
This guy really gets this song. Anyone can enjoy it, but men of a certain age can’t help but be moved by it. It’s a masterpiece, plain and simple-one of the purest and most honest songs ever.
Forever Playlist! Uncle Bob snagged another one.
Bonus points if you caught his album titles in the lyrics!
Time moves on. Its one of the few things we cant control or manipulate. Memories come back as we grow and we see where we were or how we have changed. This song is really deep and Bob tells this story so well. I am 58 and I remember those days as a 18 yo .I still stand for my beliefs, i just stand slower and take pain meds to do it lol. Bob Seger makes you think and i love his music. Great reaction, keep em coming and happy Birthday :)
Everything an American rock artist should be, he is all of it!
Quite possibly the greatest storyteller in rock history. If you want to react to more of Bob (and I know you do), write his extensive catalog of hits on a board, close your eyes & throw a dart--you can't go wrong with any of 'em!
Bob stated he made a mint from the Chevrolet commercial. Way more than the airplay and publishing it rights.
Can't go wrong with Bob! Every song is 🔥!!!
I can’t add anything to Bob Seger except thank you
Yes, thank you very much
Was lucky enough to see him in concert. One the best live bands
This song hits hard when your best years feel 20+ years behind you.
Bro! You brought tears to my eyes on your reaction! Bo’s Seger is a national treasure. You may be late to the game because this is before your time. Welcome to the club young man! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!!
I'm loving you hitting all these songs from way back. You wonder where 20 went, I'm looking for 40+.
Music is everywhere. Thank god. Music makes this world better.
We played this at my dad’s funeral. He worked for Ford for 39 years and he was my families rock for sure. Bob Seger doesn’t live that far from me, in Michigan.
It pleases me so much to hear how much you love him. Ive loved him since I was a kid, but not many other kids in my school did. ❤
This song is one of my favorite songs ever, and it has been since I was a preteen. Having more comprehension of the lyrics as a middle-aged person now, I just love it more. This song reminds me so much of my late husband, who passed away at just 45 yrs old.
Old time rock ‘n’ roll
OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL...HER STRUT...AGAINST THE WIND....FIRE LAKE....WE'VE GOT TONIGHT...Just a few of the songs you should check out. But. Really. any song you pick is a gem!!! Bob Seger has always been my favorite of all time.
I wore out my Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet' Greatest Live CD. EVERY song was on target with music, lyrics, and emotion. Each one seems to be "strumming my life" or breaking my heart or stirring the soul of me.
He does a good cover of Tina and Ike Turner's Nutbush City Limits
Banger
Thank you thank you thank you. Check out Old Time Rock and Roll. It's a great song. PS. Running against the Wind is also definitely worth checking out
Yes, most definitely I 100% agree
both songs are great
Bob Seger for me is the perfect one to hit the road for a long travel. Try "Still The Same".
I'm 60 now. This is the music I grew up with. Our generation's music had SO MUCH MEANING AND SUBSTANCE compared to most of the drivel being put out today with very few exceptions.
I'm in tears, remembering the 70's with every summer with friends and a Bob Seger conterts
😢 I feel you
Bob Seger was 41 when this song was released.
Chevy's "Like a Rock" was the best ad campaign ever.
The girls in the background was Martha Wash and the absolutely beautiful and incomparable alto singer; the late great Izora Armstead. She had an Angel voice that could move a real man to tears.
Bob Seger is a A Rock Legend!!!
Love his music this generation's music is The Greatest !
It’s amazing how these icons like Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Billy Joel, Jon BonJovi, and others I’m not immediately recalling, all have vast musical catalogues from hit songs they wrote from their own imagination or their own experience. True artists and poets.
Been used in commercials. They did hes beautiful. Beautiful voice. So strong and masculine. Made me melt. Not many men can do that . But that voice
One of the best story tellers of our time!
He is a goat ! Love everything about this song !
Happy birthday young man!!! LOVE your reactions, thanks for all you do...
He does fast paced music as well. My FAVORITE Bob Seger song is Katmandu. Live of course.
Oh! another piece of gold. "Foghat" slow ride "Triumph" Lay it on the line @rosemont horizon theater Chicago1983, Oh the concerts, the records, the tapes, the disks, the play lists, The music never stops...it's always in my head
Roll me away. good story.
Every time I hear that song, I want to hop on the bike and just pick a direction.
I haven’t watched yet, but I’ll bet this goes on your playlist
Oh my goodness, this brings back so many memories, I saw Bob Seger in concert when I was 16, love every song he sung
Late 70’s we’re a special time. My boyfriend at the time had a sister who worked at the Drive In, those were the best days of my life
That's what you call great advertising! 30 years I too think of those Chevy Truck commercials every time I hear this song.
Bob seger is an absolute legend and American treasure. He has somebody great songs that are simply perfectly written, composed, and performed.
Like a rock, Hollywood nights, main Street, night moves, against the wind, roll me away....
And trust me, as you move beyond the age of 40 and into your early / mid-50s ... Like I'm doing now ... Especially if you have children... Bob's songs will hit differently and even harder
Love Bob Seger, wore out my 8 track listening to him in the late’70s. My favorite song of his is Against the Wind.
loved Bob Segar, and the Silver Bullet band, Tom Petty and the Heart breakers. so many good bands back then.
Bob Seger represents the heart and soul of Detroit, that's why this song was chosen for a Chevy truck commercial. Just like Chrysler used Eminem's Lose Yourself. Turn The Page, Shakedown, Come To Poppa, Her Strut, Old Time Rock And Roll, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, the list of Seger classics goes on...
Bob Seger and Johnny Cash are the two storytellers of music if you ask me. I can name four or five other absolutely amazing ones right now but something about Bob Seger and Johnny Cash can paint a picture better than anybody. There are plenty of good other storytellers but some of them just rise to the top.
Bob Seger is absolute gold. He's the real deal and I'm so pleased, really, so please you're making this discovery . i wish i could live over the times he was brand new on the radio
Always has been the GOAT.. I just wish he made more music... Almost everything he ever made is in my forever..
Seger is one of the best to come out of the 70's. In concert, he sounds exactly the same as you hear now.
My personal favorite is 'Roll Me Away'..but the list is long.
He's the bomb!
I listened to Seger all through high school and have never stopped. Sometimes, nothing moves me like some of his songs. Against The Wind is one of greatest!
Old time rock and roll....watch all the geezers run to the dance floor...best song ever!!!
Seger makes you THINK! His songs speak of everyman. You can’t listen to his songs and not remember things that are personal to you and your own life.
The years of 17-21 are a magical time in the lives of most Americans. These are the years of our rebirth, a time where we debut as adults. We always remember those days when we grew from school kids living the curriculum of parents and teachers, and spread our wings into what we hoped for of our own lives. These times were made of autonomy, decisions made, failures and successes, plans and spontaneity living side by side, but everything lived in a time when our lives were still FUN! We weren't tired. We weren't burnt out. We were too young to feel like failures. The world was ours to conquer. Seger's songs harness the emotion of those times and carry us back to those magical moments and poignant memories like few artists can.
The qualities this song hails in a man are PERFECT to attach to a product you want people to feel will be an extension of themselves and will last for decades. It was a "solid" advertising investment for a company whose product they want people to equate to the strengths of a young man in his prime. Seger may not have written this song about a material object, but he likely wouldn't have licensed it out without being comfortable with the parallels between its original intent and its product-based rebirth. Seger's lyrics don't impress me as words written by someone who would turn into a sellout.
Seger can akways make us feel special by taking us back to a time when we KNEW the world lay at our feet. Now that the long walk of life has our feet aching a little, it's important to remember artists like Seger who can transport us back to those easier times just by listening to a song.
I've been in love with Bob Seger since the 70s. He is the goat. Seen him live 6 times. Try Feel Like a Number. A real banger.
If you ever get the opportunity to see him live. GO!!!!! I've been to quite a numbers of concerts in my day, his show ranks in my top 5.
❤At 78 this year will be hi last tour 2024.
He deserves to retire.
I’ve been into everything from rock to metal to folk to rap since the 80s and Bob Seger is one of my favorites. I saw his in concert in the mid 80s then numerous times over the last 12 years. He was perfect every time and an absolute gem of a human being. He allowed Chevrolet to use this song as a means to support the factory workers in Detroit and it was very successful.
I saw his very final concert in Philadelphia after 50 years of wanting to see him and he was so good. He has so much fun on stage. A REAL icon.
He was selling out stadiums but stopped touring to help raise his son & daughter who are now a DC doctor & lawyer, and he went back on tour in his seventies, his songs are like poems. Hes definitely one of the greatest of our generation. Next you should review " Roll me away" especially if you like motorcycles!
