If he does the Live Bullet album, and just the Live Bullet album, I'll get a ticket.
Me? I think he can make a comeback tour but except for Roll Me Away, I wasn't much of a fan of his stuff after Live Bullet.

I'm not doubting his ability to come back, but I'm more of a fan of his catalog pre-Silver Bullet Band.

I had the biggest crush on Bob Seger.... saw him a few times. For the most part, the bands and singers I loved back then either aren't together or have lost their voices. I would see Carlos Santana because that guy can jam a guitar. I am fine with my CD's and memories.
A pre-national-fame Seger (think pre-Silver Bullet Band) touched down in my high-school gym for a show back in the Fall of 1973. Back then, we only knew him as the dood who sang great local singles like "Heavy Music," "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," "Lucifer," and "2+2=?". We had no idea he'd blow up. Great show.
Read the thread because I liked Seger, then had a flashback. Ah, the fall of '73. Brings back memories of good rock and hitch-hiking and going braless and having sex without fear and not having our every move policed. Good times gone.

Can you imagine carrying around a cell phone back then, so your parents could track you down any time, day or night? Fuck that noise...

Could you imagine holding up a cell phone for an encore instead of burning your thumb holding up a lighter? And Scout, at least the music is still here.
i just saw a pic of ol bob in rolling stone this month. he looks like someone's uncle or a science teacher. i do like his insistence on not re-releasing old albums under lame box set format just for more jack

No, Barb, because these days that is a rock-n-roll attitude. :(
Once upon a time, a rock and roll attitude would have been setting off the fire alarm because you knew that detention wasn't so bad.
The once-upon-a-time rock and roll musicians only existed because there wasn't a lawman and a lawyer and a photographer lying in wait to stifle their freedom. No one worried about doing LSD or cocaine or smoking pot or having group sex. Or anything, really. That freedom made the music great. My son and his friends like old rock, and I think that's why. These poor kids today who do the same things as the once-upon-a-timers get put in jail and have their lives ruined. Hell, .08 on the breathalyzer these days brands you as an alcoholic and suspends your license. You get a ticket for not wearing a fucking seat belt. Yes, we can still listen to the music, but the free spirit's been broken.

Amen, sister, amen...

But I was watching that and thinking about how today's rock is so filtered, sterilized, created to be okay for the masses. Blech.

According to Keef's autobiography, "Life," they WERE on them, from Arkansas to Zanzibar but through a combination of shithouse luck and great counsel, they were able to carry on.

Anyone else thinking that legalizing pot would be a good thing? Lots of tax money, and fewer good guys in jail.
If it were up to me, yeah. Same with prostitution.

There was a time when Bob Seger wailed like a cat passing a gallstone and his songs would never be mistaken for a truck commercial. Years before he was whisked off to fame as a 10-years-in-the-making, overnight-success story, he was more than capable of tough, hostile, snarl-toothed Detroit street rawk, blowzy big-beat R&B, and raw garageland punk when the mood suited him. No, I haven’t been drinking.
Now? Not so much I suspect.
