I work my back ’til it’s racked with pain, the boss can’t even recall my name.

Bob Seger

It was 22 years of work in a row, right up until 1987. Twenty-two years in a row-either on tour, writing an album, or recording an album. It wasn’t until 1987 that I was able to take a breath.

Recording Tour Two Writing Years

Choices Country Fun

Tell them we’ll be dancing, dancing ’til we drop, it’s time to get down and do the Horizontal Bop.

I like people to just bring it to the table and feel the moment. And that’s why I’ve never done a session where I don’t sing live.

Every now and then you’ll nail one that’s really, really special. And that’s what you live for.

Stood alone on a mountain top, starin’ out at the Great Divide. I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide. Just then I saw a young hawk flyin’ and my soul began to rise.
BOB SEGER

Mountain Philosophy Soul
Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton, Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh, they’re heroic or pathetic depending on which book you buy.

Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.

I’ve never been unhappy with Capitol. Not really. They’ve been really good by me.
BOB SEGER

Capitol never People Unhappy
Deep in my soul, I’ve been so lonely, all of my hopes fading away. I’ve longed for love, like everyone else does, I know I’ll keep searching after today.
