Bob Seger at 61, on tour again, with a new album, played in New York with the Silver Bullet Band.
You remember…Tom Cruise lip synching in his underwear to “Old Time Rock and Roll”…THAT Bob Seger. Definitely not the Motown sound….more like the Motor City sound…white rock and roll..
Even in the 1970s, Mr. Seger’s songs were about how fogies could continue to feel like rockers. “Night Moves,” “Mainstreet” and “Against the Wind” are about memories of being young. “Old Time Rock & Roll” and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets” are about being untrendy and proud of it. For Mr. Seger, oldies date to rock’s early years; he looked back to Chuck Berry songs from the 1950s, playing them (“C’est la Vie”) and openly emulating them (“Katmandu”).
always nostalgic…so now at 61, he’s still nostalgic. If he comes to the Bay Area, I’ll offer him a ride in my old Chevelle.
