There is a signature richness and power to the music that Bob Seger has been making for four decades, and as succeeding generations have discovered those qualities, his reputation as an artist and songwriter has only grown. His work represents the honest best of what rock & roll can be. Its passionate, unpretentious, uplifting and true to itself and its audience. Perhaps most of all it is distinctly American, a plainspoken testament to the dignity, hopes and aspirations of ordinary working people. In a time as obsessed with glamour, celebrity, fame and materialism as ours, his songs remain a bracing tonic, an emblem of the belief that everyones life is a worthy subject of art.
Thats one of the reasons why Segers songs have lasted so well and continue to be so well-loved. His Greatest Hits collection has sold more than seven million copies, and albums like Beautiful Loser (1975), Live Bullet (1976), Night Moves (1976), Stranger in Town (1978), Against the Wind (1980) and Nine Tonight (1981) have all enjoyed multiplatinum sales. In March of 2004 Seger was more than deservedly inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Segers songs tell stories about characters with whom listeners can readily identify. They are often about people who are trying to find their way through a world that has proven more complex, challenging and perhaps even dangerous than they could have imagined. Innocence drains away, and whats left is a combination of knowledge, experience and an aching nostalgia for something that has been lost along the way and must be recovered. His characters cross a line, frequently without realizing it, like a car passing over an invisible borderline at night. By the time they figure out that they are no longer in the world they knew, that world is simply a receding image in the rear-view mirror. Getting back to it isnt always easy. Sometimes its not possible. As Thomas Wolfe wrote, You cant go home again. Read more here!

If you see a fat man … Who’s jolly and cute, wearing a beard and a red flannel suit, and if he is chuckling and laughing away, while flying around in a miniature sleigh with eight tiny reindeer to pull him along, then lets face it…
Dear Friend: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May the New Year bring: Freedom to Iran, Free Market Economy back to America, and Serenity to the World.
"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." A wish to my friend is to have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving with the ones you love.
Mr. Seger, my name is Isaac Hedrick. I am 19 years old and I live in Tennessee. I grew up listening to you. My father had your greatest hits CDs and I remember singing along with him and my sister in his old truck when he picked us up for the weekend in the mid 90's. Good times. As the years went by, my music tastes have grown and flourished, but one constant has always remained. I still love that old type of rock 'n roll. Nowadays, whenever I'm down, I'll put on the very same greatest hits CD that my dad had, and is now mine. I'll listen to your smoky voice and masterful lyrics, and it gets me through. I know this page is most likely run by your record company, but I hope somehow this message gets through to you.
I want to thank you for making the music you've made, and for continuing to churn out greatness. It's an integral part of my life, and it will remain as such.
unfortunately your music gets rarely played in Germany nowadays. While i thought about the '70s and it's music, were i had my first bigger gigs and my first serious relationship with a girl, "Turn the Page" and many other tracks from you came into my mind. I'm glad i met you here at MySpace and want to wish you all the best!
The way to godliness is in not tying to be godly. To be godly means to be like God. No one can be just like God, but we can have some resemblance to Him. But this is not our purpose. It’s the natural result of another purpose. Our sole purpose is to become forgiven. If we can know that we are forgiven, this will revolutionize our lives. The way to become forgiven is to simply trust that Jesus took our punishment on the cross and then rose from the grave. The whys and hows of the cross are super profound, but it is not necessary to understand the deep things of God to be forgiven. Believing the fact of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is all you must worry about. The wonderful meanings of all that Jesus has done are revealed to us over time. Simple faith in the cross will give us encouragement and hope. When we are free and clear before God, we can spread that hope to others. Believe me, they want to have this hope in such a world. So stop trusting in those charlatans in leisure suits. Trust in the meek and lowly One, who came to be our Savior. Don’t go to those religious buildings to get forgiveness. Go to the cross!
