Yes I am a 58 year old Seger Groupie
by TERRITINA on 2/14/11Last tour at VanAndel and COBOL Hall - Grand rapids & DetroitI am not sure that even Bob Seger realizes the real impact that his music has had on so many of his fans. I can remember my brother getting a speeding ticket while pumping the gas pedal to Heavy Music. Yes he lost his license for a while. He just couldn't get through to the officer how this could happen. Little did I know that in the early 80's that my husband would walk out the door and leave me with a couple of kids for some sleaze bag. I would play Jody Girl over and over and over. Then all of a sudden I discovered that "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight" would be my therapy song. I would have the stereo blasting at full tilt playing that song each and every Friday night when the ex would come to pick up the kids. He hated it. I would be doing my happy dance while he squealed out the drive. BOB SEGER always has pulled me up from any slump I was ever in. It is impossible to get down when you play his music. My children and grandchildren always have carried on the tradition. Our family tradition is to do the family dance in the living room to ROLL ME AWAY and they all know that when I die, even if I live to be 100 that it will be a wake with a SEGER jam and that last song played will be THE FAMOUS FINAL SCENE. Thank you Bob for at times saving my life through your wonderful music. I know that people say that they are you're biggest fan but that is not possible. It is me. Again, THANK YOU and SEE YOU IN TOLEDO.
