Completely random post over at Addicted To Vinyl this morning. RANDOM. But if you love Bob Seger, Sam Butera or Michael McDonald, perhaps you will be musically inspired as well. Doobie, doobie, doo! I’ve got an entirely separate post brewing for all-things-hate and Grinchy on Christmas remakes, albums and the like, so stay tuned to [...] Related posts: On the 9th day of Cleveland Beer Week, my...

There was an interesting article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about Tom Petty: Rock God Or Mere Mortal? "As Tom Petty prepares to release a career-spanning anthology next week, an attempt to determine where he falls in the music pantheon." The basic premise is that though he sold a lot of records, maybe because he was prolific with the pop hook, he just seems to lack the "cool"...

KOIT switched to Christmas programming today. I bumped and jammed to Bob Seger’s Little Drummer Boy, Frank Sinatra’s Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Sarah McLachlan’s Happy Xmas for about 2 hours. Ok, I’m done. Bring on the Arbor Day music.

On an otherwise dull day at work, this sweet little item came across the wire today: Bob Seger is coming out with a new CD chock full of some of his earliest songs. That’s great news for those of us who have long preferred the young, spirited, in-your-face Seger of the late ’60s and early ’70s [...]

In May of 1977, I was a small part of a record crowd at the University of Colorado's Folsom Field. I was there to see hometown heroes Firefall , Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, and the biggest group in the world at that moment, Fleetwood Mac. As a special bonus, John Sebastian opened the show. That was okay with me, as long as he managed to work in the theme from "Welcome Back Kotter ."...

It's about time Bob Seger started rustling around in those archives. When even the most frivolous of pop careers have been chronicled with historical compilations by this point, the Detroit rocker's slim retrospective pickings -- just a pair of greatest-hits discs -- has stood out.

Well the night was like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nine There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line Bruce Springsteen, "Highway Patrolman," 1982. There was trouble for Bruce Springsteen north of the Ohio line in suburban Detroit last night, as the Detroit Free Press croons. And "that call" about trouble came from "Little Stevie." A little geography...

Tom Cochrane, whether on his own or with Red Rider, has long been an underrated and overlooked rocker-poet-folkie. It was a funny thing when I did a little research about Tom to fill in the gaps of my knowledge about him. Canadian web sites are chock full of information and no wonder as he is a premiere Canadian artist. Check out any US based web sites and he barely garners a short paragraph. For example...

Saying "good evening Ohio" is certainly not the best way to open a show... in Michigan. Bruce also changed the lyrics of "Wrecking Ball" to suit "tonight Ohio is going down in flames". In the introduction to "Working on a Dream" Bruce once again mentioned Ohio for the third until Steve Van Zandt informed Bruce of his mistake, after a few boos. Bruce shouted out...

One of the most iconic movie images of the 1980s is that of Tom Cruise, clad only in socks, underwear, dress shirt, and sunglasses, dancing to the strains of Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" in Risky Business . Guitar Hero recreated the scene for a series of commercials last year, which apparently put it into the heads of quite a few young people that they should do the same thing in...
