SAFE AT HOME OR AGAINST THE WIND: BOB SEGER BOPS HORIZONTALLY
Don’t let anybody tell you Bob Seger is not a cool guy. Case in point: Seger, Detroit’s ying to Ted Nugent’s yang dang, is a busy fellow. It’s the records biz: Against The Wind, his latest, sucked up to the top of the trade mags and never really unsucked, giving him his first Number One LP and more glory than any non-Motownie Detroit artist could ever rightfully expect.
SAFE AT HOME OR AGAINST THE WIND:
BOB SEGER BOPS HORIZONTALLY

Don’t let anybody tell you Bob Seger is not a cool guy.
Case in point: Seger, Detroit’s ying to Ted Nugent’s yang dang, is a busy fellow. It’s the records biz: Against The Wind, his latest, sucked up to the top of the trade mags and never really unsucked, giving him his first Number One LP and more glory than any non-Motownie Detroit artist could ever rightfully expect. Fact is, Bob Seger is HOT right now, and even though he’s been hot before, it’s the capital letters that make all the difference. Hasn’t been a Detroit “local legend” since Beautiful Loser or maybe Live Bullet, mainly because he’s been too busy being an American “local legend, ” the kinda guy that should make us all proud to be Americans because, after all, even DAVE EDMUNDS covered one of his tunes.
