Quote

I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.

Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton, Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh, they're heroic or pathetic depending on which book you buy.

Later in the evening when you lie awake in bed with the echoes from the amplifiers ringing in your head.

I love working with different musicians in the studio, that's a real joy working with someone for the first time.

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.

I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well.

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.

There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown, love to watch her do her stuff.

Here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page.

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy, out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy. Workin' on mysteries without any clues, workin' on our night moves.

Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine, here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time. There go the street lights bringing on the night, here come the men faces hidden from the light.

Tell them we'll be dancing, dancing 'til we drop, it's time to get down and do the Horizontal Bop.

Yeah, I'm just blessed to have this very strong thing, my vocals. I'm very healthy in that regard.

Sometimes you can hear them talk, other times you can't. All the same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?
Bob Seger

Stood alone on a mountain top, starin' out at the Great Divide. I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide. Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise.

Even in junior high, I always knew I had a talent for music and I knew I could make money that way.

I'm really glad I didn't have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can't do that anymore.
Bob Seger
Image
The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I've gotta rest it for a night. So it's the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.

He wants his home and security, he wants to live like a sailor at sea.

I'm not a number. Dammit, I'm a man.
