For that I apologize. I just don’t like Seger. Maybe it’s that when I came of age in my farming community there were two FM stations, both of which seemed to alternate Jack and Diane with Like a Rock and It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me as three of the four songs in their roatation. I can’t stand John Mellancamp (previous topic) and I don’t like Seger, which is odd because I love their close cousins Neil Young and CCR, Petty, Woody and Arlo Guthrie (hey, Thanksgiving is coming up) The Doors, the Beatles, and anything by the F’ing Who. That’s their full name, by the way. But I didn’t have to dismiss Seger or LAR with my original response. I should not have done that and I don’t mean to be a jerk with my curt response. Like all art, if the painting or song speaks to you, it is great art. Seeger and Like a Rock speaks to Zeke and a lot of other people and that means that it is great art, and perhaps something I should revisit as I get older, and hopefully wiser, even if I’m running against the wind.

Well played.
