Nice article about Bob Seger

Pretty much sums it up for me. I would point out that he kept alive that basic Chuck Berry rock all throughout the 70's when it was being challenged by the softer sounds of the LA country rock, disco, and the singer/songwriter boom. His live album from that period is still one of the best examples of a rock'n'roll record that I know of, (and I know more than a few, thank you very much). And with Night Moves, Bob was one of the first, if not THE first rock performers to start to really deal with and explore what a rocker does as he/she ages. This is years, sometimes decades, before others did so (like Bruce, Graham Parker, Nick Lowe, Ray Davies, and Chrissie Hynde).
