Against the Wind

I'm a pretty big Bob Seger fan. I love his voice, even though you could probably find a voice that's more melodious, I love all of his songs blue collar themes, I love that to watch the "Night Moves" music video on YouTube you have to verify your age, and I love his hair. 

That is a straight up mane of hair. 

He's got some great lyrics, some catchy tunes, and it just evokes emotion. I absolutely love song that evoke emotion in me. There are songs I like the sound of songs, but when a song really makes me feel something strong it's incredible. Although none of Seger's songs make me cry like Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven, or energize me like Tom Petty's American Girl, I can't think of an artist that has so many songs that make have strong feelings. 

My favorite quote from any song ever is from Against the Wind. The line is "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then", it's nothing that extraordinary, but it really stuck with me because of the clever wording and the way it fits into that part of the song perfectly. 

In the end though, I think it all comes back to the hair. I wish I could pull that look off, but I don't have the hair for it and I'm about 30 years late.
