RonJonSurfer Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Bob Seger Dumps Chevrolet He sees the beauty in smaller, environmentally-friendly cars. Rocker Bob Seger has shocked car makers at Chevrolet after decades of loyalty, by admitting he prefers Porsches and Nissans. The Michigan musician famously sang about his love for Chevrolet in his 1976 track "Night Moves" and allowed General Motors to use his song "Like A Rock" in their advertisements. But after watching Al Gore's global-warming documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth,' Seger admits he is starting to see the beauty in smaller, more environmentally-friendly vehicles and his love affair with Chevrolet is over. He says, "I don't have any of them anymore. Not one, no. "You just look at oil prices, and it's just, 'Wow! You've gotta do something.' "We consume so much and it can't be good for the economy, the whole country in the final analysis to consume as much as we do." In his new song "Between" from his latest album 'Face The Promise,' Seger sings, "We buy a bigger engine and say it isn't me."

Lucky Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 'Bout time Bob! I love Seger, but I really disliked those commercials. Funny story. A friend bout a new Chevy Silverado when the commercials were still fairly new. Promplty took it through an area on our property called the "Sippy Hole", a mudhole notorious for sucking in anything and everything. Also promptly sunk to the top of the wheels. I took a picture of him in the truck he was so proud of, had it enlarged, with the caption "Like A Rock". That picture provided lots of laughs, and still hangs in our bait shop.

Lucky Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Unc, I told you I am a dyed in the wool redneck. Yes I have a bait shop. I literally count and sell minnows for people. Sell nightcrawlers. Need some fishing advice? It's free. No guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Goll! I didn't know. Is there anything better than an abu reflex when it comes to catching Northern Pike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I don't know Northern Pike from Great White shark. Crappie? Catfish? Big mouth or White bass? Wall Eye? I got you covered. My experience? Spend all the money on fancy stuff all you want. You can do just as well on a Zebco 505. I've also got 65 campsites if you feel the desire to pull an RV from PA to MO....

Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Way to go Bob! And if you are Seger fan get the new album!! "Face The Promise" is great, well worth the 11 year wait. I like the title track, Wait For Me, Wreck This Heart, Simplicity...great horns, and The Answer's in the Question with Patty Loveless. Definately check this album out!! And tour to start in November!
