bob seger & the last heard

don't laugh. hearing iggy talk about early '60s michigan rawk got me thinking about the early seger, which was quite a different animal from his "night moves" and later (money-making) incarnation. dig his first local hit, "east side story," with some unfortunate latter-day pics.



here's bob as highway 61 revisited-era dylan: "persecution smith."



before "kick out the jams," before "i wanna be your dog," there was "heavy music."



i donwanna bore ya, but if you haven't heard the bob seger system's "2 + 2 = ?" (great 'nam-era protest song), "ramblin' gamblin' man" (the song i requested every day for the entahr summer of '72 from the clueless oldies station in my lawn guyland town, without success), and "lucifer," check 'em out on youtube.
