Bob Seger’s Night Moves is an incredible song. It’s a Mid Western film noir RomCom in futile denial of the romance that it obviously ACHES for. Its proclaimed unsentimentality is ironically the source of its painful nostalgia. 10CC’s I’m Not In Love is its colder English Cousin.— Vernon Reid (@vurnt22) April 17, 2022

otm. inversely it helps explain why "summer of '69" is so cloying, at least to my ear

I heard “Fire Down Below” for the first time in ages the other day. Had to crank it! Does it not get played much on classic rock radio anymore? This album rules, fuiud.

Have to admit it took me a long while for this guy to grow on me and I still don’t really like (not on this album) “Old Time Rock & Roll.”

OTR&R is actually a great song imo, it’s just been beaten into Mustang Sally levels of tedium.

i dunnoit’s not that great compared to ~so much~ of his catalog prior to thatalso my least favorite music subgenre is washed middleaged guys complaining about music

The worst thing that happened to OTR&R was Risky Business.

“Old Time Rock ‘n’ Roll” is Seger’s 1980s “Ballad Of The Yellow Berets.” The tragic difference is that there was no 1980s “2+2=?”

Following up OTR&R by making "Fire Lake" the first single off your next album is a hell of a move.

At least it was "Old Time Rock & Roll" that got played to death, not the vastly superior "Rock & Roll Never Forgets."

Yes, that one is much better.

all the seger -- particularly betty lou's getting out tonight -- reminds me of good burgers at the landmark inn
it was an absolute dive owned by my classmate's dad and always shady as fuck. classmate, last i heard, was in prison -- but his younger brother was flying blimps over sporting events
anyway seger rules

True, I need them to be filthy before they start their whining.

nostalgia often has little to do with the quality of the experiences, and a lot to do with our own shifts in feeling about ourselves. This is actually a pretty feckin wise point, and one that I don't think was ever made in song before "Night Moves."
I'd say this is the point of "People Take Pictures of Each Other" by the Kinks, written eight years earlier.
