For those of you who don't know, the song "Like A Rock," by Bob Seegar and the Silver Bullet Band (pretty well known for being used in a truck commercial) also has a sad sequence near the end where the character is reflecting on his life and says; "20 years, where'd they go? 20 years, I don't know."

Here I am... 20 years after answering the phone and accepting a job from Walmart "for the holidays."

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I remember Harry Chapin doing a song about working in a car wash. (Honest work, but I'm glad I never had to do it.) And one of the lines got changed in my head to; "Now I've got those, thoroughly depressing, low down, mind messing, working here at Wal Mart blue!" I always wondered, if I concentrated enough, could I take the whole song and "Weird Al" it!

I love Bob Seger's music! My favorite has to be "The Famous Final Scene" from the Stranger In Town album.

For those who are unfamiliar with this song, here you go.

I don't have a large collection of ANYONE'S music. Bob Seger, it's a "Greatest Hits" album that I play to death! But THAT was a trip! The man has a way to paint pictures with lyrics.

It's hard to be from Detroit and not be a Seger fan, I was big time.
I saw him many times over the years at Cobo Hall, where "Live Bullet" was recored, and Pine Knob Music Center.
I worked for Campbell-Ewald, the advertising agency that handled the Chevy account, when Like A Rock"
was being used for Chevy trucks.

Growing up when I did, Seger's music was the song book of our lives. I'm still a fan after all these years.
