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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnrhX9e9CkI

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.
