Flirtin' With Disaster
My next door neighbor walked over last night, and gave me the NEW Bob Seger CD, which he had industriously burned for me. 24 hours later I'm still looking at it. Afeered to put it on. Why? Because Bob Seger sucks worse than anybody. I absolutey loathe the motherfucker, and anything out of Detroit, other than MoTown. That is blue collar rock, and I am a beatified sweet thing. I don't slum for rock and roll, and, just to prove my point, I went through 300 albums, CDs, and cassettes to find the worst music. I could not. Basic Fact Number 1: Bob Seger is a suck ass piece of shit.
Now I'll be the first to admit my neighbor burned this CD because he was sick and damned tired of hearing my Chili Peppers CD. Fair enough. I'm an OCD fucker, and will play a fave-oh CD unto its goddam death. Then eschew it forever after. I know I annoyed him. But Seger? Fuck that shit!
For the record I am not averse to blue collar, redneck rock. Witness my adoration of Foreigner, a true trash band. But a band with a healthy dose of knowledge of their own stupidity. Oh, they suck. But I love Urgent. That song rocks. It sucks bad anal shit, but there is your sax solo, Seger, you goddam pussy. I also love Dirty White Boy because that is me, and as much shit as heavy metal bands put out, I admire the fact that these guys pissed on the 3 chord heavy metal loser groupthink and went with an entire song that was ONE CHORD! Fucking brilliant, that.
I'm still looking at that Seger CD, but I can't listen to it. That would be so irridentist, so malformed, that I would puke.
Did I mention my favorite redneck song is Molly Hatchet's Flirtin' With Disaster? Oh, how I love that piece of shit. I absolutely love that song. Go figure.
I should turn you on to some Hank Williams Jr. shit. His stuff is the bomb.
Posted by: Don Jr. at September 16, 2006 6:52 PMForeigner? Molly Hatchet? Seger? Have you considered a group that's put out anything new in the last 30 years? Jebus, why not put on some Sousa marches?
You need better neighbors.
Posted by: rankin' rob at September 16, 2006 8:03 PMI'm a fan of Seger, his music turned me on to rock and roll, although I'm with your on the RHCP album! I heard one of Seger's new songs, and it was such a let down. Imagine seeing a woman you had the hots for when she was 18 become this old nasty thing. Poor Bob.

"I'm an OCD fucker, and will play a fave-oh CD unto its goddam death. Then eschew it forever after. I know I annoyed him."
LMAO!!! I sooo resemble that. Curses to you people for dragging me out of denial on this issue.

Posted by: steve at September 17, 2006 4:20 PMBut, but it's the NEWWW Bob Seger, Rob! Don't you see the malevolence at work here? And my RHCP is newer than that DBT you're listening to.
Posted by: velociman at September 17, 2006 6:11 PMI went to a Hank Williams Jr. concert 18 years ago, Don. He passed out during the third song. Stone cold zonking fucking drunk. Couldn't get my money back so I pissed on his tour van tires.
Posted by: velociman at September 17, 2006 6:13 PMTo add a bit more fuel to the fire; I rank Seger right up there with John "Cougar" Mellencamp, Billy Idol, Da' Boss and any others of the same poseur (sp)ilk. These wimps are no more blue collar rock than my dead granny. There, I said it...the rant is ginished. Thank you.
Posted by: WolfDog at September 17, 2006 6:33 PMMy apologies...I meant finished NOT ginished.
Posted by: WolfDog at September 17, 2006 6:36 PMBob Seger is good. Your Goober is showing.
Posted by: Jim - PRS at September 17, 2006 6:40 PMI never could stand Bob Seger. I guess having grown up on British rock and Bob Dylan, he just didn't do it for me. Shitty music, shitty lyrics, shitty voice.
Fuck Bob Seger with a Pink banana.
Bah. Buncha ex-hippies and beatnik retreads on thisheere channel, I'm tellin ya...
I ain't saying the Seger-dude is good, mind you, but for a kid growing up in the early 80's, having a copy of Nine Tonight rolling in the 8-track as you squire around a teenybopper in the ol' Shaggin' Wagon was a sure ticket to a handjob while parked behind the Circle K.
Posted by: El Capitan at September 18, 2006 12:51 AMThis whole thing has left me ginished. We hardly knew ye, Velociman.
Posted by: rankin' rob at September 18, 2006 9:41 AMSeger's music has always bitten hog rectum. "old tyme rock&role" (sic) is in and of itself unfargivable, and he should be tortured to death by hearing it forever. OTOH, he's at least honest and on the surface, albeit a poor musician and songwriter. Bruce, for instance, is an excellent musician and songwriter (compared to seeger) but Bruce sucks riverwater through the fetid colon of a dead dillo.

Posted by: Wes Jackson at September 22, 2006 9:20 PM bob seger sucks. he sounds like he has a frog in his throat. there is too much piano in
his songs. he and his band sound like a
rental band for a wedding, his singing makes me sick. when i hear his music, it makes me wonder how he ever made it. shut up, seger. i guess real talent went out the window a long time ago. only chicks really like, seger. and what do they know. simpletons.
