Bob Seger System: Mongrel (Capitol SKAO-499, 1970)
The System’s third album is a scorcher. (I’ve never seen a copy of their second album, Noah, in real life but I know some other guy wrote/sings half the songs.) The highlight here is “Lucifer” but the whole thing kicks ass. Their version of “River Deep-Mountain High” is everything great about Detroit’s musical melting pot.

The Bob Seger System: Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man (Capitol ST-172, 1969)
Like a lot of Michigan natives, I overrate Seger. And like a lot of rock snobs, I prefer his System era. (Actually, if we’re going deep snob, I prefer the Hideout/Cameo/Last Turd stuff.) Anyway, this album is fucking awesome. The woman on the front was supposed to be naked like Botticelli’s Venus but the suits nixed it.

This was where pop music powerhouse #CKLW was located in it's heyday, from the late 1960s thru 1970s. It was so influential that #BobSeger recorded a high-energy tribute to the music director, Rosalie Trombley, hoping that she would add it to the playlist. She didn't! #Music #Radio #Broadcasting #Windsor #Ontario #Canada #Detroit #Michigan https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/developer-plans-to-dismantle-historic-cbc-windsor-building-erect-1602-housing-units

#BobSeger turned 81 today. Wow, do I feel old!
Because my mother had a serious crush on him, I have seen him in concert A LOT when I was a kid. 🙄
I used to travel, every week, to multiple cities for work. This song was always an ear worm as soon as I boarded the plane every Monday (I changed the musician/star lyrics to match my tech job).
Truly, this is pretty much what it felt like being on the road every week.
