Tonight’s featured artist liked James Brown over the Beatles, in High School could run a 5 minute mile, he is known as a bit of a perfectionist and a workaholic having once performed 260 shows in one year. I’ll give you a hint he just played in Bangor.  Any guesses?

If you guessed Bob Seger you’ve gotten it in one!  Bob Seger’s favorite album was James Brown Live at the Apollo, Volume 1. Until Rock N’ Roll came along making him stay out all night listening to the radio with his friends his High School running track time was a mile in 5:05 and it was in 1975 Bob Seger’s work ethic became a thing of legend performing 260 concert dates in one year. Go Bob!

Tonight’s featured song is one of my personal favorites. Inspired they say by one of his High School Class reunions, ‘Rock N’ Roll Never Forgets’
