INCREASINGLY LESS SURE WAYS TO GET BOB SEGER TO GO

ROSS MURRAY

• Stop playing old-time rock and roll.
• Try to take him to a disco. (see also: “tango, go to hear them play a…”)
• Fail to stifle a yawn when he reminisces about the days of old.
• Leap into the room and shout, “Who wants to go to Fire Lake!”
• Instigate a debate about alternative energy sources and obstinately come out against the wind.
• Subtly remind Bob Seger that Betty Lou’s gettin’ out tonight.
• Tell Bob Seger that he’s still the same, but in a tone that’s not necessarily a compliment.
• Call Bob Seger “a relic,” call him what you will.
• Continue playing rock and roll that is not old-time but nonetheless recognized as a classic of the genre.
• Start humming a tune from 1962.
• Suggestively tell Bob Seger that you know it’s late, you know he’s weary, you know his plans don’t include you…
• Just take those old records off the shelf. (see also: “old records, proper storage of”)
• Whip out the sax.
• Night moves.
