Bob Seger Conquers The World (And About Time!)
John Morthland, Creem, July 1977
BY ALL ACCOUNTS, Bob Seger is your archetypal Nice Guy – polite, friendly, low key, easy-going, self-effacing, able to laugh at himself with ease. Despite the beard and shoulder-length hair, he has the well-scrubbed look of a 30-ish Midwestern-boy-next-door.
