For the record, I love Bob Seger. I used to loathe him too, but the day I turned 30 suddenly I started to relate and it's been joyful rediscovery ever since. I don't just mean, "the Silver Bullet Band sucks but dude, those first two albums with the Bob Seger System kick ass- Ramblin' Gamblin' Man!" I mean, I'm into Kathmandu, Night Moves, Strut, RnR Never Forgets... And when Running Against The Wind comes on in my car, all conversation must cease.
I've heard them; they failed to soften my heart toward Mr. Miller. People say the same thing about shit merchant and convicted wife-beater Jackson Browne... Dude, he used to play with Nico!
Miles Davis was too kind when he called Steve Miller a "no-playin' motherfucker."
But at lesat he didn't push his baby out a window so he could have another hit, like Clapton.
I keep looking at this, even though it violates my 'degraded font' peeve. I suppose the exception makes the rule.
In fact this poster, and the Dutch language in general, perfectly illustrates the folly of the degraded font- with words like maart, support, uur, entree, www, doornroosje, waachals, off, aanvang; those double letters everywhere, degraded in exactly the same way...
But I still loathe Steve Miller.
