I have never paid attention to the lyrics of this song. So, is "snow" and "draggin' the line" referring to cocaine? The other lyrics seem to suggest it. Just wondering if it was just me.
...many have thought that, but it is apparently false-still, when you think of Crystal Blue Persuasion- it tends to lend a little more credence to the rumors huh?....James has said, the lyrics merely meant "working every day".....

Ok, thanks. Yeah, Crystal Blue Persuasion was even used in Breaking Bad. I'm a little slow when it comes to lyrics, lol. The sixties were filled with euphemistic songs for sex and drugs but I never knew because most were very clever tongue-in-cheek. Last night this one sort of dawned on me but I guess it was coincidental.

Even if Bob Seger never wrote so many other classic songs, he deserves National Treasure status just for this one. I love this guy unreservedly.

...Bob was the first artist I ever bought music from, back when my hair was dark and my belly didn't get somewhere 5 minutes ahead of me....

I've told this story before, and I will tell it again -- because I'm old. That's what my kind do.

I went to Best Buy a handful of years ago to buy a Bob Seger CD. I was browsing and a BB guy walked up to me and asked if he could help. I asked if they had any Bob Seger.

He looked at me and said, "Who's Bob Seger."

I died just a little bit inside. And, I went home and IMMEDIATELY made sure my children knew who Bob Seger was.

Not that I'd ever advocate violence, but that man deserved a slap.

Yeah, I hear that. =D

First album I ever plunked down my own money for was in 1988, John Cougar Mellencamp's The Lonesome Jubilee. On cassette too, cause I couldn't afford CDs until I started working in the early 90s. That's the best damn album I've ever heard in my life. I still have the cassette!

(incidentally, when I could afford CDs, one of the first I got was Mellencamps' Human Wheels, a terribly under-rated gem in his catalogue.)

One of the single most discraceful things that ever happened in the world of music was the turning of Bob Seger's "Like A Rock" into truck commercial fodder .....I used to love that song. Now I can't listen to it anymore. Ever. :(
