<p>Q: How do you follow-up an album like Night Moves? </p>
<p>A: Not possible ...</p>

The edge comes back with Feel Like A Number, its this looseness and playful rock and roll that I love about him. Ain't Got No Money is a poor mans Sunspot Baby (which is one of his finest tunes!!!), far too similar to really feel like anything other than filler, and it opens side two!!!! Its probably the biggest disappointment on the album, at least for me. But its only 1 of 9!</p>
<p></p>
<p>We've Got Tonight is just good, in fact its a fantastic ballad, maybe I have a soft spot for it, who knows, but its stellar. And you're spot on with the closer, nice nice tune!</p>
<p></p>
<p>At the end of the day, Seger had the gargantuan task of following up one of rock and rolls finest albums, and for the few who get a chance to do that he did an admirable job, but it's an impossible task really and Stranger In Town gets close...</p> Are you still a card carrying…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2017-03-11:6060463:Comment:1436522017-03-11T02:55:07.441ZRJhog (Admin)http://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JeffHogland

<p>For some reason, "Swamp" by Talking Heads isn't on the soundtrack even though "risky business" is mentioned in the lyrics. That song made the movie (which is OBVIOUSLY based on a small portion of my life)!!!!!!!</p>
