Silver Bullet

Heartlands rocker and Detroit homeboy Bob Seger seems to have, um, turned the page on his latest album, Face the Promise. In a hard-driving new track called Between, the man who once peddled supersized pickups for Chevy, now sings:
World keeps getting hotter
Ice falls in the sea
We buy a bigger engine and say it isn't me
Okay, it's not exactly Dylan, but it ain't bad. And it sure beats the Chevy anthem Like a Rock, which was stirring, I admit, but metaphorically challenged. Like a rock, chargin' from the gate?

No matter. Seger's singin' a new tune and I say right on. Next thing you know, Kid Rock will be writing songs about hybrid cars and carbon credits.

Dude, your blogs have really gotten pretty lame... that's why we see all the zeros after "comments" on so many of your blogs. Make an effort next time.

Brave man talking at 7:54 - doesn't even leave a name. Pat, keep up the good work. Anyone who's looked at the effects of the environment on the media and vice versa knows that little things like this mean a lot in the long run.

And hopefully we're all in this for the long run!

It's so sad that, by going back and reading the few replies your recent columns have gotten, you only criticize anonymous posters when they disagrree with you ... very intolerant.
