Dear Northern Michigan's Classic Rock "The Bear",I understand that, as a classic rock station, you have a limited playlist, but you play a ridiculously disproportionate amount of Seger. I mean, at this point, I wish he'd quit talking about it and just fucking go to Kathmandu already for Christ's sake.
Sincerely,
Some Guy

I saw Seger twice in the early 80's so take that.
You would think that with all the rock out there that they would have a better playlist.
maybe you should send them some suggestions?
I know what you mean-we had a "classic rock" station out here and all it was was Seger, it seemed! And just the same Seger songs too-Old Time RnR, Katmandu, and maybe once in a while, Hollywood Nights.
This post reminds me of the old SNL routine called cafe Ozzie, where the strolling musicians only played Sabbath.
As a recent tourist who fled south in disarray after being exposed to your so-called "classic rock" I applaud your stand!
And the kicker is... Seger was never a big deal back when so-called classic rock was current.
Besides, what the hell is classic rock?
But he has great hair, doesn't he?
Do you have something against Seger? What did he ever do to you, except bring to you musical joy?
Please reconsider this post.

Thank the good lord New Wave & Indie Rock came around & saved my brain.
I've noticed a lot of Eagles when I'm out that way, too.
And for once, "Go with the Wind!", try being "Like a Pebble", tell me about your "Day Moves", skip the "New Coat of Paint", and get the F*CK OFF "Main Street"!
And don't tell me about "Old Time Rock-N-Roll", it's all old. Ask Tom Cruise.

The rock (and not just classic) station in Pittsburgh HAD to play at least one AC/DC, Lynryrd Skynryd, and Aerosmith song every hour or apparently the city would explode.
The funniest part was that when they took requests, I can't tell you how many assholes would wait on the phone, braving the constant busy signal, and when they finally got through, they'd request something like "Simple Man." They could've just waited 20 minutes.
I'm going to Kathmandu in October.
