The song is literally about his early experience on the road as a musician. The lines "as we walk into the restaurant all strung out from the road, you can feel the eyes upon you...is that a woman or a man?" was the inspiration. The band stopped at a restaurant in a small town, late for food and being long-haired rockers, they were discriminated against and practically refused service. So as soon as they got back on the bus, Bob wrote this song about the experience. When his career started, long hair on men was seen as a hippie or unwelcome, a troublemaker.

Never forget this is a LIVE recording...pure talent

[Rickhorse]

This is the greatest, most personal song ever written about being a "star" on tour with a band. Generations of "stars" have said it...not just my opinion.

[Thetequilashooter]

It’s amazing that this is live. His voice is so smooth and chill. What a legend.

[mattyjay]

A true masterpiece, a timeless classic!!

This song was released in '73 ~ Bob hit the Detroit music scene in '61 fronting a three-piece band called the Decibels, so it was not the beginning of his career ~ However, it was before he made a breakthrough to mainstream airplay which was '76 with his Live Bullet and Night Moves albums ~ Bob had be slugging around regionally, gigging nearly 300 nights/year out of beat up station wagons and vans for 12 years ~ He had very loyal, devoted regional fans and would play to 100 people at a dive bar one night and then to 80, 000 at the Pontiac Silverdome the next night ~ He got the nickname "Road Warrior" and "Legend of Live" ~ After 12 years of slugging and not yet making the big-time, that's what this song is about ~ He did not retire until 2019 ~ I saw his show in Pittsburgh two weeks before is final farewell show in Philly ~ From '77 to 2019, I saw him live 13 times, he and the band were that damn good live ~ The man had a 60 year career, 18 studio albums, 2 of the all-time best live albums and a few compilations ~ His vault is vast and deep making for a HUGE rabbit hole to get

What the f*** Brad never seen you kick back and just take in a song like this, awesome not only do you hear his lyrics you feel them

[musicalchairs]

I used to work at a studio in LA with the keyboard player from this band who helped write the song. It was written in the back of a U-Haul before they had really made it, slugging it out in dive bars across the midwest, sleeping in the van, freezing, getting in fights over their long hair, in a time and place where it was a real issue. You can't write, sing or play music like this unless the dues are paid in full up front.

[resinmy]

The song was written in the '70's, when his career was beginning.It's not about retirement.I thing "Turn the page" is referring to life on the road.Like, on to another town, turn the page.

[eps]

Many people miss that the penultimate chorus of this song belongs to “her.” (He's lying in bed, remembering what she said.) He's turning the page, going from concert stage to concert stage. She's turning the page, going from bed to bed, “playing the star again.” This is a song about loneliness and about emptiness and about the fact that, yes, even a rock star can feel both.

[randall-king]

In Brad’s scenario about retirement, it would be the end of a book or maybe a chapter. But in the song, he’s simply turning a page. Page after page. It’s the monotony of being on the road. Same old, same old. The day to day grind. Not a new chapter or new beginning.

I enjoy your channels. May the Lord bless you both!

[herrzimm]

This song PERFECTLY sums up what it is like to have a career that involves massive amounts of traveling. Trucking, shipping, plane pilots, military, sales, basically ANYTHING where you must take long trips that tend to "blend into each other" over time.

Turn the page: Wake, shower, eat, sh*t and go through it all (yet again) for the day, eat, sleep. No real difference, nothing really makes a "day memorable", just small "moments of time" that pass without notice until later in life. Memories of no home, no real family connections, no friends to share things Just the long, never-ending road and cycle of daily routines with the occasional "moment".

[centuryrox]

Wow! I've never seen Brad lean back into the couch while listening to a song! Must've had that same chill vibe that comes with this song.

[peterramsay]

I saw Bob Seger the most times live as I did with David Bowie and Rush. Three completely different bands and sounds but each one riveting to me. Bob is classic Rock all the way. He’s middle America. His raspy accents and his musical ballads and lyrical stories are many. Check out some of his other stuff as well. If you like more intimate lyrics about small town life then this is for you. And oh yeah there’s a perfectly placed saxophone completes the picture. Life on the road as a musician. There’s the fantasy and there is the reality. Hotel rooms, long trips from one venue to another. Back then he had long hair and I can confirm from having long hair how people used to react in a diner on the highway in the 60s and 70s. People said stuff about you loud enough so you could here it. It got tense sometime. You dare not get into a fight because they always had a posse who could jump in at anytime. To me this performance is impeccable. AND ITS LIVE!!! I forgot it was live because the quality of his voice and the band is so perfect you would think this a studio version except for the audience at the end. Wow!!

[ericdykstra]

Seeing Brad lean back and just have a big ol smirk tells me this is his type of song lol

[zaphodbeeblebrox]

Bob is a great story-teller. His songs tend to open a door into his soul and let you get a brief but personal glimpse into the man.

[chercee]

This song is very evocative. You can really feel what it's like to be a musician!

[hollypinkley]

BOB ROCKS!!!! - remember - this is a LIVE performance - just raw talent - WOW!!!

[davidavi]

I neverrrr seen Brad kick back into the couch like that, ever ! Love Lexie always smiling to great relaxing tunes. Life on the road, same ole shit, driving 16 hours to the next town, to play the same ole tunes, turn the page.

[hm]

I saw him live a bunch of times, including his last ever show in Detroit--his hometown. He was bringing it hard for 50 years. Pick any Bob Seger song, you'll never be disappointed.
