Eden Bloom - Till it Shines (Bob Seger cover)

How arty! Thanks ‪@canva‬
Maybe some waves (water and sound) will improve my playing, lol.
This track is so seminal that it's hard to remember. Being from the midwest, from Detroit in particular, Bob Seger is/was a thing. The myths and stories of Seger and his entourage in LA were what I heard when I put my ear and nose to the towel covered crack on the floor of the door that lead to my father's 'chill' space in the 70s.
I think Seger played everybody's prom in Detroit the 60s. He knew all those cats and throughout my childhood somebody 'in the band' would come through. I wonder how many other disaffected twenty somethings from Detroit disappeared on motorcycles, headed west on Seger's stories of drugs and sex. My family can't be the only one those pipe dreams destroyed. And don't get me wrong, I made a likeminded journey in the 90s.
Last month, I started working with 'Stranger in Town' as something of a counter point in the Born to Die project. That Detroit/Hollywood connection is beginning to support the articulation of the male dominant characters in the script. I often wonder how much Hollywood got into the content of this record. I can't help but dig into 'Till it Shines' while thinking that it has all the makings of a revolutionary jam where the inmates are set free and the rich man dies. Of course, a solid read is that the inmate is the narrator, but with that I'm done.
I don't own anything. Nada but appreciation for this one and all the memories.
Thanks for looking and subscribing! @EdenBloom2023
