    "Cars made by Detroit automakers race through his songs. One of the most famous, "Night Moves," was set in the backseat of a "'60 Chevy." Years later, Chevrolet turned another Seger song, "Like a Rock," a commercial theme."

    "His latest album, Face the Promise, has Seger touring again at age 61..On Face the Promise, he once again turns to writing about cars, but in not such a positive way. In "Between," he sings:

    World keeps getting hotter
    Ice falls in the sea
    We buy a bigger engine and say it isn't me."

    Ain't it funny how the night moves, indeed. Thanks, I'd never expected this type of song from him.

    If he feels so strongly about it, maybe he should drop his contract with Chevy to use his music to advertise their trucks.

    Maybe Chevy already dropped it and this is his revenge. :) I don't remember hearing it that much lately, and according to this 2004 article, Chevy was cutting back on it even then in favor of other songs.

    I've been hearing "American Pie" quite a bit lately. Of course, they cut the words just shy of "this will be the day that I die."

    Well, my brain nearly jumped out of my skull the first time I heard Lust for Life advertising a cruise ship. But then again, I always thought that one lyric was "I've had it in my rear before." Boy is that embarrassing or what?
