    Everyone's fantasy about their youth. But one of the great lines in a song; '20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years now I don't know'; that is everyone's truth.

    At 69, retired truck driver, did my share of Detroit, Chicago, K. C., all over the mid west, north and south.
    Found cassette from a friend in 76, 77.
    Talk about an influence
    Thanks Bob Seger.
    I bought nine tonight twice in one week.
    For five days straight, I flipped that cassette repeatedly, until, on the way home, the tape player decided it wanted to eat the tape.
    Remember those days, always the favorite tape too?
    I bought Nine Tonight at least five times, the last a cd.
    Because of the beard and hair, it started with Grizzly Adams, Kenny Rogers, Randy Owen, Michael McDonald, yrea, you put long hair and a beard on a man, and we all look alike.
    Once in Springfield Mass. a pregnant woman asked me if I was somebody's brother, and I had to say it, "Why ", looking at her pregnant belly. Big laugh.
    I walked thru a bar in a truck stop south of Baltimore, with my long hair and black leather jacket, and I heard this guy screaming, " Bob, Bob, ", my name is Bill, but I turned to see who he was hollering at, it was me, he says, " Bob Seger ", I waived and laughed.
    Personally, put us all in a line up, its the hair cut and beard, not the face.
    Okay, one more, Bob Seger concert, Cleveland, Oh.
    Went to eat first, walking down the street, outside the stadium, basketball, I guy sitting in one of sidewalk cafe's had to look twice, three times thinking I was him, then a vendor asks me for an autograph.
    But the one I am most PROUD of, The MAN, Bob Seger.
    If I had any talent, I would have Bob Seger tribute band.
    Can't sing, can't dance, I got no rhythm. The only thing I can play, is the radio, and Bob Seger
    Bob, Mr. Seger, THANK YOU for the music, and the memories.
    THANK YOU.
    Loved the duets, also.
    God bless you and the family.
    Lets take a walk down Main Street and reminisce.
    I was walking,
    By the river,
    I held my hand out,
    To feel the rain
    Who can't love this guy?

    My father, the old Army Master Sergeant, passed away in March 2020 at the age of 89. We saw eye-to-eye on virtually nothing. But he was rock and taught me and my brothers how to be men…how to be accountable, responsible and take of our families. Lessons for life. When I listen to this song, I hear a tribute to the old Master Sergeant.

    I'm 69, cancer survivor this past year, still doing construction work to make ends meet and help the kids. I sat by my 90 year old Dad's bedside in my house when he died after we had cared for him for five years. I didn't realize what a rock he had been and how much his life had influenced me even though he was old school Navy and I was a '60's hippie and we never saw eye to eye even to the end. We were two rocks, side by side. Thanks, Dad.

    I'll be 55 my next birthday, August that is. My dad passed away November 27,2020 which is also my mom's birthday. Married in 1966. He got sent off to Chilcathie Ohio, served a sentence of 5 years. Running shine in the hills of Kentucky. However my sister and I were born in Chicago. He wasn't allowed back in the state of Kentucky or Ohio for 5 years. He somehow got us out of Chicago after the 5 years was over moved us Closer to home. He got a job at Queen City Lumber Company in Cincinnati moved on a block and we were on Chambers St . Him and my mom had not only had a home but it was the nicest one on the entire block. Now my brother was born a buckeye but like all of us, we loved it down home as we called it as kids. After 5 years my dad had become the staple of pride for the company. He designed the knives to cut out some of the most beautiful crown molding , and even after all those years I have yet to see picture frames even close to the one's that have been hanging in there home. He had a brand new 1978 Ford F150 and a brand new 1977, Chevy Caprice Classic . We ate stake about every other night. But it was time to get his family back down home. Left Cincy built his own home.paid for it (him and mom) for nearly 30 years and never missed a payment or even late with one 1⃣ payment. I got to hold him in my arms his last week of life and I got to look that man in the eyes and tell him he was my hero and my best friend and I could never ever ask for a better dad. He was the best and I also told him he was the smartest man I had ever knew . And he was. He passed but he has not left his roots. It is amazing I feel his presence everywhere. I'm trying to build my own life in the shadows of a man who is hands down the rock in my life. I love you dad

    Dad was 42 when I was born. He was 49 when my sister came along. He took up jogging so he could stay in good shape.He was tough, almost super human. He was tough on me growing up, and I resented that. I ashamed of the way I used to feel. I know he meant well now. I was 39 when he passed away, that was 21 years ago. He was strong and tough like a rock. He was almost 81 I miss him a lot. I could go on but I won't. You'll realize what you had when you don't.

    My favorite Bob Seger song. When this song first came out my mom played it over and over and over again. She use to say “you have to feel the words…..” I was, of course the young kid on the other side of the tracks and didn’t understand what she meant. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣🤣 you know, just Momma talking nonsense. She was a single mother who raised three kids on her own. We were grown and she was just done, she was sick. She had not been diagnosed yet but she had Pulmonary Fibrosis. I started supporting us when I was just nineteen years old. She died when I was just 31. It’s been twenty years this year. I was at work on the anniversary of her death and this song came on my phone and I broke down and cried when the first line came on “Twenty years where’d they go?…….” And I ugly cried. For a while. It was the first time I had cried like that over my mom in a while. One of those deep, sobbing, can’t catch your breath kind of cries. I guess I needed to cry like that. I was under a lot of stress and my heart was broken at the time. I had just lost my baby brother just over a year earlier to Covid, and my older brother had just been diagnosed with colon cancer, and my dad is in bad shape. My life is a country song. 😂😂 I guess me ugly crying is exactly what I needed at the time. My love of music, and Bob Seger, comes from my Momma. I miss her terrible, some days more than others. Today is one of those days when I miss her more than yesterday. So, I listen to her song. ❤❤❤

    Man can I relate ! My daddy was the strongest, proudest, he man that I have ever seen! He served in the U.S. Army ‘54-‘56. He was that man that Bob is singing about. I played this for him, just me and him alone, in ‘05. I saw that far away look in his eyes as he listened. He was not one to show emotions, very much, but I think the song connected the way I had hoped it would. My dad passed away from numerous health problems, in ‘09. Every time I hear this song I think of my daddy. I always did even from the first time.

    My mother called me yesterday in tears after listening to this song. Nearly 20 years ago I stood tall and proud with my right hand up swearing an oath to our nation. Some where after that time she watched me fall to my knees weak and crippled by pain from war and lost in the darkness of mental health. Today I have a beautiful son of my own and stood up strong like a rock. The impact songs can have are amazing

      You did that for your father. The comments of some sweep under the rug. Do not allow the negative response from some to cloud the thought of why you played what you played with that one special gift you played in honor of your father is special time that he was able to share with you while he was here. There has always been ugly comments by some that's apart of life. Try not to let it upset you they win by upsetting you. When you least expect it some where in the future you will hear that song, and some where deep past your heart there will be a smile that is felt in your soul that no one can fill it your rock. Your father is still with you just at a greater distance.

    In the previous comments below I salute those who have been through difficult circumstances and their survival. I wish to comment tonight on the lyrics and the band. Mr Seger obviously grew up in the Midwest. The video and lyrics reflect that so well to someone who also grew up in the Midwest ( Central Indiana). A true masterpiece of songwriting. I saw Bob in concert in 1976 as a warmup act to believe it or not Kiss. My friends and I looked at our tickets and wondered prior to the show in Market Square Arena in Indianapolis " who the hell is Bob Seger and the Silver Bullitt Band??? We soon learned what was real and what was fake. Mr. Seger and his band stole the show. A killer, tight band with Alto Reed standing on a stack of amps playing the sax while Bob sang his heart out. I'm 60 soon to turn the calendar on another year and I remember that night well. Thank you Bob Seger. I'm fortunate to have seen you and your band,

    Me and my friends, lived most of our teenage years during the 80's, here, in the mountains of southern West Virginia, and we were like rocks, hair down to our shoulder's, steel in our eyes. Took no crap from anyone, your buddies always had your back, did'nt have to ask. Now, in 2020, I'm 55, half bald, don't see so well and short a few good buddies, who have went on to the other side. I tear up listening to this song, it takes me back for a little while, to a time when we thought we wre going to live forever, and acted like it. Sweet times and fond memories. Be excellent to each other people, we are all we got. Later.

Now, I'm 58 with grown kids and a grandchild and those words "20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years, I don't know" have almost been doubled and this song speaks to me as an old man.

Deal with it or die, it's up to you. It's better to live a lie than to die for truth. I don't have any kids but I've got all my hair and for all practical purposes I'm a 43 year old man who retired early and receives SSI every month like clock work. I'm currently hooking up with a 34 year old chic and since nearly all of my friends have died already, there is very little chance I will be exposed as the fraud that I am.

    A few years ago I attended the funeral of a veteran police officer slain in the line of duty. A young lady from his family sang this haunting song and, at the end, added an extra verse in honor of the departed. There wasn't a dry eye to be seen. This was the additional stanza.
    "Each time I pinned my badge on,
    This mantra I would say:
    'If life offers you battle, don't ever run away.
    When the Devil stalks the righteous,
    You stand fast in his way,
    Like a rock.' Like a rock."
    May the Lord watch over and protect the men and women of that Thin Blue Line who daily risk all to watch over us.

When I hear this song I think of my mom and my dad. They both lost their battle with cancer. They were brave and solid as a rock. They both faced death and accepted their fate. I recognized how strong they were and that in itself makes my problems look so small.

No one can even come close to them also. Songs today so not tell a story, they only keep repeating the same words over and over as if the song writer got stuck writing new words . And today , from the end if the nineties ii seem like the same tunes and some one is trying to put words to the same Melody. Can any of them come up with new melodies and maybe put a story to the tune. What happened to the excellent song writers if yesterday??????

    My husband and I got married when I was18(and pregnant) and he was20. We had the most amazing marriage until cancer took him from me 13 yrs ago. This song always brings to tears because it reminds me of our many wonderful years together when we both were healthy and enjoyed life. I have not remarried. But whenever I hear this song I feel as if Bob wrote this for and about my husband. The lyrics describe my husband so closely it's uncanny. He had the looks of ZZTop and the meanest looking biker-types would make room for us to pass when they saw us coming but he was a real teddy bear unless you would mess with his family. (No one ever did,lol). I will never find another like him: a real man's man yet one who babies would call Santa Claus, much to the dismay of the parents. When I had a memorial for him one year after his death, men he hadn't worked with for 30 years came to pay their respects and to let me know he was the only white boy who could play real basketball in Indiana. Thank you Bob for making a song that is so emotionally close to the best years of my life. I know I will see him again. I still dream about him every night after all these years!!

I came to work 6 days a week, day in and day out, i came. My secret was the love of my life was ripped away from me,! She and I were crazy for eachother, never missed a moment in school to look into eachtoher eyes, and dream of the future! So much love!! My heart stopped beating when it came close to her; It never waivered! Then like a lighting bolt, she was leaving. Her family amid a divorce. I was crushed, barely powder! I went too work , each night i closed i would listen to BOB Segar. It saved me. She eventually came back too town, but she was different somehow; I tried many times to reconnect, but the the dream wqs gone. I miss those days, like arock! I had a purpsoe a hope, true and beautiful! Just like my love, Kisty!

      ten years ago I looked at some of the actors and rock groups I looked up to and as much as they tried to look young they were old just like me, we can all just hope to have loving people to support us ( morally and spiritually ) as we eventually pass on

    I am 38 years old. And I am a male and I am a disabled person. And I am on the Autism spectrum. I play this song to keep myself going on a tough mental and emotional day or when I am tired. But I still need to get things done like cleaning my apartment and doing laundry and washing my dishes. And going grocery shopping.

    My very loved nephew died as a young man around the time this song came out. It was a great comfort to me, and all these years later when I hear it I can still picture my nephew standing tall and strong. Some songs just hit our hearts more than others. This one hits mine…and I’m grateful.

    This song reminds me of my husband. We met at 15. He joined the army just before his 17th birthday. We married a week later. “We” served 34 years in the military and HE is still something to see! After 53 years of marriage he still makes my heart beat fast and we are so happy.
