Want to know a secret about Bob Seger? He might just be one of the nicest guys in rock. Although Seger has been a household name since the 1976 release of his straight-to-the-top-of-the-charts albums “Live Bullet” and “Night Moves,” he sounds more like an enthusiastic newcomer than what some might assume would be a jaded musical veteran who released seven platinum albums in a row.

“I think it’s a lot of fun and there are a lot of acts I want to see,” said the Detroit-bred Seger when asked what keeps him touring and playing festivals. “I really enjoy being with the people that I play with.”
