How to work one of his hits song into the opening? Hmm. "After all these years, Seger's tour plans are Still the Same." No, that's not right. Um . . . "do Bob Seger's night moves still have that Old Time Rock and Roll? Fans will soon find out." Or, just state the facts.

And you're thinking, what an irrelevant, washed-up act, just trying to get some more money out of a declining career by making tail-end boomers feel slightly young again. You might think that, but did you know who sold the most catalog albums in the decade just completed? Not the Beatles. Not the Stones. Seger. Nine million units.
