Bob Seger- Turn the Page

"We had been playing somewhere in the Midwest, on our way to North or South Dakota. We'd been traveling all night from the Detroit area to make this gig, driving in this blinding snowstorm. It was probably 3 in the morning, and time to get gas at a truck stop. We all had very long hair back then - it was the hippie era - but we all stuffed our hair up in their hats. You had to be careful out on the road like that, because you'd get ostracized. When I walked in, there was this gauntlet of truckers making comments - "Is that a girl or man?" I was seething. Anyway, it was at that time that this song came about, recorded a bit later."
