"I smoked five packs of cigarettes a day. It was the hardest thing to put them away". That's the only words my buddy "Coughy" could remember from the Bob Seger song from 1981.
We called him "Coughy " because of his chronic Post-Nasal Drip. He claimed that his allergic reactions began after accidentally inhaling the purple dust from a Pixie Stick he bought over at The Neighborhood Store on Broadway.
Anyways... Bob recorded the song for the live album "Nine Tonight". It was written by Eugene Williams and originally made popular by soul-singer Otis Clay.
Mr. Seger remains one of my top ten favorite Bobs. He came out of a long retirement in '06, went on Letterman,toured, then went back into hiding. He can be heard on a new Little Feat song, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Guitar Hero.
You can hear "Trying To Live My Life Without You" kicking off the 9@9on Friday, September 26th on my station: 95-3 BOB-FM.
As always, thanks for your support!
Bob
