Ryder was a bit before my time but Seger is probably only second to Aretha Franklin as a Michigan icon. It was impossible to grow up in the seventies or eighties without hearing his music somewhere. He's part of the broader "Detroit" sound though his music mostly name checks Ann Arbor, 40 miles to the west. "Main Street"...
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
