Okay this one should be quite interesting.

Songs with names mentioned in it, but not in the title of the song.

Many name references. Many pictures. Listen for Aretha. Look for Uncle Lawrence of Chicago. Look for the amateur radio operator with the callsign W2JOF.

If you see anyone else you recognize in the video, please ID them with the time seen. Some of these pictures literally look like teenage guest disk jockeys.

Against The Wind-Bob Seger

Janie. Believed to be the girl he had an 11 year relationship with from 1972-1983. Don't know who else it could be, if it was at least partially autobiographical. There are other references to what was going on then. I've talked to Janie's former neighbors and they all think this is what it was about. There's a nondisclosure order so I won't post the surname, but I'm sure you can look it up if you don't already know. They have some interesting stories though. As do the folks who work in the restaurants near the Airport Up North. I will say this. I spotted him on a motorcycle near Alanson once. My spouse didn't know what he would be doing there and she thought he looked more like Kenny Rogers, which he actually did at the time, as photographs soon revealed. This was before "Roll Me Away". Which is also at least partly autobiographical.
