'Started humming a song from 1962, Ain't it funny how the night moves...'

Ok, where are my fellow Bob Seger fans? My post today is inspired by his 1976 hit 'Night Moves'.

'Night Moves' was the song which took Seger from a regional success to a national star. It was his breakthrough hit - there's a chevy, there's a cornfield, it's basically a better version of 'American Pie'. A tale of young lovers spending a summer on the dusty trail, an allusion to the speed of time and a sentimental account of free love.

Listening to this song, I can feel the sunshine on my legs. And well, I like that - I live in Manchester, it doesn't happen too regularly. As a writer, nothing inspires me more than good music, and whenever I listen to Night Moves I automatically formulate a story, a scenario and ultimately a fantasy.

I listen to this song, and I'm rolling along Route 66 in an old chevrolet. Heat thick around my shoulders, and a gentle breeze tousling my hair. And I'm inspired, I think of Aerosmith's 'Crazy' video with Alicia Silverstone & Liv Tyler taking on the world in a blue Mustang convertible. I think of Clarence & Alabama heading for Mexico in 'True Romance'.

It's about free love, life on the road and an appreciation for life. And delivering on my fashion post promise, see my 'Night Moves/Ke -dollar sign - HA' inspired outfit selection here - http://pinterest.com/mirandahogan/night-moves/
