Seger and Letterman --
October 1986 By not appearing on
Late Night With David Letterman not once but twice in fall
1986, Seger actually got more airtime and exposure
than he might have gotten if he'd actually been on the
program! So perhaps it was all just
another counter-intuitive stoke of genius by Punch.
To me, Letterman sounds
more angry on these audio-only tapes than he did at the
time. As I watched the show, I thought he was having fun and
getting kind of a kick out of Seger's absence. Listen to the
mp3s and see for youself. MP3s "One
of those complicated things"
"It's
not like Don Kirshner's Rock
Concert" "It's
just that he really wanted to play your favorite
song"
