The Distance (Bob Seger Album)
''The Distance'' is the twelfth studio album by US-American rock singer Bob Seger. It was released in the final week of 1982 (see 1982 in music). It peaked at #5 on ''Billboard''s album chart and sold close to two million copies in the United States. Seger, influenced by the Woody Allen film ''Annie Hall'', originally intended the album to be built around the theme of relationships but eventually that fell apart when Seger decided that sticking to the theme too strictly would make the album "maudlin". Several songs based on the original theme made it on the album: the hit single " Even Now", "Love’s the Last to Know", "House Behind a House" and the album closer "Little Victories". The album's lead single, " Shame on the Moon", was one of Seger's biggest hits, holding at #2 for four weeks on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It also hit #1 Adult Contemporary and crossed over to #15 Country. Capitol Records had stopped manufacturing albums in the 8-track tape cartridge format ...

The song became a mainstay of album-oriented rock radio stations, and still gets significant airplay on classic rock stations. Inspiration "Turn the Page" is about the emotional and social ups and downs of a rock musician's life on the road. Seger wrote it in 1972 while touring with Teegarden & Van Winkle. Drummer David Teegarden (of Teegarden & Van Winkle and later the Silver Bullet Band) recalls: We had been playing somewhere in the Midwest, or the northern reaches, on our way to North or South Dakota. uitaristMike Bruce was with us. We'd been traveling all night from the Detroit area to make this gig, driving in this blinding snowstorm. It was probably 3 in the morning. Mike decided it was time to get gas. He was slowing do ...

Seger expanded: The song is about aging and the ongoing power of rock music. The song advises the 31 year old listener to return to the rock 'n' roll she loved when she was 16. The song also s ...
