Old Time Rock and Roll Dad
Posted on 13. Dec, 2006 by Brian Reid in celebs, media
I have to be honest: I really hadn’t noticed that Bob Seger had all but disappeared from the rock scene for the last decade. But apparently, the musical genius behind “Old Time Rock and Roll,” had indeed taken some time off to do the at-home dad thing, according to a piece in the Kansas City Star (the city, apparently, had its mind blown by playing host to the At-Home Dad Convention and now can’t resist writing about dads). So add Seger to the list of celebs who have done the at-home dad thing.
Waiting on Babble: Babble.com is apparently launching tonight. The New York Times profiled the hipper-than-me online mag on Sunday, but what struck me as revolutionary was not that the pub would be hip, but that the folks behind it expected to capture … dads. Best of luck in that effort, and I can’t wait to see the product.

RD,
great catch on the Seger link. Having been raised in Michigan, it is the law to love Seger (kind of like Billy Joel in Long Island, Springsteen in Jersey, etc.). In many interviews, I find him to be a down to earth guy who doesn’t get caught up in the rock star stuff. Maybe he could be the keynote speaker at the convention next year. I was unable to see the show in KC. Hopefully another tour is down the road.
BTW, if you go to the KC Star blog link, you’ll see an interesting performance by William Shatner, Ben Folds, and Joe Jackson.
