So you’re a little bit older

October 22, 1976 –

Bob Seger releases his ninth studio album (and his first studio album to credit the Silver Bullet Band,) Night Moves, on this date. It is his first studio album to make an impact outside of Michigan.<

The phrase “night moves” has a number of meanings, which made it an intriguing song title. It could mean “putting the moves on” a girl in the back seat of a car, but Seger says it also relates to the impromptu parties he and has buddies threw in the fields of Ann Arbor, Michigan, where they would turn on the headlights and dance their “night moves.” They called these gatherings “grassers.”
