Here's some hard-core Seger trivia, complete with comments from the man himself.

1. In the classic song "Night Moves," Seger sings that he "started humming a song from 1962." What song was he actually humming?

Answer: It was the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," Seger confided..

2. What's wrong with that "Night Moves" scenario?

Answer: "Be My Baby" was actually released in 1963. "Well, yeah," Seger says in defense, "but I wrote ('Night Moves') in 1976, so I was already too old and getting my dates wrong."

3. The Top 40 hit "Roll Me Away" ends with Seger promising "Next time, we'll get it right." What's he talking about?

Answer: The song is a travelogue inspired by a motorcycle trip Seger took in 1980. Its centerpiece is a brief -- and, Seger adds, entirely fictional -- romance with a woman he met along the way. That last line is the protagonist's pledge to do better with his next relationship.

4. Seger has met several of his musical idols over the years -- including Bob Dylan, Tina Turner and Little Richard. There's one icon, however, he never got to meet. Any guesses who?

Answer: "I'm sorry that I never met James Brown, because he was one of my hugest influences," he says.

5. What inspired the song "Against the Wind"?

Answer: The song is not as metaphorical as it sounds. After failing to make it as a quarterback in high school, young Seger signed up for track and field. His passion for running and training, he says, was the initial inspiration for "Against the Wind." "I always wanted to write a song about being a runner," he says. "I don't think anybody got that, but that's where the 'Against the Wind' title came from."

6. What's the best email address to use to reach Bob Seger?

Answer: "I don't have and never have had an email address," he says.
