"Cars made by Detroit automakers race through his songs. One of the most famous, "Night Moves," was set in the backseat of a "'60 Chevy." Years later, Chevrolet turned another Seger song, "Like a Rock," a commercial theme." "His latest album, Face the Promise, has Seger touring again at age 61..On Face the Promise, he once again turns to writing about cars, but in not such a positive way. In "Between," he sings: World keeps getting hotter Ice falls in the sea We buy a bigger engine and say it isn't me." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6734993
If he feels so strongly about it, maybe he should drop his contract with Chevy to use his music to advertise their trucks.

I don't remember hearing it that much lately, and according to this 2004 article, Chevy was cutting back on it even then in favor of other songs. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_...38/ai_112683609
I've been hearing "American Pie" quite a bit lately. Of course, they cut the words just shy of "this will be the day that I die."

But then again, I always thought that one lyric was "I've had it in my rear before." Boy is that embarrassing or what?
