<Ul> <Li> Punch Andrews </Li> <Li> Bob Seger </Li> </Ul> <P> "Turn the Page" is a song originally released by Bob Seger in 1973 on his Back in' 72 album . Though never released as a single, Seger's live version of the song on the 1976 Live Bullet album became a mainstay of album - oriented rock radio stations, and still gets significant airplay to this day on classic rock stations . </P> <P> "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: </P> <P> We had been playing somewhere in the Midwest, or the northern reaches, on our way to North or South Dakota . (Guitarist) Mike 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 down to exit the interstate and spied a truck stop . We all had very long hair back then--it was the hippie era--but Skip, Mike and Bob had all stuffed their hair up in their hats . You had to be careful out on the road like that, because you'd get ostracized . When I walked in, there was this gauntlet of truckers making comments--"Is that a girl or man?" I was seething; those guys were laughing their asses off, a big funny joke . That next night, after we played our gig--I think it was Mitchell, S.D.--Seger says, "Hey, I've been working on this song for a bit, I've got this new line for it . He played it on acoustic guitar, and there was that line: "Oh, the same old cliches /' Is that a woman or a man?"' It was "Turn the Page ." </P>
