<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> <P> Tom Weschler, then road manager for Seger, remembers the same incident: </P> <P> "Turn the Page," Bob's great road song, came along in' 72, while we were driving home from a gig . I think we were in Dubuque, Iowa, in winter and stopped at a restaurant . We stood out when we entered a store or a gas station or a restaurant en masse . At this restaurant it was particularly bright inside, so there weren't any dark corners to hide in . All these local guys were looking at us like, "What are these guys? Is that a woman or a man?"--just like in the song...That was one incident, but there were so many others on the road that led Seger to write that song . </P> <P> Both Seger's studio and live versions of "Turn the Page" feature a mellotron and a saxophone part played by founding Silver Bullet member Alto Reed . Tom Weschler allegedly helped inspire Reed to create the opening melody . During recording, Weschler told Reed: "Alto, think about it like this: You're in New York City, on the Bowery . It's 3 a.m. You're under a streetlamp . There's a light mist coming down . You're all by yourself . Show me what that sounds like ." With that, Reed played the opening melody to "Turn the Page". </P>
