[QUOTE=charlene;186124]According to the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and U.S. Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, there are a few veteran artists currently out on the road on tour.
“Bob Seger is out on one and Tom Petty’s out on one. They come and they go. We work around these guys all the time. We actually play more than they do,” he joked.

Bob Seger is touring on the strength of his new album "Ride Out". He never toured Australia, apparently due to fear of flying. When his last album was released, I briefly considered travelling to one of his North American concerts, but didn't go through with it.

It's interesting that Gord is still writing plenty of songs, despite not having the time or inclination to record them. I wonder if the lyrics of some of those songs could be published one day.
