[00:00:07]Hey, how you guys doing? Welcome back to Jay Rue TV and I'm back at you guys with another reaction. Now, we'll be reacting to Bob Seger "Turn the Page". You guys, I reacted to this probably 6 to 7 years ago.

[00:00:22]Around the time I first started YouTube.

[00:00:24]And I think I believe I was around 22.

[00:00:28]23, something like that.

[00:00:30]But, um man, I'm just [clears throat] going in and listen to these songs that I heard with a a mind that wasn't fully mature as I am now, so um I sat back [clears throat] and this is one of them that I really want to come back to.

[00:00:45]And um I've been itching to get back to this one.

[00:00:49]Cuz the first time I I was listening, but I didn't actually hear it, you know?

[00:00:57]Let's go.

[00:01:00]>> [music] [music] [music] >> On a long long some highway east [music] of Omaha you can listen to the engine moaning out its one [music] old song. You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before.

[00:01:35]But, your thoughts [music] will soon be wandering the way they always do >> [music] >> when you're riding 16 hours and there's nothing much to do.

[00:01:47]And you don't feel much like riding, >> [music] >> you just wish the trip was through.

[00:01:57]>> [music] >> See you I am >> [music] >> on the road again.

[00:02:24]>> Ooh, I got chills, man.

[00:02:27]That voice is like hauntingly beautiful, man. It's Like it's like telling a story. And I'm listening to the story. I'm 1 minute and 26 seconds in and I'm hearing the story.

[00:02:37]And what I'm taking from this now is that it sound like somebody who's on the road but tired of being on the road.

[00:02:45]Sound like a lonely person.

[00:02:48]I see all the tour dates in all the different states.

[00:02:51]And he's traveling and I'm going on stage again.

[00:02:54]He doesn't sound enthusiastic about it.

[00:02:57]>> [snorts] >> He sounds really lonely.

[00:03:01]He sounds very lonely and I just I start to think like is the fame really worth it?

[00:03:06]Because fame cannot replace >> [clears throat] >> loneliness. It just can't It don't matter how famous you are and it seem like famous people are very lonely. It seem like they happen to be the loneliest people in the world.

[00:03:21]Because you got people constantly wanting something.

[00:03:25]You can't make genuine friends.

[00:03:28]You can't find genuine love.

[00:03:33]I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

[00:03:34]Fame But to be on the road every single day that sounds so lonely and miserable.

[00:03:45]You're sacrificing all of this for fame and fortune. It's not It doesn't sound worth it to me.

[00:03:53]At all. I'd rather turn the page on that.

[00:03:56]Seriously.

[00:03:58]>> [music] [music] >> Will you [singing] walk into a restaurant strung out from the road >> [music] >> and you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold? You pretend it >> [music] >> doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode.
