We’ll also hear from an expert on the future of medicine, and another surprise speaker! I think your brain will atrophy over Winter Break if you don’t exercise it, so you should come on down to meet, mingle, drink, and learn with your fellow nerds. Be there and be square.

Bob Seger
Wednesday, December 21st from 7:30─10PM
Oracle Arena, 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland, Price: $84.50─$111.00
Originally a hard-driving rocker in the vein of fellow Michigan garage rockers the Rationals and Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger developed into one of the most popular heartland rockers over the course of the ’70s. Combining the driving charge of Ryder’s Detroit Wheels with Stonesy garage rock and devotion to hard-edged soul and R&B, he crafted a distinctively American sound. While he never attained the critical respect of his contemporary Bruce Springsteen, Seger did develop a dedicated following through constant touring with his Silver Bullet Band. Following several years of missed chances and lost opportunities, Seger finally achieved a national audience in 1976 with the back-to-back release of Live Bullet and Night Moves. After the platinum success of those albums, Seger retained his popularity for the next two decades, releasing seven Top Ten, platinum-selling albums in a row. Source: Ticketmaster.com
