There are music fans, and then there are Bob Seger fans. Evie Branan had been in a coma for five years and when she emerged, the first words out of her mouth were, “I want to go to a Bob Seger concert.”
“Why would I say that?” Branan laughed later when recounting the story to her hometown paper, the Flint Journal, in Michigan. “Maybe my last thoughts were Bob Seger before I had my stroke.” While Branan may have been unsure about why she wanted to see Bob Seger in concert so badly, she was certainly a fan of the “Night Moves” singer. Branan had seen five Seger concerts before her coma, which she fell into after suffering a massive stroke in 2007. She was in a care center for years, unable to speak, until she regained consciousness in May 2011 and announced her desire to see a Seger show. Last Thursday, the 79-year-old woman got the chance to see Seger in concert again.

I am looking but thusfar have not found one. I was living there when Bill Bonds read the story on WDIV.
BTW Seger is finishing up his spring tour next month....he will finish the tour sometime this fall or winter along with a new CD. See him if you can cause he won’t be touring much longer. He’s the real Bruce Springsteen:)
You won’t find anything....Seger was never arrested. This was a story by the ex-wife & her lawyer to get a cash settlement. Simple as that.
if Uncle Joe was afraid to cut the cake, I’m sure he was equally afraid to cut the cord.
Hehe...good one.
But she’s definitely turned the page.
Bob Segar pretty much has to step up on this one.
Seger & the band got a limo & took her to the concert about 2 weeks ago. She met Bob & his family & watched the show.
No sense of time passing while I sleep, either. Any connections to the disconnection?
Are you sure that wasn't when Bonds was on wDUI?
As a side note, Bonds was never a member of WDIV, his entire liberal television career was spent drunk and laced with racial epitats on WXYZ channel 7........
Dang he looks British with those teeth
Time to take those old records off the shelf ...
I can believe that, he really is a great guy. I grew up and was friends with his nephews Scott and Chris Seger, one a year older and one a year younger than me in Brighton. Met him at a couple family reunions they threw when I was in high school, he was as down to earth as they come.
It was great when Bonds went after Coleman Young though, pretty much cost him his career doing it if memory serves.
“I’m glad the hospital didn’t pester the family to harvest her organs but she was 79 so maybe they weren’t viable” I’m sure she didn’t still have “points all her own sitting way up high, way up firm and high”
As long as she didn’t wake up & want to go to a Pete Seeger concert!
(the one Bill Clinton called “America’s best-loved commie”)
