    This is Part TWO of Play That Rock n' Roll's retrospective about the legendary career of BOB SEGER. In this episode, we cover the commercial heyday of the Silver Bullet Band, Bob's foray into the MTV era, and what he has been up to in recent years. We also discuss some major pop culture events Bob passed on, his connections to Miami Vice, and the biggest chart hit of his career.
