** "Turn the Page" was remixed by underground Rapper Sage Francis, retitled "My Name Is Strange." It's surprisingly pretty good. Music/{{Metallica}}'s version also gets significantly more airplay.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: At Seger's last show at the Palace of Auburn Hills in his 2011 spring tour, his children Cole and Samantha joined him on stage during the song, "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You", playing saxophone and tambourine (respectively). It's especially poignant in that Cole, who had been known by fans as the cute baby boy on the back of Seger's first ''Greatest Hits'' album, was now a graduating senior in high school.

** While he was the first to record "Old Time Rock and Roll", it's credited to {{Soul}} songwriters George Jackson[[note]]Who also wrote The Osmonds' "One Bad Apple"[[/note]] and Thomas E. Jones III. Seger says he just kept the original's chorus and rewrote the verses, but declined to take credit. Others say Seger didn't actually change anything at all.
