who was the girl in bob seger night moves
Night Moves (song) "Night Moves" has roots in Seger's adolescence; he wrote the song in an attempt to capture the "freedom and looseness" he experienced during that period of his life. At a certain point, he began socializing with a rougher crowd, who thought he was cool because he played music.[1] The song's contents are largely autobiographical; for example, the group of friends would often hold parties they called "grassers", which involved going to a farmer's field outside Ann Arbor to dance.[2] Through these, he met a woman—credited as Rene Andretti in the Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings—whose boyfriend was in the military and was away.[3] "It's about this dark haired Italian girl that I went out with when I was 19, she was one year older than me," he later recalled.[4] Seger promptly pursued a romantic relationship with the girl, but eventually her partner returned and they married, leaving Seger with a broken heart.[5] Seger later told journalist Timothy White that many of his early songs were written to impress the girl.[6]
