• The Stranger In Town album peaked at Number Four on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold more than five million copies.
• There was a song titled “Stranger In Town,” but Bob Seger chose not to put it on the album, and it remains unreleased.
• Seger says the subject of “Still The Same” is actually “an amalgamation of characters I met when I first went to Hollywood — all Type A personalities, overachieving, driven. It was another great reason to base out of Michigan.”
• Of recording the song, he says, “It was just Chris Campbell, David Teegarden, and me in the studio when we cut this.”
• The song was also one of keyboardist Robyn Robbins‘s last performances with the Silver Bullet Band. Grand Funk Railroad member Craig Frost later replaced him.

• Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
