Jimmy Iovine, the guy who produced my first 3 albums, and who has produced everybody else in the world, was working with Bob Seger back in the early 80's. Jimmy told me this story about Bob Seger. One day he was waiting for Bob in the studio and he called when Bob was one hour late, two hours late, several hours late, waiting for Bob Seger in the studio.

Something like 18 hours later Bob Seger called him. He had jumped on his motorcycle after some sort of (something) and he took off the day before and was 5 states away when Jimmy finally spoke to him. Stevie said, now that's a true rock and roller. So this song (Face the Promise) is my homage to Bob Seger.

And during the song they played all this video of a motorcycle cruising down the highway.

I'm sure once a bootleg surfaces, the story will be clearer than my recollection, but that's the essence of what I remember she said in the intro.

I think that fits the meaning of the song too. You know, gettin' out. No, not Betty Lou.
