Edward Balian is the author of Turn the Page: the Bob Seger Story.
The book offers a detailed, unbiased and accurate account of Seger’s life and career as a true rock legend, with Tom Weschler (Bob’s former road manager) providing the book’s forward. Turn the Page, follows Bob from his earliest days emerging out of the Detroit music scene, just as fellow artists Kid Rock and Glenn Frey, up through, and including, his current 2019 national tour “Roll Me Away, the Final Tour.” It tracks Seger’s entire music career, including the Silver Bullet Band – comparing the songs and stage shows, similar to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, and Bruce Springsteen’s E-street Band. The book features inside stories, interviews, Bob’s composing, band personnel, recording sessions, tours, and his very private personal life. Turn the Page is a “must” for any true Bob Seger fan. This is the only Bob Seger biography written to date, with over 280 pages, 24 in color with over 60 images, and 224 documented footnotes. Many of the color images are from the distant past, including very rare photos – as a poster advertising a Seger concert headlining John Lennon! The author, Edward Sarkis Balian, Ph.D. grew up in Detroit and was in a local band at the same time as Seger; in fact, they shared the same Detroit entertainment attorney for over four decades. Balian, himself a recording musician (the George-Edwards Group), put together Turn the Page with a steady eye toward accuracy and quality, in his words “Turn the Page summarizes the brilliant and astonishing career of a true Hall of Fame composer and entertainer. Seger’s body of over 50 years of work, coupled to his love of music and an almost unbelievable tenacity, led him to well-deserved fame and fortune. A career full of major challenges – a rock’n’roll roller-coaster to be sure.” Balian is donating 30% of his royalties to charity, 50% to the Seger’s favorite charity, Oakland County Children’s Village.

Come join us under the dome for a planetarium show at Wayne State University! Located in room 0209 Old Main, we’ll do some hands on demonstrations, give you a live star talk about the current night sky and our favorite astronomical objects, and follow up with ‘Phantom of the Universe: The Search for Dark Matter’ – a full dome film about the search for this material that physicists believe makes up 27% of the universe, narrated by Tilda Swinton.
Our planetarium has seating for 60. Children are welcome at our Friday night shows so long as they can enjoy themselves without disturbing the other visitors. Our vocabulary and topics of discussion are geared towards a teen and adult audience so young science enthusiasts will love it but those children new to astronomy may prefer our Young Astronomers show, offered on the second Saturday of the month.
Shows are held on Fridays at 7pm and 8:30pm. Shows start promptly at the posted time, so guests should arrive early to be seated, and give themselves plenty of time to park and walk into the building. Those with reserved seats who are not present 10 minutes prior to the show will have their seats released to walk-in guests if space is limited.
Tickets: 2/3 of our tickets are available for reservation and 1/3 are available to walk-in guests at the door. You can reserve free tickets beginning at noon the Sunday before the show via Eventbrite here: wsuplanetarium.eventbrite.com .

Members, gear up for the rare chance to cycle the village after hours at this new member-exclusive evening. Trikes, fixies, cruisers and road bikes are welcome for a guided ride through 300 years of American history.
Celebrate the boundary-breaking bicycle, an invention that drove the building of roads and development of city planning as much as the car. Henry Ford used bicycle technology in his 1896 Quadricycle, and our high-flying heroes, the Wright brothers, even started in the bike business. There’s no better way to experience transportation inspiration than a pedal-powered cruise through Greenfield Village.
The Wheelmen, spirited heritage bike enthusiasts, will be riding alongside you on penny-farthings and other iconic wheels to keep the fun rolling. Plus, we’ll open a few special locations to restore our riders: Frozen Custard, Sir John Bennett Sweet Shop, State Street Lunch Stand and Mrs. Fisher’s will be serving fan favorites for pit stops.
Tickets are limited, so reserve your spot early.
Not a member? Join today and take advantage of these special days of fun and savings: www.thf.org/membership/.
