Silly Bob Seger. “Less
bolder” doesn’t make any sense
And because Rock and Roll Never Forgets, you're not going to let anyone forget about this lyric?
That's right.
Today's Sametime Status deals with the 1976 Bob Seger classic "Rock and Roll Never Forgets." It's a song about...uhmm...well, I don't remember.
Awful joke. Just awful.
The first line of the song is as follows, "So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder than you used to be." This is nonsense. Less bolder? Adding the suffix "er" to something means to make it more of whatever the adjective was in the first place. This seems to completely counteract the adverb "less" in the same sentence...in fact, merely one word before. So, is this person the same amount of bold now than they used to be? Or is the even more superfluous "a lot" quantifier mean that the less is more less than the "er" is more? I'm confused.
Not the first time you've been confused about something, Jeremy. You're also now confusing everyone else.
So anyway, I guess I'm asking Bob Seger for a little clarification here. So, how about it, Bob? Leave a comment with the link below. Thank you in advance.
