And I feel like a number, feel like a number
Feel like a stranger, a stranger in this land
I feel like a number, I’m not a number
I’m not a number, Dammit I’m a man
I said I’m a man
Feel like a number is my favorite Bob Seger song. When I hear it now, I think of those early Negro League players and the frustration they must have felt at being denied things we take for granted today. Being able to eat when and where they wanted.
