When Martha Seger was Michigan's Financial Institutions bureau commissioner in 1981 and 1982, a state senator said she was sometimes "pimping for the bankers." In reply, Seger later quipped, "The whores in the legislature are on such long-term contracts that they do not need pimps." With that spirit and wit, she should be able to stand the heat in her next job.

...thorough smash, this album is a collection of loose-limbed rockers and high-reaching ballads. Every cut has its eye fixed on the top of the charts with such calculation and skill that listening to the whole record straight through is like being held for ransom at WKRP. Seger is a topflight regional rocker out of Detroit, but this time around he is sticking to formula so rigidly that he has started to rewrite himself...
...Geils Band: Love Stinks (EMI-America). Best title of the year. "I been through diamonds/ I been through minks/I been through it all/ Love stinks" is good cautionary advice for a heady season. It's not Sir John Suckling, but it sure beats Seger's pastilles about star-crossed lovers and drip-dry romances. The J. Geils Band, like Seger, has a hard r & b foundation, but, unlike Seger, they are not going overripe. This is a good-times record that makes no apologies for its frivolity, comes off fresh, wild and goofy -like a recital...
