Ogunquit<\/strong> announced today the unveiling of astonishing footage from 1970, showing RTH patron saint of well-intentioned mediocrity <strong>Bob Seger<\/strong> blasting through a white-hot cover of Chuck Berry&#8217;s &#8220;Carol&#8221; while performing at a benefit concert for then-jailed political acitivist John Sinclair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes the most important scientific discoveries are made precisely when one is *not* looking for something,&#8221; said Ogunquit. &#8220;That was true in this case.&#8221; Ogunquit went on to describe how his research staff was in fact seeking vintage Stevie Wonder concert footage when they stumbled across the searing Seger performance. &#8220;Unfortunately,&#8221; said Ogunquit, &#8220;our crack research staff also had to endure nearly an hour of strident &#8212; if not outright retarded &#8212; political commentary, as well as worthless performances by <strong>John Lennon<\/strong> and Allen Ginsburg, to ensure that there was no more than the one song from Bob Seger.&#8221; Ogunquit confirmed that the &#8220;Carol&#8221; performance is the only Seger tune in the grainy film, which was produced in 1971. Ogunquit also said that no RTH Lab staff were injured in the research process.<\/p>\n<p>Ogunquit added: &#8220;For those of you who just want to enjoy this extremely rare concert footage of a young and vibrant Bob Seger, note that his performance starts at the point where aproximately <strong>50 minutes remain<\/strong> in the film.&#8221; Ogunquit closed his remarks by cautioning RTH Townspeople against watching the Ginsburg performance that precedes Seger&#8217;s, saying it could have &#8220;psychologically debilitating&#8221; effects on viewers.<\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RTH Labs compares &#8220;major Seger discovery&#8221; to Dead Sea scrolls WASHINGTON, DC, JULY 12 &#8212; AP &#8212; RTH Labs Senior Archaeologist Milo P.
