I learned to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me New York Mets

Look, I know we've already got one Mets suck thread, but that's not nearly enough. I'm looking at 5 or 6 different threads by season end

Surprised to see this. Hadn’t pegged you a Steely Dan guy

Big fan. Deacon Blues is one of my fantasy BB team's name and that is the avi I use for them.

I sometimes use the cover of Aja as my avi here.

I've seen them a bunch of times, most notably when they played Aja in its entirety at the Wang Theater in Boston. I had awesome seats, here's the view from them:

I think there is a theater of the penis out in Vegas. I seem to remember seeing an ad for it when I was out there in the spring.

Or maybe I was just dreaming about it.

I think "is" is appropriate. I don't see Fagan releasing any new material as Steely Dan, but they are touring this summer.

The characters and/or situations in their songs are often sketchy. Pretty clever lyrics, too.

As far as I'm concerned, theirs is the most sophisticated pop music ever recorded.

I studied at Berklee for a minute in the mid 90's, and one of my favorite professors was a HUGE Steely Dan fan, so I took up a collection and we got him a couple tickets to see them at Great Woods Amphitheater.

"Steely Dan" is a reference to William S. Burroughs' 1959 novel Naked Lunch, a book I'll admit to reading but not actually understanding. In Naked Lunch, "Steely Dan III from Yokohama" is a steam-powered dildo, which is not really something that comes to mind when listening to "Reelin' In The Years."

Did you read Naked Lunch?
