Larry,
When we lived in LA I heard that “Steely Dan” referred to a silver dildo … since you’ve read the books – is that true?

Cool story anyway.

On another topic – What’s up, its been weeks since your last posting.

vikkitikitavi – You of all people should know that it was “Rikki,” not “Ricky.”

“Ricky Don’t Lose That Number” was genius enough, but it turned out to be child’s play compared to what they were capable of. And they have remained enigmatic – not an easy feat in this world. Yay on them.

kStyle – It might be a 70’s thing. If you weren’t there when it started, the music doesn’t exactly invite you in. But I’m sure you have the memories. You just haven’t discovered them yet.

Blue Girl – I’ve liked Steely Dan since the very beginning, but not as much since I started reading this stupid book about them.

Ron – It’s hard to sound perfect when you’re playing live, which was one big reason why they didn’t tour during their biggest years. But these days the technology has improved so that it’s possible to more faithfully recreate the recordings live, and they sound pretty damned good in concert. (I saw them last summer.)

BG Again – The live performance aspect is so compelling I wish I could go to more shows, just to be with the music lovers.

Holly – Don’t be teasin’ your Uncle Larry!

Girlfriend – New word for the day: “Highlightening.” I love it!

I saw Steely Dan once. I cannot say I had much of a connection to the band, but the person who bought the ticket did.

I’m glad I went and thanks for highlightening why it was important for me to go.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Ron, they are excellent in concert.

And not to rub it in, but last time I saw them — about 12 rows back from the stage, it was *so awesome* to be surrounded by others who loved them so much that it was just…..magic.

Yeah, yeah–but did you ever get to see Steely Dan yourself? I used to wonder if they’d sound very good since I’d read so much of their good work was the result of things and people in the studio that might not accompany them on tour. But in Texas we were not often at risk of having access to no damn Steely Dan tee shirts! I thought they were God, no matter what!
