Somewhere between 1980 and 1993 I lost Steely Dan, but wait they were never really lost, they just took a break from each other. Fagen and Becker decided they had had enough of the touring, recording, touring, eating, touring, recording and I could go on and on but… Now they are back on tour, and after reading the article in today (7/31) USAToday about how they’re recreating entire albums in their new tour, I almost wish I had the funds to follow them as not a Groupie, but as a true connessouier of their music.
It mesmerized me as a young weed smokin kid of the 70′s and 80′s and their jazz infused classics “Aja” and “The Royal Scam” are mainstays in the in my vinyl library. You can learn alot about how we “image” radio just by listening to these guys make incredible music. If you are any where close to Chicago, LA, or NY you really must make it a point to see them live, your life will be better for it.
