I think Fagen today sounds like a douche towards those fans, making jokes about their age.


I read his book and came away understanding just how screwed up this guy really is. To begin with he's extremely paranoid and fears that he may find himself in a conversation with a fan. He writes that he's never felt comfortable listening to someone heap adulation on him and doesn't really understand it.

He talks about sleeping on the bus versus even risking checking into his hotel room for fear of running into someone wearing a Steely Dan T Shirt.

Oh and by the way, Deacon Blues is one of the greatest songs ever written/recorded.

They also do a great job of making fun of themselves. My favorite is the taped show from NYC at Sony Studios. The camera crew is outside doing interviews with folks waiting to get in when they ask this chick what her favorite SD song is. She gushes and says, "I just love Year of the Cat."

How many acts would allow something like that to be aired.

Side 1 of Aja--Black Cow, Aja, and Deacon Blues is in my top 5 album sides of all time. I could loop that all day.

Interesting article on the Eight Minutes of Genius that is the song "Aja".

Neil Peart is the same way.
