Tickled by the jazz snobs who diss Burn's series. Personally, I never knew heroin was such a CLASSIC. You know, like those silver eveready batteries and wendy's bacon cheeseburger. I would have tried it long ago if I'd known Parker, Davis and Coltrane were advocates.
P.S. The soundtrack of "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" is excellent.

Some nice tie-ins near the end of Jazz. Great to see and hear Cassandra Wilson. What a Shame they didn't play a cut from Branfor'd's Renaissance - overwhelmed by younger bro. But where the fuck was Steely Dan? I'm more convinced, or more deluded to be more accurate, after watching a good bit of the series that Two Against Nature is SDs truest jazz album (Cousin excepted). Katy Lied maybe second-trailing a bit. What if they really invented a new jazz: "Funk-tion" (as in I Can't) and no one noticed 'cause folks think it sounds like Gacho, even though it bears little structural resemblance. Why my delusion? COMMUNICATION among the insturments/musicians or a DAMN convincing imitation. They groove. They funk. They swing. Talk amongst yahselves..

Speaking of beta testing, it's become painfully clear the Talk City chat room is no longer working out. Many people have complained they can't access the room half the time or that your usernames no longer seem to be valid. I know I can no longer access the room with my username. Anyway, I'm not sure what types of changes Talk City made to the configuration but it sucks. Not to mention the advertisements are a pain.
SO...
I figured why not just run my own little chat server. I've got a server in the garage and with the exception of the release of 2AN, there is rarely more than 10 people in the room at anytime so I can't imagine bandwidth will be a problem.
This Sunday I'd like to try it out. I'll change the chat room entrance page to point at the new chat room. I'd like to encourage as many of you as possible to stop in for a visit sometime between 6:00 PM 9:00 PM PST. Instructions will be provided, but basically all you need is a web browser that supports Java (most do) and that's it.
See you Sunday!

Regarding tribute bands: As is the case with the Pink Floyd newsgroups and bulletin boards, there is a hard core of folks who do not like the idea of a tribute band. If you are philosophically opposed to tribute bands, you certainly are entitled. However, I think it is incorrect to believe that musicians play in tribute bands "for the money." I can tell you that there is very little profit in the "business" of tribute bands. I know many tribute band players and two things generally are true about them (1) they are intensely devoted and passionate about the artists to which they pay tribute and (2) they have original bands. Speaking from our experience, it is incredible when 100 or 1000 "Floydheads" come see us play at a small night club or at the House of Blues. Our audience are hard core Floyd fans and what happens is that all of us -- band and audience -- get to share our passion and love for the music of Pink Floyd. As for the contention that we "take away" from audiences that might otherwise go to original music, I can tell you that we have the opposite effect. We play many shows with original bands and provide those bands with an audience that they otherwise would not reach. Those bands that play with us NEVER complain about the fact that we draw people to see their shows. The Steely Damned is just about the best tribute band I've ever seen. Give Bob points, not deductions, for singing in his own voice -- after all it's a damn site better than trying to imitate Don and ending up sounding like a parody. Stay home if you like, that's your choice. But I guarantee that if you showed up, you would be unable to resist the high quality musicianship that the Steely Damned brings to bear on the music that brings you all to Sign In Stranger in the first place. This has been a promotional announcement by Dan Johnson of W1P Presents. Void if relied upon.

Greetings from LA's Pink Floyd tribute band, Which One's Pink? A couple of things. First, of all, despite my immersion in Floyd, I named my 10 month-old daughter Aja not Vera Lynn. Second, I'm going to NY 3/21 to the morning of 3/24 for the HOF celebration and to renew my acquaintence with that certain Steely Dan tribute band from south of us -- an absolute must for any DanHead. Third, I can't stay for Rockola because my band is booked in Las Vegas on 3/24 and I cannot miss a show where I am required to snort like a pig and laugh like a brain damaged (which is all I do with the band because I lack talent. Fourth, we are booked on 3/3 at Paladino's in Tarzana, CA with Orange County based Steely Dan tribute -- the Steely Fan band. These guys are quite good and worth seeing if you're in the 'hood. Hope to meet you all. Signed, Dan "Brain Damaged Pig Snorter" Johnson

Well howdy all! I like to be fashionably late to all parties, and there certainly seems to be one going on today! I was getting a little bored lurking on the board this morning so I took a swim through the archives. Looks like I might have joined the GB a coupla weeks too late. Had some pretty heated discussions earlier this month re: porn, heavy breathing, "my country's cooler than your country" and the like. Some pretty enthralling stuff there. Really. But I'd much rather belly up, as it were. So, now, who's the bartender/dress?? I'll take a Grand Marnier straight up. Not in one of those snooty snifters, just a plain ol' rocks glass. But no rocks! Just straight and smooth...that's how I like it. Mmmm...much better.

than gin and olives or onions or a twist of citrus rind should simply be called
something else (like a Cosmopolitan or a Melon Ball, et alia).

Perhaps the men were all insanely jealous (of YGK, of course!) while the women were all moved by a tide of colloquialistic "you go, girl"-type emotions. Or something.
Sounded like a rough day for you yesterday...hope it's gotten better. Otherwise, you might need another cyberdistraction to cheer you.
Perhaps you should take applications.
Missed Jazz *again*. Guess I might just have to acquire the set.

hey, who got their regattabar jazz fest mailing yesterday - a perfect way to be greeted on the homefront, yes! i was so psyched! - i already have my brubeck tix for next month's performance at berklee, anyone into going to see jon scofield as a dan-fan get together? forgot the date, didn't bring the mailer in with me to work, so will post that detail tomorrow...there are also other fantastic venues on that mailer, it may be a tough decision.....for it is now blatantly obvious i need to get out more, no?
ygk, still friends? are you recovered? did not mean to use you so ferociously yesterday, i hope you are of age....sheesh, that's all i need....my intent was actually to further irritate the average dan fan after his posting of a list of GB postings that irritate him last week, one of which was GB romances, so i decided to run with that and your namesake was the first to come to mind...ah well....fun, no? kisses, muwa! :p
aussie, wormy, and blaise, still speaking to me?
why is it the women were entertained and could see the big picture of it all but the men were so obviously not and appeared even offended? hmmmm, another discussion could ensue on that topic alone, wow!
dano, my protectorate, have a happy day! leave it to a scotsman to keep their sense of humor...

Dr Mu: I could deal with all the biographical info on Parker because his story certainly seemed uniquely tragic but I'm with you on all the other storytelling excesses of Burns. It should be just about the music, but alas, it's not. That's the trend in all bio shows on t.v. these days unfortunately. In the profiles of the 50 greatest athletes that ESPN did I was shocked to see at least five minutes devoted to the topic of how Larry Byrd doesn't have much contact with the daughter he fathered in high school. Who the fuck cares
ruby: longtime, no see. welcome back. I pulled "Katy Lied" from the depths of the CD rack over the weekend for the first time in years. It was like the return of an old friend. Hope you had a similar experience with TAN. Of course, then I went back to cranking Deep Purple so all the good musical vibes were vanquished

Comments:
Ken Burns still has the knack for creating a wonderful story in narration over photo style, stitching snapshots of lives and performances together. However, there does seem to be a bit of an obsession over the private lives of the performers at the expense of enveloping the MUSIC. Indeed, it is sad how horse kicked Charlie Parker, how booze pickled the tragic, and how anger possessed the soul of Miles Davis. But the whirlwind mini-segments on Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme for those obsessions have to be the worst trades since Dubya shipped Sammy Sosa out of Arlington, TX. A bit too much Wynton as well instead of say bra' Branson.
Still, the historical pieces surrounding the birth of jazz and early Louis Armstrong was great stuff. Horace Silver finally got a mention. Yes, the series will be on the X-mas list.

Middelhoff said.

Bertelsmann, the parent company of the BMG music unit, signed a watershed
co-operation deal with Napster in October. It's trying to bring the Internet
music site together with other players in the industry in an effort to
legitimatize the popular Web site.

Napster is in talks to enlist other record companies, including the four other
majors Sony, EMI Group, Warner Music and Universal.

Hi to all!
You know how you put something you value away in a *special place* so it won't get lost? And then, when you really need that thing, you forget where you put it? Well, when we packed our stuff to move, I put a few cds in a separate place so I could get at them...
It's been 3 solid months since I've heard Two Against Nature - but I just found it! I'm going to listen to it shortly. Maybe it will feel like the first time, the very first time. I'll let ya know!
RoyScam: That's a great point about "Don't Let Me In" being a perfect sequel song to "Jack of Speed." I think I'm going make a new SD cd for my car and put DLMI just after JOS. You're a genius!! The contrast of the music, but the related themes will be awesome!

Ken Burns: 45 seconds on 'Kind of Blue,' 4.5 minutes on how Miles beat his wife, 7.5 minutes on Louis Armstrong's first heart attack. Bo-do-bop-bed-de-bop!

Does anyone remember a song from the 50's or 60's called
"Zombie Jamboree" ? It was an up-tempo Caribbean sounding number, I
think recorded by The Kingston Trio. It had the lines,
"Back to back, belly to belly.
Well I don't give a damn cause I've done that already."
Anyway, the song "Two Against Nature" always makes me think of it. I
guess I just like supernatural, happy sounding dance numbers involving dead
people.
Two more insignificant
observations which I voice here, in hopes that someone will agree and thus
validate my cyber existence:
1) "Don't Let Me In" , though written decades ago, would be a good
sequel to "Jack of Speed". Sort of like saying. 'Teddy's back and he's
pleading, but don't listen to him; his skates are still stuck in reverse.'
2) The first ten seconds of "Negative Girl" sounds like a Miles Davis
record.
May your backs and bellies align with each other's in all permutations of rhythmic celebrations,

this is what brings us here, a nice little break, spandex jackets for everyone - see blaise, i did not forget, i'm happily married, but even us women doin it all with confidence and flair need to be told a dress looks better off than on, even if it's not real. odd, yes i know, it is a little odd- but have i ever been normal here, no, no, for THAT is reserved for the real world.....

In the Birmingham Sunday Mercury (7th Jan 2001)
Worker Dead at Desk for 5 Days
Bosses of a publishing firm are
trying to work out why no one noticed that
one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for FIVE DAYS
before anyone asked if he was feeling okay. George Turklebaum, 51, who had
been employed as a proof-reader at a New York firm for 30 years, had a
heart
attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly
passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an
office cleaner asked why he was still working during the weekend. His boss
Elliot Wachiaski said "George was always the first guy in each morning and
the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that he was in the
same position all that time and didn't say anything. He was always
absorbed in his work and kept much to himself."
A post mortem examination revealed
that he had been dead for five days
after
suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proofreading manuscripts of
medical textbooks when he died. You may want to give your co-workers a
nudge occasionally.

Don't understand why you choose to post anonymous to say
this. Nobody else goes "LOL" like that... kinda gives you up...
When I first came in (seems like years ago but it wasn't that long ago in
relative terms), the first one who welcomed me in a sympathetic way was... Clas.
Maybe that's why I can't bring myself to hate the guy's guts the way others do
around here.
It was a tad harder back then to feel welcomed. Sorry but, in all fairness, the
asshole amigo did have a point there. Luckily, things have changed. A lot more
newcomers back then would disappear out of being ignored. I was guilty of that
myself.
My take.

"A community of dan fans"? It used to be,
maybe. Quoting lines from the SD catalog did not always suffice, darling. Look
at blaize or the wurm, since you mention them. These two dolts had to wait
months, litterally posting tons of SD-related material, offering countless
scoops, insights and picking up babbling newbies by the side of the road before
even being acknowledge as existing at all and ending up burned out and bitter.
Back then, this community was more exclusive, mostly made up of Virginians, a
few folks from Seattle, a handful of other americans and a couple of odd swedes
thrown in for good measure. Nowadays, newbies are welcomed right away and impose
themselves more easily, however inane and unsubstantial their contribution. You
have it easy, newbies. Never forget that , be thankful for your good fortune and
pay your respect to those who had to earn it the hard way. And if you don't know
who they are, do your homework. There was life here before you were born, you

to add to the anon thingy - we are all anonmyous posters here in a way- very few of us post under our "real" names but have taken on some kind of a handle to id ourselves, but it is not the same ID as on our driver's license. so, really, aa, since you post as aa, we know who you are - aa, and it's not anonymous
what gets confusing in here is when people post under another's recognized handle or when there's too many alphabet soup chef's are out there (ala the aa, bb, cc thread that was going on last month [?]) or under no name at all (a personal irritant)
but for me, i post under the obscure celebrity/cartoon character thingy at times, but you all know it's me, right? who else is that twisted? wait, don't answer that
okay back to saving the world - today from poor legal writing
and to the average steely dan fan that posted last week about postings that irritate? my response: the weather is bleak in new england today, my husband's job is great, but he's getting a little burnt out, i'm considering a cyber-fling-posting thread today with ygk with a very public break-up tomorrow, the leftover chili from the superbowl party i had last night was great, and, finally - chat rooms do not lend themselves to lengthy conversation, this place does, get used to it or scroll on by - this is a community of steely dan fans that post on the occasion of which we please, if we talked about steely dan every posting, it would be boring and it would not have that community feel or rather a splat of a an opinion - oh, more thing:

The intellectual posturing (your term, remember, not mine) is actually quite interesting, and I am not quite concerned about table manners right this minute (do you type with your mouth open?).
Swedish ginger cookies are best purchased in bulk, as our esteemed Donald and Walter can attest. I cannot count myself among the ranks of surly D&D employees (I am gainfully employed, though), I would guess you'd have to pay the same reasonable prices as the rest of us.
However, I might treat you to one. Or perhaps two. We have our limits, though.

Nevertheless, abusing someone's handle is an occurrence that cannot be prevented
if one is determined to behave in such evil-spirited manner. Posting anon rules
out a certain lack of cybercourtesy and confusion. For it is known the handles
used in cybercommunication do indicate some kind of faith in one's identity as
given. Any abuse will set off a leap of faith.
Anon postings such as mine are free from abusing handles.

Posting anonymously (without even a self-assigned alias) seems akin to the behind-one's-back whispering/name calling that took place on the playground eons ago.
Isn't the point of creating a persona to set up certain parameters by which you'd like to be viewed...and sustaining them by staying 'in character'? So, I'll be judged either way...based on my Lady B alias, or my Clark Kent 'ol self.
Either way, people make judgements. I don't see how that can be avoided.

z: the Ted Baker solo section you were referring to - this is on the Plush Jazz-rock DVD right? I'll have to watch it again to check it out.
I remember the solo he did in Birmingham last year was very nice, and there were definitely a lot of bits and pieces from other Steely songs mixed in there with god knows what else (some classical stuff?).
I've heard the show from San Diego 2000, and his piano link up to Josie is superb. Bits from Bodhi and Janie Runaway, plus what to me sounds like a "Keith Jarret" section with big, slow, rich minor-ish chords.
I still laugh remembering Ricky Lawson's Phil Collins quote at the gig I saw during the band intros!
Looking forward to hearing everyone's stuff on the GB compilation. A big thanks to JW is definitely in order!
If I havn't posted here or emailed by start of next week to say my song is on the way, I hereby grant permission for anyone to track me down, poke me with soft cushions and force me to do note-for-note transcriptions of Celine Dion's entire recorded output.

Howard- Looks like big ears wins again, I guess there is
a D in that Am7 chord, making it an 11th since the 7th is in there, and then
making the following chord a Am13.
You're correct that it's a variation on the very succinct melody of GE. Ted
Baker also starts out his solo on an octave trill on the same G to F# idea,
which he then follows with some serious bebop phrases and modal sequences. Look
at the expression on Ricky Lawson's face during Baker's solo- he's obviously hit
Nirvana! I played that tape for some of my Band students who are starting to get
into jazz and they flipped!
I was disappointed with Ted's rubato "fantasy" section, joining Josie
to the previous song from 2 Against Nature ( Gaslighting Abbie?). There wasn't
any thematic material from other SD songs in it, as you had remarked there was
on some of their tour concerts. Did I miss them? I just heard a lot of
"Impressionistic" cliches and quartal chords, but it was a great build
up to that fantastic Hindemithian intro to Josie!

Bush backer gets windfall from crisis in California
By Jonathan D. Salant, Associated Press, 1/25/2001
ASHINGTON - One of the biggest beneficiaries of the California power crisis is a
Texas energy conglomerate that, more than any other company, has helped bankroll
President Bush's political career.
Enron Corp. of Houston is among several brokers and producers of electricity
that have reaped giant profits from California's power shortages and higher
natural gas prices nationwide.
The new president's rejection of price controls to cap soaring electricity costs
in the Golden State reflects the views of Enron, the largest wholesaler of
electricity and the largest owner of natural gas pipelines in North America.
The company and its employees have given more than anyone else to Bush's two
campaigns for governor, his unsuccessful House campaign in 1978, and last year's
race for the White House, according to the watchdog Center for Public Integrity.
Enron and its employees gave $113,800 to Bush's presidential campaign, his 10th
most generous contributor; $250,000 to the Republican National Convention host
committee; and $300,000 to the Presidential Inauguration Committee.
Enron's chief executive, Kenneth Lay, who raised more than $100,000 for Bush's
campaign, is a member of the president's energy transition team and attended his
economic summit.
''I clearly think Ken Lay and the Enron Corp. has President Bush's ear on energy
matters,'' said Craig McDonald, director of Texans for Public Justice, an
advocacy group critical of Bush. ''They had his ear when he was governor. It's
no surprise that Bush's policies mirror those of Enron.''
An Enron spokesman, Eric Thode, said Bush campaigned as ''a proponent of states'
rights and deregulation. He doesn't need anybody to suggest that to him.''
A White House spokeswoman, Claire Buchan, also denied that Enron had influenced
Bush's decision Tuesday to continue for only another two weeks Clinton
administration orders to the company and other power providers to continue
shipping electricity to California's near-bankrupt utilities.
''The president believes this is an issue that was created by this rather unique
legislation in California and that by providing the two weeks, it will enable
California to take the steps that it needs to begin to resolve this situation,''
she said.
Overall, Enron gave $2.3 million to federal candidates and the political parties
for the 2000 election, more than double its $1.1 million in 1998 and more than
any other energy company, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a
nonpartisan research group that studies campaign finance. Almost three-fourths
of the company's donations went to Republicans.
Energy and natural resources companies contributed $59 million to candidates and
parties in 2000, a 46 percent increase from 1998. Bush received $2.8 million in
donations from the industry, compared to $305,310 for his Democratic opponent,
Al Gore.
This story ran on page A4 of the Boston Globe on 1/25/2001.
What better way to create a
financial crisis and threat of recession than to cause the price of energy to go
up? The argument for tax cuts in lean years was to stimulate the economy. The
argument during the Clinton years was there was a surplus. With two "Oil
Men" in the White House, what better way to make all your big donors happy
than to jack up the price of oil (make 'em rich the first time) and then give
them a tax cut (that highest 1% again) at the same time.
If Whitewater was a "crime" then what is this?
I'm still available to investigate,

Thanks MC, z, Howard, LadyBayside, LP, TWMAl, Snakehips, and YGK-Malc--this place has offered a get-away from the horror of reality.
Thanks also, Dano, for being my rock. Check your e-box darlin'.
On a different note, JW, I can't believe you got my thingy already. I really hated parts of it. Now I'm going to pull a Howard here when I present this disclaimer: I wish the vocals were gone over a bit more for precision and intonation. And although it's an incredibly simple tune with tons of mood, I would have liked to put some other instruments and background harmony stuff on it. I still may some day, but what you hear is its original format, raw and uncut. Feel free to waste the improv if you need to.
And, I concur with YGK. Big thank-yous, JW for putting all of these tunes together for the GB. (I'm anxious to hear other peoples.) All this and he snow-surfs, too.

Howard- Looks like big ears wins again, I guess there is
a D in that Am7 chord, making it an 11th since the 7th is in there, and then
making the following chord a Am13.
You're correct that it's a variation on the very succinct melody of GE. Ted
Baker also starts out his solo on an octave trill on the same G to F# idea,
which he then follows with some serious bebop phrases and modal sequences. Look
at the expression on Ricky Lawson's face during Baker's solo- he's obviously hit
Nirvana! I played that tape for some of my Band students who are starting to get
into jazz and they flipped!
I was disappointed with Ted's rubato "fantasy" section, joining Josie
to the previous song from 2 Against Nature ( Gaslighting Abbie?). There wasn't
any thematic material from other SD songs in it, as you had remarked there was
on some of their tour concerts. Did I miss them? I just heard a lot of
"Impressionistic" cliches and quartal chords, but it was a great build
up to that fantastic Hindemithian intro to Josie!

Absolutely correct. From my perspective, those music induced flashbacks are oh-so-much better than pschedelic induced ones...no nasty feelings afterwards.
Went to a club that played retro music this weekend...70's and 80's (but alas, no Dan) and could not believe the feelings that washed over me. Completely transported, as you said.

daaaaaaaano - I just had this weird flashback thinking
about Scotland. There was this Scottish lad called Fish, he was the first singer
for Marillion, a band that emulated Genesis more or less. This guy had to be one
of the best lyricist in the history of rock music. Now, the last time I saw the
giant (he was quite big and tall a fella), I was zapping through the channels on
the tele a couple of years back and there he was, playing a role on an episode
of Touched by an Angel (no less). What happened to that poet since then? Do you
r anyone know who I'm talking about? Please, let me know.

Hello, one and all...
I trust most of you had a good weekend...sorry, Lisa Gee, to hear of the loss of your friend. Sorry, also, to those of you who are Giants fans.
As usual for me, not enough sleep and not quite enough weekend. (Sleep is overrated; however, weekends are not.) I did manage to acquire a copy of Aja on vinyl to replace mine which had been worn til all you could hear was Donald whispering through the tracks. Not that I don't have the cd, but I like nostalgia for certain purposes.
Other than that... barely watched the superbowl (this year, especially I preferred to commercials to the decimation on the field) and just recovered from my Saturday night.

Lisa G - very sorry to hear your news. A real tragedy for a guy obviously much loved.
z/Hutch - thanks for the tip off about the jay graydon site. Just looking at the first page of the Peg solo chart (which is from one of the guitar magazines I think - I remember seeing it before).
For me, the killer part of the solo is that long sliding/bending two-note phrase in bars 3 to 4. So hard to get the whole thing moving smoothly from note to note, especially because at one point you have to slide one note of the two-note harmony up 3 frets, while the other note slides up 4 frets! Or does he do some neat bend/slide combo here to push one string up an extra semitone?
In my usual tedious nit-picky way, there are a couple of things that don't seem right. That slide in bar 5 surely is one note too early?
I hear the high A picked, then a slide from D down to G. The chart has the slide going from the A to D.
About that G-F# thing on Walter's guitar part, just before the sax solo on Green
Earrings. It's a nice moment (and doesn't he do something very similar on Alive
in America?). It's kind of a variation on the song's main riff.
You have an A bass with a DGC triad, the triad moves down to C#F#B, then back to DGC. Walter's just reworking this semitone G-F# shift a little, and making the F# stand out for a bit longer. Nice!
Howard
P.S I hope to have my contribution for the new guestbook compilation on CD and making its way to JW this week. Looking forward to hearing the other tracks. My song is an old one, a bit on the poppy side, and every time I listen to it I think that I should completely redo the vocals ... ah well!

The "Any World That I'm Welcome To" Phenomenum: In a shining daydream, it recently occured to me how to achieve success in the National Football League. Change cities.

The "Countermoon" Phenomenum: The New York Giants segued unwincingly from one of the best performances in playoff history, directly into perhaps the worst performance in playoff history. (You're not my Kikki; my Kikki was the best.") It was like they were in some old cartoon. My theory is that the Ravens summoned one of those impotensifying moons of which Mr Fagen spoke; the countermoon mostly affected the Giants, since the Baltimore team isn't entirely human.
About the earthquake scene in India, I can't even muster a comment from my comfortable seat in life. It's perhaps the saddest and cruelest thing I've ever heard. I just wish some kind of peace and relief to those people.

I can only attribute my patient z's fascination with the
NY Giants as some kind of insidious dementia caused by his constant ingestion of
deludin for the last ten years.
I, myself, am excited by the more aesthetic aspects of life, such as that moment
in the Plush, Jazz-Rock version of "Green Earrings" where Jon
Herrington finishes his solo and Walter Becker plays a high voicing of an Am7
chord g-c-g, to start Cornelius Bumpis'tenor solo, then proceeds to take the top
voice down a half step (g-c-f#), while Cornelius plays some tasty low register
Joe Henderson-like lines.
The result is musically intense enough to base an entire jazz composition on,
which I think I shall do,once the deludin kicks in.
Another highlight is Herrington's solo on "Kid Charlemagne" which,
unlike Carlton's solo on the record, uses space more effectively. However, if
Carlton had had a rhythm section like the Plush Jazz-Rock and/or roll one, his
solo would have far surpassed Herrington's in every way.
Indeed, I was observing my patient z's Required Music classes as he played the
Plush, Jazz-Rock and/or roll video tape for the impoverished ghetto bumpkins of
a Queens inner-city high school, under the pretext of an Aim worded:
"Who Are the Artists Currently Nominated For a Grammy Award in the Category
of Best Album of the Year?"
And how many of you out there reading this can say that you get paid $40,000 a
year for playing Steely Dan recordings for bewildered inner-city children,
spreading the SD gospel at the cost of your job, should the Principal walk in
unannounced?
Royal Scam indeed.

Jim, another snipppet I can answer! This chimp in the Pepsi commmercial has EVERYTHING to do with Pepsi. In the early 70's when all the Soviet population was locked in the behavior studies lab, their caring government bought a licence from Pepsi and started prodicing some brown liquid, bottled, with Pepsi labels. The only other other choice a body had at that time was some local brands of lemonade, so while the West was agonizing over Coke/Pepsi choice, the Russians firmly chose Pepsi. The 70's generation is now occasionally referrred to as Generation "P", although they were still smiling in this ambiguous way they were taught in the 60's: like "everything may turn out not so bad after all...". They chose Pepsi and a mere 25 yrs. later things started happening: 10,000x inflation, bandits driving Cherokees with a huge wench on the front bumper (a sort of skyfflike effigy those dudes had on the nose of their longboats, a goodluck charm), 4-6 searchlights on top and babes in tow, not to mention Hawaiiian shirts. And more to come. Who knows what would have happened had they spurned Pepsi...

Lisa- Sorry to hear about that poor guy's death. Only
23...what a tragedy. People don't realize what musicians have to go through to
make a living at it. I was just talking to a trombone player friend of mine who
lost part of his ear in a car accident, and we were at a party for a drummer who
got into a serious accident from falling asleep behind the wheel coming back
from a gig all 3 of us were on. He woke up and found he was in mid-air, jumping
a road divider! I think both incidents made them go into semi-performing
retirement.
I was kidding when I made that comment about the Super Bowl being more important
than music (but that story was true), but I think some people take things a
little bit too serious at this GB. I think 75% of what I've posted here is
bullshit, just trying to provide a little strangeness and humor, like:
Imagined phone call sometime in the mid 1980s:
KJ- I'm still waiting for my royalty check for that tune I wrote!
DF- That tune YOU wrote?! We used a little bit of it for the intro, and now
you're saying you wrote the whole thing? Name me one part of the melody that
uses your tune.
KJ- Well, at least give me 1/3 of the royalties for the intro!
WB- Look man, talk to Gary, he handles all this crap.
GK- Go Giants!

Aja....That was indeed the EJ song I was talking about! I tend not to remember a lot of his song titles because there are so many instrumentals I tend not to have a verbal reference to link with the tune. I'm hoping he'll tour some more this summer to support the Alien Love Child CD. It's a smoking live set that I'd recommend if you don't already have it. Should be almost identical to the show you heard. It's good but I'm ready for another studio album from him.

Got some terrible news--the baby brother of one of my best friends was killed in a van accident on Friday morning outside of Dillon, SC. My friend was in that van and suffered minor injuries. The driver, fell asleep at the wheel. The group was going down to Florida to tour for a week. I can't believe it, still. The news at first reported it was my friend that was killed, then they corrected it and said it was his brother. One other guy died in the accident and several were injured, including a saxophonist who may lose the use of his arm. The guy who died was one of the best people in the world and a fantastic musician to boot. What a waste. I know all but 3 of the people on that trip. It's ironic, too. A buddy of my friend was supposed to be on that gig, but he got another gig and didn't go. And it was his turn to drive. About 7 years ago, my husband was playing with them...

And Floridavid, I've analysed this "poem" and
it's not a poem, it's some flake goofing off on on lyrics from this band called

I would venture a wild guess and say your name fitted there for two obvious

When it comes down to the bottom line, I'm afraid the
Super Bowl will always win out over music every time.
As proof, I shall relate a story that happened a number of years ago, when Chet
Baker mysteriously died from a fall off of his hotel.
A bunch of us were having a session with a cat who just came back from playing
with Chet in The Netherlands (or wherever that took place)and it was a day
before the Super Bowl.
We took a break for some er, inspiration, and we asked this dude, "Why the
fuck do you want to come back to the US of A when you were able to play jazz for
a living (he'd been over there for about 5 years)without any of the hassles
we're facing in Amerika?"
He looked at us and matter-of-factly said "I missed the Super Bowl,
man."
We had a hard time understanding what he meant, and some of us started yelling
at him and telling him he was crazy, but I was taking part in a scientific study
at Columbia U. where they sought to addict me to a triazolobenzodiazepine and
then withdraw me from it using clonidine, a hypertensive drug used here to
inhibit activity in the locus ceruleus, so I figured, the dude must be right.
So I repeat, Go Giants!

Hutch- I spent years trying to find a copy of the
"Peg" solo by Graydon and had no luck until I went to Graydon's
website and found it posted there. I don't have the web address on me, but just
enter his name in a search.
He tells the story of recording it there and says that they went thru 7 studio
players (Dennis Budimir among others!)before they decided on his solo, and even
then, had to coach him on the final version! It's posted in 2 parts- some nice
Hendrix-type lydian stuff in there with numerous hammer-ons, pull-oofs and
double-stop bends.
Lisa G.- I was wondering when the PM police were gonna pull me over- I was
tarred and feathered on another website for putting down his obnoxious solo on
"ATTYA" on Q&A!
I'm not putting him down, I'm just saying that I've never heard a satisfying
straight-ahead jazz solo from him, as compared with current players such as
Peter Bernstein, Dave Stryker and Jimmy Bruno to name a few.
I've listened to a lot of his stuff and enjoyed it, but his straight-ahead stuff
leaves me cold.
I just did a nerve-wracking gig of 4 sets of solo jazz guitar for a friend's
40th birthday party last nite with half the guests being pro musicians and music
teachers. Except for a few blank-outs it went alright, but I think I'm gonna
have a deludin OD on Super Bowl Sunday!
Stevie Dan- I'm not denying that DB hasn't had features on many great jazz
musicians (one record that I played on was even reviewed there!), but most of
the time they feature musicians who are more concerned with innovation than
quality.
Nowadays there are more competitors on the news stand so I very rarely read it
anymore.

*** Matt Dillon to direct James Caan
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - James
Caan will star in Matt Dillon's
directorial debut, "Beneath The Banyan Trees," United Artists and
Mainline Productions have announced. The film also will star Dillon
and Natascha McElhone. Based on a script written by Dillon and Barry
Gifford, the movie tells the story of Jimmy (Dillon), who is waiting
for the heat to cool after a failed insurance scam. After he hears
rumors that his partner has surfaced in Cambodia, he sets off to get
his promised cut, where he finds a mysterious and hostile
environment. "Beneath The Banyan Trees" is scheduled to begin
shooting in Cambodia this month. In addition to five weeks there, the
film will shoot three weeks in Thailand.

Rickie Lee Jones & band was just great. Her voice was crystal clear, the high notes spined shivers and she is the boss, running whatever goes on on stage. Sal Bernardi was there, would like to hear more for he tickles that guitar of his just fine!!
She left and came back to do ShowBizzKids, lots of talk about Steely Dan btw, pretty sure 90% of the present crowd was in Rotterdam, oh well, wishful thinking LOL
She played for 2 hours.
I left for drinks with the two american women and then returned to Paradiso to join a friend who's a techno DJ. The other friend went home but I had to kick whatever and stayed at this high techno dance party. Rickie Lee Jones, I needed the beats and monotony in rhythm to trance me through the motions LOL
Now at my friend's CD store. So off again, just popped in for a quick see ya later alligators?
btw, I bought the remastered Aja CD (it IS better than the vinyl version with the crack in Home at Last) and even detected some sample worthy chords, the end of Aja, haha. How about some Dan in the lounging circuits??

Used tacks, pliars and stun-gun

Yes, Clas, Hutch, Knopfler's solo is barely audible and frankly, it's not very
interesting so, no wonder. You clearly hear the knopflerausus's style in that
little section that leads to the Tide commercial.
Tough Luck, Jenny. Hutch is here for a few days, then leaves for months. It is

Hi.
Hutch - did you read "Reelin in the years", Brian Sweet? That's a funny story about when the guys flew over Knopfler from England, just to have him playing a solo on "Time out of Mind".
Knopfler is sitting on the hotel room, desperately trying to figure out the chords on the part of the song they'd told him to play on. All he had was a cassette (no charts!). He had finally figured it out , after hours, nervous as hell, when Becker comes to the hotel saying:
-Oh no, that's not the part you're gonna play on.
Later Knopfler said, when asked:
-Playing with Steely Dan was like trying to swim with lead-shoes.
And he's almost gone in the mix.
Stevie Dan - thanks, Jim Gordon it is. He used to tour with Jackson too I think.
When Steely Dan stole Keith Jarrets music for having it as an intro in "Gaucho", people here said that they didn't steal Jarrets tune, it was a TRIBUTE to mr Jarret.
When a band plays Steely Dan songs it's not a cover-band, it's a TRIBUTE band.

Regarding all this discussion of Tide etc. The last four notes of the Doors "Touch Me" are the same (and you can almost hear them say) from the old Tide Commercial jingle; "Stronger Than Dirt". Try listening to it from now on without hearing it.
Dan related moment. Watched the VH-1 "original" movie tonight which was four 30 minute Tales of the Darkside like vignettes. In the last of the four episodes about an Alanis Morrisette type singer, during a montage' of the supposed Billboard charts she was topping, the visable top three in order on the chart after the character were, Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls and STEELY DAN. Considering the gist of the (horribly overacted role by Judd Nelson) episode was artist burnout, I hope this wasn't a shot at our boys. There was a verbal shot at the Behind the Music series as well so I guess they were just having fun.
Well back to lurkdom. Hi all and have fun stormin' the castle in NYC. Wish I was going...

Joe - The most we know at this point is that Donald Fagen
said "see you next year" at a few of the shows this past summer.
So we're all hoping for another tour and, of course, another new album. By the
way, they were in London the first part of September 2000. Shame you missed the
show. But really, your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not they'll do
it again.
I've been wondering what the timing of all this might turn out to be. Certainly
if they win a grammy for 2vN they will probably want to tour again to further
support the album. After all, they only did about three tunes from the new album
at the shows. Maybe if they do go out again they'll do more from 2vN and some
new songs that might be on the next one. And maybe they'll even throw in some
old tunes we haven't heard them do live yet. But if they do that then where's
the time for working on the next album? I suspect the boys are doing a little
writing right about now.
Jennywenny - I'm male. Do you think the little instrumental interlude in the middle of Time Out of Mind sounds suspiciously like an old Tide laundry detergent commercial? Cause if you do... then I'll marry you! 'kay?
Roy & Midnite -
Glad to hear that the Virginia Gentlemen are back on their feet again.

Hi DS(tm)! Missed you, girl!
stevie-It HAS been a while since I've listened to We Live Here. I will give it another listen. Maybe I've mellowed in my old age. I just couldn't believe that PM would use that sell-out hiphop groove so damn much! That was pretty hard to get past back then. I caught that tour and frankly the highlight of the concert was "How Insensitive" which, I understand, he plays at EVERY performance he does. WLH made so little impact on me that I never listened to the album again. I will give it another listen and get back to you. But I believe First Circle and Still Life Talking are superior efforts, and possibly some of his best work. And z, x should listen to the original PM group with Mark Egan and Danny Gottlieb-- the "white album" or maybe American Garage. Those two are great places to start enjoying Pat.

Two stories against nature:
Interesting story this guy, John, who made my recording told me the other night.
He was working a gig at some club
somewhere outside of Hackensack back in early 1970's as the keyboard player in
one of two bands that were on that night.
In walks this nerdy looking guy, the keyboardist from the other band, to warm up
on the piano. He plays runs up and down the keys like a
mo'fo'--"unbelievable chops" says John, who is quite a pianist
himself.
Afterwards, the nerdy guy looks up at him and says, "I HATE this!"
obviously in reference to playing out. Then he smiles and says, "Luckily
for me, I won't have to play crappy jobs like this anymore."
John says, "Oh yeah? Why?"
Nerdy keyboardist says, "I just cut an album and it's gonna be BIG. Watch
out for a tune called, 'Reelin' in the Years.'"
"Yeah, ok, whatever you say," said John.
The other story is from my
husband. Ever since I've known my husband he's been telling me about this
trumpet guy, Tony, who he's known for years and lost contact with.
"Yeah, Tony toured with Blood, Sweat and Tears when he was 17. He plays
with everybody who's anybody. You know we went to NYState Music Camp together
for years?"
"No really, honey, I've never heard of him."
Then the other night, somebody on the GB wanted to know who was filling in for
Leonhart on trumpet last summer.
Guess who? Tony Kadleck. When my man saw that post, he said, "That's him!
That's him! I told you he plays with everybody who's anybody!"
Well there it is folks. Two degrees of separation. Funny, I don't feel so
special.

Dear Jennyanydots, welcome, and I don't mean to sound so harsh about this, but the name Jennywenny drives me out of fucking mind. Maybe you could be our Juniper or Jender or Jen of Arc. We all know who you are by now, just pick a name and announce it. The Jennywenny just sounds like a child molester's wet dream to me. I'm sorry if this reflects poorly on me, i mean, you can be whatever in life and guestbook that makes you happy, and i will be there to defend you, as I am 88% slutty defender of the Realm. I even protected Clas for a while, until his insecurities kicked in and i lost control of my ship. That was a nightmare for all of us who lived through it, who weren't burnt into off-the-guestbookness. Slutradamus (tm) feels that our best GBers get sick of it, and look for greener pastures.
Me, I write because the Cult Commune Trailer Park is flooded, and we are now a sea faring family. Somebody left the tap on again. so Yo ho ho and a bottle of Coke and Rum, welcome everybody, and be blessed, all of you's, as we settle down to a quiet weekend.
Yah, when the flood came i grabbed my nearest and dearest modem, naturally. The jailbait had to fend for themselves on a raft made of the same three coconut props used on Gilligan's Island. Any way, where did MaryAnne get those coconut cream pie tins with? You'd sooner use a Frisbee on a boat like that than a pie tin.
Which reminds me--as plankmaster I need a good threat to get them down the plank and off our blessed ship. How does "Let's Play Frisbee," sound? Everybody loves Frisbee. Especially glow in the dark ones. Except for the one that ricochets off your head forcibly, carrying you from Orchesta to ambulance in less than sixteen counts of Bodhisaatva. "It's always funny till someone gets hurt" ---overheard, Parrothead Parking Lot...
Be free everyone, and sorry for dissing you Jen! Have a good weekend, all and

ps. minimalism turns a slut on. Way to go, " ` " You rock.
pps: i remember ads from the 70's
for both New and Still improving Tide and, the Ty-dee Bowl Man. What was up with
that whole CONCEPT? I remember my brother dressing up one Halloween as the
Ty-dee Bowl Man. Come to think of it, there's a product called Tidy Cat Three,
too---that sounds like a killer Jazz combo
that would play "mushroom jazz".
What I always wonder about new and
improved products is, why the hell didn't they get it right the first time?
Have I been using their product for years, and now they are tellin me it's a
shitty product? What If I liked the old tide that gave off noxious fumes? When
are they going to stop improving? Why is clear better? i don't think a clear
brownie would be better than a hash brownie...at what point will products stop
improving and take on the "Classic" mode? When will i be able to buy
"CLASSIC" tide, the old and shitty one from the 70's? What about the
poor kids who had to use comet because there was no toothpaste? Wait. I'm
confusing the issues. Time to go work for Dubya.

stevie baby-the reason I have more comments on Eric Johnson over Derek Trucks is that EJ blew him away. Not a criticism of Derek, he was phenomenal and when he was done I really wondered if Eric Johnson wasn't going to be one-upped. Not to worry, though, EJ came out and calmly demonstrated why he is the best guitarist around. He is also the most personable guy to reach that pinnacle and it was clear he was up there not to show off his abilities but to play great music for us. And (ahem) I think his best album is "Ah Via Musicom", but my favorite song is Manhattan, off "Venus Isle".

My, quite the welcome...thanks LP.
And now, in the order in which they were posed, the answers to your questions.
1. I don't believe in prescription
drugs. Is that a requirement for posting?
2. Hmm, actually purchase stuff instead of just hanging around? Good idea, but
harder on the bank account.
3. Depends on whether I'm pretending to get work done.
4. I'll show you mine if....
5. Is that a question you would expect a Lady to answer?
6. Too many to count, sometimes all in one day
7. See #4.
8. Three this past tour, one at Roseland years ago. Would have been four, but
they cancelled one on me.
9. Only one. after a while, it gets too confusing trying to remember who you are
(my experience only, YMMV)
10.one less than Mark Knopfler has named after him.

Hello, one and all. I've been reading for a bit, and trying to figure out when to come out of the proverbial woodwork. Now's as good a time as any, I guess. Work is...well, work.
I am getting quite excited for the upcoming festivities..especially since I won't have very far to travel at all...right here in my own oh-so-urban backyard.
I should really get back to doing what it is they pay me for...as opposed to shamefully exploiting company resources for my own amusement.
But this is way more fun!

At the risk of preaching to the choir .... a few words on the theraputic value of music. Every year... without fail I endure my Jan depression, why, one year it went on for literally months(talk about one day past no tomorrow) Jan 17 it started... no energy... i'll take a mental health day.... and so started that slow yet unstoppable slide into darkness.By Jan 23 people are concerned... I'm not at work, I'm blowing off students and missing rehearsals.Enter John,my favorite guitar player friend and musical soulmate. C'mon we're going to jam,says he, oh no,say I, nonsense, says he, so off I go moaning and groaning about no music in me and the rest of that assorted crap that goes with that mind set. After a few hours of funk grooves, shuffles, slow minor blues the colour slowly seeped back into my world.I slept the sleep of contentment that night. Last night we repeated the treatment and I'm pleased to say i'm back at work... slacking off and posting messages such as this ... Prozac Smozac ... just let me get in the pocket and all is well

So, how's everyone on this glorious morning? Me? Too fine! Had a little too much of the Grand Marnier last night, though. The words were begining to run together while reading (Angela's Ashes. Great Book!), so that was my cue to give it a rest.
I've been wondering, being so new to the board and all, if it might be worth my while to try and make this NY thing happen in March. Not that my newbieism (is that a word?) should keep me from experiencing the once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a part of Rock-n-Roll history, but my query is this, not knowing any of you too well, who would I hang with? If I am able to string this thing together vacation-time-wise, I'd be heading up by myself. See, I have no significant other *cue violins*, and I don't have any friends here that are enlightened enough to plan an entire vacation around SD. I know, I know, how could that be?? Anyway, just wondering if this is an exclusive blow out you all have planned, or would a new comer be welcome? I think I amy already know the answer to that question, but before I attempt to make the preparations, thought I should probably check. 'K, enough of that...

Each functions as an individuality, endowed with certain
powers and capacities for self-expression, pursuing his ends for his/her own
interest, spontaneously putting forth his/her energies without being clearly
aware of or concerned with any universal result which his/her essentially
universal nature must bring about. In realizing his/her individuality he/she
goes out of himself/herself in one sense, in another sense he/she does not. By
expressing himself/herself he/she carries out some "end" in which
he/she has an "interest"; he/she "does" something: he/she
does a deed or a "work", which qua mere action is nothing more than a
mode of purposed self-expression, and is not, as such, either good or bad (at
this stage). [...]
Yep. When self-conscious individuals are regarded as merely
"together", as coexisting without consciously controlling common
purposes, they resemble a community or herd of animals.

fezo~ You live in the hills, so your more tempered to ape-neutering levels of coldness than us pampered shore dwellers.
Tonight on Fox Channel's
"Parallel Universe": Becker and Fagen meet in college but don't like
each other.
Fagen graduates from Bard and becomes a staple on the New York cocktail singer
scene, eventually putting Michael Franks out of a job.
He release "The Nightfly" in 1975 and it's panned as 'nostalgia before
its time'.
He dates Diana Krall when she's 19. He teaches her who the queen of soul is.
Then he teaches her how to sing fast; they form a duet and eventually retire to
the big hotels in Miami.
Becker moves to a warm climate and teams up with Darryl Hall (Oates descends
into alcoholism.).
He later meets vocalist John Townsend, forms the Becker/Townsend Band, and has a
huge hit with "The Smoke of a Distant Fire In the Hole".
Then he forms a successful collaboration with Sly Stone and they both disappear
for twenty years.

but still burn's jazz. monk & bird have kept me away, only to make that looonng scroll down to my last (mon 00:39:58) and discover that the most clever part of my post (the end) has been subject to the chop job and suspiciously "edited" to st. al's cutting room floor. before z returns, i need to provide at least a rough paraphrased reconstruction:
in regards to z's drive-by of downbeat magazine, i went on to point out the top reviews in the latest issue like enten eller/tim berne, quincy jones/sammy nestico, maria schneider, frank london's klezmer brass all-stars, brad mehldau, joey baron. the presence of these rolling stone tabloid pop culture millionaires does reek of sell-out doesn't it ? my bad there, z. the article on andrew hill should have been a dead giveaway.
and that's all pretty benign, but here's the part that got me WONDERIN' !!!
in the next part i raised the query as to whether anyone remembered when the band chicago was fiercely political. now lars must have seen that part of my post because he posted the lyrics to "state of the union" from the wonderful fifth album, which was a perfect selection to illustrate the point. my ULTIMATE point being that i predict music will now become more directly political, as during that era.
now the deletion of those comments, being considerably more dangerous, has got me thinkin' that possibly mr. st. al is working for "THE MAN" !!!!
despite CRYING OUT to be edited in the past, he has never stricken one single punctuation mark. mmmmmm...
lisa... gee... how could anyone who loves pat HATE (?!?!) "we live here" ? i own everything he's put out and a few he hasn't and it's one of my FAVORITES. yeah, it's accessible. so is MOST of pat's output. i think the weather channel uses the most accessible part of the most accessible tune. a good choice on their part. "to the end of the world" is one of the most profound compositions the pmb has ever created. i'm convinced that you CAN'T have listened to it carefully.
clas, the answers are ivan lins and jim gordon.
fezo... duane ! a friend collects artifacts and effects of that gentleman and is writing a book on him, tentatively titled "slidin' down south: the search for duane allman". it's gonna' be cool.
speaking of duane... aja ? derek trucks ? all i'm hearin' about is eric johnson and he's great when he's not obsessing... duracell ? eveready ? adaptor ? where the battery was purchased ? was it on sale ? no, really though. i think he's sounding better than ever. great show comments. mc, what do you think is his best record ?
jenny ? ben folds five ? the alternative bacharach ? girl, take a jog through the archives and you'll see the name a few times. he's from my neck of the woods (nearby chapel hill, nc) and is really great, outside of needing to ween himself from the irrepressible desire to utter "you bitch" in every other tune. another welcome to you you positive human life force you.

yes, aussie - i've been following that story on Carousel from here - typical for Pyramid Corporation - i dated one of the kids in that family in high school, real numnut - but anyway, great urban planning to turn your back on the existing downtown business district screaming for help to create an indoor one as a convenient way to clean up a nasty brownfield under the auspice of economic development for the goal of commercial-tourism, isn't it? yeah that's a great project, they don't want to pay taxes either for about a decade because of all the money they'll bring in - yeah, for their rents, duh.....but the city councilors will go for it, you watch - now you know why i don't practice my trade there
i need another primal scream, this mail merge is not working right, where is my secretary, it's 10:30 PM dammit!

Hi there so far the feeback has been good so I am
adding a new feature. This weeks showcase song is
called Motor of Love by Paul McCartney. This track
features Greg Hawkes on keyboards. Apparently Paul was
impressed with Gregs keyboard work on Drive. Motor of
Love is in relatively heavy rotation so take a listen
you might hear it.

Luckless Pedestrian: Tonight, at the Marriot Marquis in Times Square: Syracuse University College of Law and the New York State Bar Association sponsored an evening with SU law alumni. Decided to go just to see whot's uh, the deal... did some good networking with T&E types, then overheard something bizarre yet amusing: The Carousel Mall is in competition to become the largest mall in America, bigger than the one in Fargo land. Hmmmm. Scary, yet entertaining. Something about it causing a huge ruckus with the nearby denizens etc. Total cluster fuck. Anyway, it got me thinking about how much I actually miss Syracuse. I gotta get my butt up there. Gorgeous country. And yes, I'd love to play a match of cut-throat Monopoly with you. Although my all-time favourite is Backgammon. See you in NYC soon kiddo.

Or else just grooving high, relaxing with a couple of gringos
Suddenly that beast just bit you
It's a bat in flight that just can't quit you
Clas had to come on, man
And take a stab at Fogel's cover band
We will spend a busy weekend all
booked in advance
Me and you, my witness too
Might get a glimpse of what makes that teacher dance

Bring your buzz along and you can add to the sheer confusion

The Steely Damned is a labor of love for all the musicians involved. The Steely Damned is comprised of the best musicians in town; they are all in bands of their own here in San Diego and yes, they write originals with those bands. About once a month or so they all get together and play together as The Steely Damned. And they do Steely Dan music better than anyone else but Steely Dan and are happy to share it with the danfans.

Okay, now everyone knows that The Steely Damned is playing NYC. It's been killing me not to say anything! If you haven't seen these guys, they are AWESOME, and hearing the Second Arrangement live is worth $20 in itself-it's a great dance tune. lovebob takes requests, so here's your chance to hear your favorite Dan songs that didn't get played on last year's tour. And there isn't a Dan tribute band around that has a guitarist better than Hank Easton-this guy has got to be seen to be believed.
Midnite-EJ didn't do any acoustic stuff, the emphasis was on R&B tunes. I thought I read that he has a new CD and is hoping to release it this year. Yeah, I was just blown away at how he replicated his sound onstage perfectly, note for note. I've never heard a musician do that in that way. What an amazing tone he has.
Oh, did I mention that The Steely Damned are awesome?

Honestly Blaise, "my tongue...", I don't understand what you're saying.
Third World Man - thanks, great, I saw an interview years ago, with some Trainspotting-actor and he used the word "radge" frequently. Cool
"Other interesting terms, such as 'fud'; pussy, 'skitters'; diarroeah, 'bampot'; see radge, or 'weedgie'; native of Glasgow, Glaswegian, are used in daily parlance on these sophisticated shores."
I'll save that.

So, I'm like over at the Ramones site and get this.....
there are dozens of posts from Chips moaning about the lack of intelligence and
how he's going back to the Steely Dan room!
Of course, he has yet to say anything even remotely intelligent in either place.
Wow. That was so great. I feel powerful and victorious and I think I have to dance now...

A- Because she can't stand to see him having such a good time.
When these bogus personnae start nipping at your heals from behind like spineless little pups, just remember that it is an amusing aspect of the GB. See how they feed off themselves? It's like they're sucking each other's dicks. Feels good, don't it boys?
Why, see here! One of our favorite annonymous attackers has resurfaced- time to get your rocks off, eh mate? Spice the place up. It's so entertaining. Cocksucker!
A prediction: They will scoff, they will be glib, they will not break character and back off! But, the next time they look in the mirror... will it be unsettlingly different? Look carefully. What you see is what you get. Cocksucker. MWAH!
Wow. I really feel wonderful. See
how easy it is?
I'm going to sing now:

What's that you say ? get over it... many of us won't be there! Ah, but here's the rub, I just ended a relationship , she was a lovely lady, but ,things were going nowhere real fast and I was starting to get that "one day past no tomorrow" feeling about the whole thing. Long story short... it's over. Unfortunately, Cathy had won an all expense paid trip to New York for two, and guess who was the chosen travel mate! Me! Want to guess the dates ? .... Mar 17 to Mar 27 Well needless to say I'm no longer the chosen one. A trip to the jazz Mecca of the world and a weeks worth of Steely Dan stuff and I won't be there .... ahhh fate can be cruel

SCIENCE & MEDICINE Mining Madagascar for M. knopfleri: New, curved-tooth dinosaur sheds light on late Cretaceous Era
Paleonotlogist Scott Sampson shows artist's conception of Masiakasaurus
knopfleri at a news conference at the Utah Museum of Natural History. The
dinosaur, named for Dire Straits singer Mark Knopfler, was discovered by
Sampson's team. (Ryan Galbraith/The Salt Lake Tribune)
BY GREG LAVINE
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
Digging through Madagascar's stony
terrain to the tunes of rock group Dire Straits, Utah researchers unearthed the
remains of an unknown dinosaur species with a nasty bite.
Masiakasaurus knopfleri, named as a tribute to Dire Straits' lead singer Mark
Knopfler, was a 6-foot-long carnivore, tooth to tail, with teeth that jutted
straight forward from its lower jaw. These hook-like teeth set the dinosaur --
which weighed about as much as a German shepherd -- apart from its meat-eating
relatives.
University of Utah paleontologist Scott Sampson realized his crew had dug up a
new species from the moment he saw the 3-inch-long jaw piece in 1994.
"We were just awestruck in some respects," Sampson said. "We
didn't even know what group it belonged to."
The front teeth could have skewered small mammals, snakes or lizards living on
Madagascar, an island southeast of Africa, Sampson said. This is the first type
of dinosaur discovered to be equipped with these protruding teeth.
Sampson, along with colleagues from the State University of New York at Stony
Brook, authored a study naming the new dinosaur in today's edition of the
journal Nature.
Sampson said paleontology researchers are only scratching the surface of all
there is to learn about dinosaurs. If this type of dinosaur eluded
paleontologists for decades, other equally bizarre creatures are likely waiting
to be found.
Sankar Chatterjee, a geology professor at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, said
this stands as another major find to come from Madagascar. He said researchers
such as Sampson are finally turning the searchlight onto this area.
"Madagascar had been neglected over the last 100 years," Chatterjee
said.
M. knopfleri translates into "Vicious Lizard of Knopfler." The Nature
article reveals little about how these new fossils came to bear the singer's
name.
Knopfler has not embarked on a second career as a fossil hunter. And he doesn't
exactly resemble an artist's conception of the dinosaur that lived 70 million
years ago.
Dire Straits' head crooner played more of a supporting role.
Sampson said dig workers often endured 100-degree days while searching through
the stony soil with dental picks and other tools. Crew members lived in tents
and had no access to showers or any other modern amenities.
Music filled the quarries to keep morale high. Songs from Dire Straits
frequently blared across the hills of the northwestern Madagascar dig site.
Wherever Knopfler's lyrics were heard, crew member seemed to have more luck
finding pieces of the new dinosaur. The "Brothers in Arms" album was a
crew favorite, Sampson said.
"It became a running joke in camp," he said. "If we wanted to
find more of the animal, we played Dire Straits, and it worked."
On unfruitful days in the field, a team member would ask whether the requisite
Dire Straits tunes were played.
"Paleontology involves a lot of serendipity, a lot of luck," Sampson
said.
Music has influenced other fossil hunters as well. Researchers in 1973 named an
important early African hominid fossil Lucy, since the Beatles song "Lucy
in the Sky with Diamonds" was being played that day.
Stony Brook researcher Matthew Carrano, one of the paper's authors, said Dire
Straits will be in the mix for the crew's future visit to Madagascar. Catherine
Forster, an assistant professor of anatomical science at Stony Brook, was
another author of the study.
"You take your inspiration where you can get it," said Carrano, a
post-doctoral student in anatomical sciences.
The music helped guide them to parts of six different individuals: back bones,
leg bones, arm bones and teeth. Sampson's group pieced together about 40 percent
of an M. knopfleri skeleton from the jumble of pieces.
"I'm really delighted," Knopfler, 51, said of the paleontological
honor. "The fact that it's a dinosaur is certainly apt, but I'm happy to
report that I'm not in the least bit vicious."
M. knopfleri's temperament was another story.
Sampson used the back teeth and jaw to link the new creature to other theropods,
a group of predators that walked on their hind legs. Those serrated back
chompers were ideal for tearing meat off hapless victims.
Another theropod, Majungatholus, sits among the fossils scattered about
Sampson's Utah Museum of Natural History office. A nearly complete skull from a
30-foot-long Majungatholus stares at the paleontologist's desk from its spot on
a nearby table. The skull's jaw bone dwarfs M. knopfleri's corresponding bone.
Several explanations could account for the curved front teeth of M. knopfleri.
Colleagues at a conference where Sampson showed the jaw speculated that the
hook-like teeth could have snared fish.
Chatterjee said he supports the fish-catching hypothesis, since other
fish-eating dinosaurs have been discovered in Europe.
The front teeth from the late Cretaceous Era dinosaur resemble those found on
the modern-day tree shrew, a small insect-eating mammal. It might be a stretch,
but this could represent evidence that M. knopfleri snacked on insects. No
insectivore dinosaurs have been discovered yet.
Carrano suggested that the tiny dinosaur could have enjoyed a varied diet that
included meat and insects. He ventured that the teeth could have been used to
pluck fruit from trees.
Finding small dinosaurs can be a challenge, since their tiny bones may not
survive long enough to become fossils, he explained. When those bones do become
exposed centuries later, it is often a matter of luck if someone is around to
spot them.
"It's a lottery who gets to be a fossil and it's another lottery who gets
to be found," Carrano said.
There is the chance that paleontologists have found other dinosaurs with
protruding teeth, he said. Earlier leg and back bones found in other locations
match up well with M. knopfleri, though no skull parts were uncovered near those
specimens.
While many questions linger about M. knopfleri, the fossilized bones could hold
the key to unlocking other mysteries. Similar dinosaurs to M. knopfleri were
stomping around in Argentina and Madagascar at the same time.
Sampson said this information could alter how late scientists believe that South
America and the African island were linked together in an ancient
supercontinent. This evidence supports an emerging geological theory that claims
Antarctica connected to South America and Africa as late as 80 million years
ago.

Luckelsss Pedestrian and others who have forgotten their ListBot password;
The Short Answer: Email me your address and I can set you up.
Long Answer:
You probably have tried this, but there is a place when you go to enter your
ListBot password where if you have forgotten the password, you can enter in your
email address and they will send it to you. The email address must match what
you orginally gave ListBot (i.e. the email address where you get other
List-Bots' messages). I have a habit of accidently typing "hopps"
instead of "hoops". If you don't know the address you first signed up
for, let me know another ListBot you belong to, and I can probably track it
down.
IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, email me a request at hoops@dandom.com and I will "invite you", as ListBot says. With an invite, it's a lot easier to sign up although you miss out on a couple of really minor features.
Finally, there is also a way to just email a "subscribe" command which I need to look up.
I'm sure Pat had no idea that List Bot would become such a prevalent and useful thing in dandom when he created the enGORGEment ListBot! Thanks Pat!

Lester - Trouble with Sign In Stranger for guitar is that it's hard to get guitar shapes that work. The piano is so central to the song, and you just can't get all the funky notes from the piano chords on the guitar.
My next update (now well overdue) will be Babylon Sisters, hopefully sometime before the next Steely Dan album comes out ...
Lisa G - the award thing was for
my intro to chord theory. The folk at "Study Web" seemed to like it,
so they gave it an award.
Kind of nice, but it doesn't mean as much as getting emails from folk who say
reading the guide has helped them out.
Re: guestbook compilation. Thanks to a few encouraging words on the guestbook, I've been trying to get my act together and submit something for the compilation. The website still says the submission deadline is 15th December, but I heard that that was extended until sometime in January at least?
I've transferred an old song from tape to PC and cleaned it up a little. It's pretty much ready to be burned to CD and submitted, but I wanted to check when the new deadline is. Do I still have time to make it?
I was a little hesitant to submit ... the song is OK in a poppy kind of way, but I'm always critical when listening back. I could do with re-recording my vocals for instance!
Any info re: deadline much appreciated.

Aja....thanks for the review! Alas, EJ will not be making any east coast dates in the foreseeable future. He's playing the Mid-West, the Rockies and the North West in February and then off to play Japan during May but those are the only dates listed so far. The Austin City Limits show that was taped in November is set to air beginning February 3rd and the set list should be very close to what you got to hear the other night. Hopefully they'll have Derek Trucks on the same show but I don't know for sure. You're so right about EJ capturing his recorded sound live! The several times I've seen him, he uses the same set up he records with. At the time, he had the two Fenders ran in stereo for his clean sound, a Dumble for his medium overdrive/rhythm sound and the twin Marshalls for the lead sounds. His technique is flawless and he really can reproduce those studio sounds to a tee playing live. Did he play any acoustic numbers? He's done a few things on acoustic that were hauntingly beautiful over the years. He even played piano on one song and I was floored at how complex, yet musical his playing was. He truly is the consumate musician. I'm glad to got to hear him live, along with Derek. What a treat that must have been! I'm looking forward to the next time I can see either or both of these extraordinary musicians play again.
Wish I could make the NYC festivities in March but I'll probably be relegated to watching the show on VH1 like most of the rest of the good folks here. For those of you fortunate enough to attend, we want all the gory details!
Aussie, hope you can figure out how to give us a "live" update from the actual RRHOF ceremonies. Just don't do anything that would get you booted. That's way too hard a ticket to come by to risk anything foolish!

Always wanted to check out le Bar Bat. I may be just the

Thursday Night is the night the band (most probably Walter) could most likely
show up. On the other hand, being the average fan have heard a whole lot of good
things by now about the Steely Damned. I figure lovebob's gonna make a killing
that weekend, not that there's anything wrong with that. This is the land of
opportunity, when all is said and done.
the average dan fan took proper notice and will do everything in his/her power
to make it to at least one of those two promising nights. the average dan fan
would like to thank Pete Fogel, Hoops, Bob Tedde, ygk for their efforts in
putting all this together so swiftly. Impressive job.
As far as Andy Metzger is concerned, the average dan fan wants to know his

NMN: Yes, the "bunt" heard 'round the world. Just goes to show ya - two guys with good, but not stellar, careers meet for one brief moment in the fold of space-time. The wrong turn, the right twist. 0.003 sec difference and so's history and careers. Ralph Branca had a serviceable 88-68 record lifetime with a 3.79 ERA, while Bobby Thompson was a lifetime .270 hitter with 264 homeruns. Chaos on Ebbets field explodes in a quantum fractal. That's the unpredictability of sport. Who's up to the challenge and who has the guts to roll their gold teeth. One wrong note in music won't kill your career like Branca's (unless you were a sideman on a Dan album...NEEEEEEEXXXXXT!). Edge to Brian Billick who once displayed a blow-dry look on The Match Game.
jennywenny: BFF gets overlooked and underappreciated sometimes because of their paradox. Pleasant, yet daring, delicate, trashy, smooth, chaotic, precise, sloppy - and sometimes within the same song! Homage to the most innovative and beautiful music of 20th Century American stuffed into on NYC efficiency apt. Ragtime, Gershwin, blues, jazz, R&B, polka, Bacharach - it's all here - musical history in your face. Philosphy, Where's Summer B, the hilarious Julianne and Uncle Walter, Underground would be enough, but the eponymous debut ends with 3 beautiful tunes: Video, the Last Polka, and Boxing. I guess it could be said that the total is greater than the individual songs, but frankly could the first album be more fun? Having said that Boxing is one of the finest compositions I've heard - a real classic. I enjoy Whatever...especially Fair, Selfless, Cold, and Composed, and Battle of Who Could Care Less, but there's a couple of clunkers. Reinhold Meissner is interesting pop craft. The bassist (Robert Sledge I think) does a cool John Entwhistle mutation (emulating lead guitar with a bass). There's some big BFF fans lurking around...

Hey all,
I forgot the cup adress before I
could take it...but last night I dreamt I was at "Mavericks". This is
the best kept secret of surfing,the biggest wave in the world besides
Tsunami,lots of people have died there, including that one famous guy. Imagine
being in ice cold water and seeing a six story building being hurled upon you.
It was kept out of Endless Summer 2. I wondered why on earth they would exclude
the world's roughest wave, but then I realize they don't want everyone and their
mother attempting a wave that kills even long time pro surfers. I've seen this
wave, it is phenomenal. What with Santa Cruz so close, SF ain't a bad place to
live, except now the prices have spiraled out of control, and all the people who
made it a fun place to live--well let's just say I don't think I
ll ever live in a mansion with three guys and 14 cats. Man those were the days.
A cat for every room in the house. Except the meesies, they had to share the
concert hall size living room. Those were the days, I had my own bathroom, I
paid $200 a month and utilities was about ten dollars a month. Concerts were
5-10 bucks. Don't get me wrong though. I understand inflation to a small
degrrree.
Any way, all is sunshine and
light. I'll write anything on Somedays. I don't ever know whut point Iam trying
to get across. I just a Ramblin Rose, speaking of which, HEY. I'm thinkig of
changing my last name to Rose. I had it changed at the doctorr's
. Just need to carry Deranged Slut (tm) down to the courthouse and show up with
like a spare hundred. Never had a spare dollar in my life. Except when....
Isn't it great when you do laundry for a tuxedo shop and a $100 bill falls out? That happened when would check the pockets for misc before sending them to get drycleaned. A lot of the time the pants would have spermies and we would pick the thing up with a big metal rod. Another time the tux had been rolled in straw or to the effect, and I had to go buy some Lysol,
hmph. jobs. I once found a Mont Blanc at the dry cleaners, they would fire me if I took it, and I keep thinking, hm this isn't so great a job.
Another Mont Blanc story. My bud Bjorn had lent Meg a pen. She carried it at the bottom of her vintage purse for months. She returned it as soon as she saw him next, cause we all got long Boring--me all over--busy schedules. Well she thought it was just a fountain pen. It was like a 4000 dollar pen he had gotten for passing the bar or something.
Crazy....cool.Over in out.
I pressed esc AGAIN today after the usual post. Can you pull this button out and make it into an earring. I'm always getting my pinkie creeping up there.
oh yes, some SD related things. I hope this isn't rehash because you 've heard it do many times. Is the boy in the Caves of Altamira, did he grow up to be the narrator of Janie Runaway? So can we assume he has a heavy accent, maybe cute like Antonio Banderas with his sexy voive. Is he concerned about taking the underage Janie across fedreral line because he has a visa that is close to expiring, and he 's got thiideal thing going onwith Janie, because
she has a friend named Melanie , who Is 24 year olds, whom he could marryto
retain permanent visa, if Janie will just be cool about it, and he knows if he
has group sex, that they, the girls, will deeply bond and wham, he's a U.S.
citizen he doesn'y have to go back to Spain, though if he does he's pretending
he
s taking hr for her birthday, when In FACT (tm)he is getting really antsy,
because the major corporation that put him up in Gramercy Park won't let him
telecommut as he's been doing and alsohe has an ex in Espana~
He left Spain to get awy from Pillar, and he's quite confident if he shows up now, married, and with 16 (?) year old mistress besides sh'll get the hint.
He''l fly back to New York
refreshed and eagerto find work.
With two girls in tow' he becomes motivated securesa fortunate work ssituatin.
They all sleep in a king sized bed, and they always don surgical masks for the
protection of their selves and others when they venture outside the huge
apartment.

Midnite-DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW! Derek Trucks and his band played a little over an hour and they really rocked. Great slide, of course, with some vocals interspersed. I'd describe them as jazzy R&B with some Carribean stuff here and there. A really impressive show.
Eric Johnson has got to be one of the nicest, most low-key guys in the music world! He seemed to be having a great time and his attitude was like he was playing for a bunch of his buddies. He played mostly new stuff, and it's AWESOME! Mostly rockers, all styles, with several lasting 10-15 minutes. He didn't do too much of his vocal stuff-he was joking about not liking to sing! Of the old numbers, he did "SRV", "Nothing Can Keep Me From You", "Trademark" and "Cliffs of Dover" (he seems to like his second album best). The only thing I wish he'd done differently was play some of his slower songs-"Manhattan" is one of my faves and I missed hearing it. In a similar vein, he has a new one called "Rain" that's breathtaking.
I was really impressed at how he duplicated his CD sound onstage perfectly, and hearing that unique EJ guitar style live was incredible. He only played about 90 minutes, but did 2 encores, one with Derek Trucks. Some of the songs were so intricate that it really takes a musician to appreciate what they were doing, but the audience was full of hardcore EJ fans who just soaked it all up. You're going to love this show, Midnite!

Exactly, there is no such thing as conscious
scapegoating. Conscious scapegoating is a modern parody of this scapegoating
which is of the order of propaganda,
because it implies prior representation. But for me the first representation is
really the sacred because if scapegoating works, that is, if you are not aware
of the
projection against the victim and if the scapegoating is unanimous, if the
mimetic impulse is rigorous enough to make it unanimous, which may happen only
after a
great deal of violence and after a phase of what I would call partial
scapegoatings...

Good afternoon all!
I was wondering, anyone here ever give a listen to Ben Folds Five? They had some commercial success a few years back with a little ballad called "Brick". While this song is fantastic, it's not a true representation of their musical brilliance. Yes, I used the word brilliance. Being on a SD board, and with all the talk lately of Pat Metheny, I figured there may be some BFF fan's hiding out around here as well. I sometimes wonder if maybe SD and PM might have been influences of theirs. Anyhoo, if anyone's interested in checking out this little 3 man band from South Carolina, some of my faves are "Philosophy" (great piano work on this one!), "Smoke" (if you're on Napster, download the "non album version", it's much dreamier than the album version), "Don't Change Your Plans", "Steven's Last Night in Town", and for a few laughs, check out the lyrics on "She Don't Use Jelly".
Okay, that's it for my contribution today. Hope you'll all give 'em a listen.

Aja....more info on the EJ/Derek Trucks show please. EJ is my all time favorite guitarist. I've seen him four times and had the pleasure of seeing Derek when he was barely big enough to hold up his SG and he wailed even at that tender age.
trying to recoup from a sinus infection that turned into the flu here almost a week ago. sucks being sick but at least the worst seems to be over.
the birds seemed to have reappeared in full force after several months of very few sightings. Lots of cardinals, chickadees, juncos, nuthatches, titmice, woodpeckers, blue jays and a few wrens and sparrows. at least the crows and starlings are staying away. we also have the squirrels up there every day and our fat little racoon buddy and the flying squirrels there after dark to clean up the left overs. and a mother and young doe deer at the creek in the backyard this morning. the menagerie is intact.
my prediction: Giants by 7 this Sunday.
time for a NyQuil and Xanax cocktail.

Went to the Eric Johnson/Derek Trucks show last night. I'll post more later (when I don't have to look like I'm working) but the show was great! It's great to go to a concert that's all about music and not showmanship. EJ played mostly new songs (and they ROCK) but the ones he did from his CD's sounded EXACTLY like the CD version, note for note. I just love his sound.

YGI - that should be "Xanax", not "Xantax". Here in Sweden the market-name for them is Xanor, but that doesn't fit in in the melody.
Roy Scam - I am awfully sorry for my gossip column about Terry Kath. Hope your scrollfinger is intact.
Apropos gossip, I read an article in Rolling Stone about that drummer, I forgot his name, he was on the Mad Dogs and Englishmen-tour (THAT seemed to be a party), with Clapton. He co-wrote Leila (Layla?) with Clapton, or let's say he wrote the instrumental vamp.
HE was crazy. He heard voices you see, and they told him to stabb his mother... oha woah! He's in prison still. I THINK he's is still in prison. If his mother lived and got murdered in Texas, he's definy NOT still in prison.
What, where is Gina? Gone?

Standing's tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
These dreams, insights
Will get you admitted
At this point in time, that is clear
The future looks... desperate and dark?
On that trail all bright-eyed and bitter
Under siege by rage
Ninety minutes from New York to Suburb
Well by seven to six we'll be T.K.O
What a beautiful world this will
be
What a glorious time to be free
Pay your ticket for that parking
space
While there's time
The pigskin's in
You'll be a witness to that same old dance and a sigh
You know who's going to win
Here at home we'll play indoors silly
Unplugged like the sun
Perfect weather for a scream line girl
That'll be Zantax tablets, one for everyone
What a beautiful world this will
be
What a glorious time to be free
On that trail all bright-eyed and
bitter
Under siege by rage
Ninety minutes from New York to Suburb
(Heart seizure time, poor heart is overworked)
Trust machines to call big elections
Perform fellatio on your company's minions
Wipe it clean when the work is done
We'll work entirely for free yes and entirely stunned
Oooooh

What a glorious time to be free

Hello fello danophiles. A recent period of not hitting on all cylinders has caused me to fall irretrievably behind this site for the first time in about four years. If anyone hailed me, I apologize.
A quick scrolling scan revealed several subjects about which I would like to have pontificated: 1) The Ken Burns Jazz documentary, 2) the 'Catalyst' collection of Steely demos (see above quote), 3) Robbie Robertson, 4) Grammies, 5) favorite Steely Dan chord, 6) Art Modell sucks.
So I'll restrict my mini-pontification to one subject: If I heard the song "Sun Mountain" anonymously on the radio (the solo Fagen version, not the more ornate version sung by someone else),I would probably think it was a Christian inspirational number. This for several reasons, not the least of which is the popular word play on "sun" and "Son". There seems to be an attitude of redemption, total submission, and anti-humanism in the lyrics, backed by gospelly piano chords.
One of my favorite lines is, "no moonlight to guide me; no shadows to hide me." To me that pulls up memories of a state of mind so desparate that it's too dark to see your way through but not dark enough to protect you from anything. Great lyric, Mr. Fagen and/or Becker!
Adios from Virginia. This is supposed to be the southland, but today it's cold enough to hypothermiate the genitals from a metallic simian.

And I figure what has kept me listening to Steely Dan
over the years is definitely Donald Fagen's voice. It reaches in and pull out my
"ground humor" for me to hear.
My kind of inner voice, really.
There's melancholy and a certain weariness that comes through. At other times,
it's that same kind of half-assed playfulness I can relate to.
I understand there are many ways of relating to this music. Bottom line is: you
either hear the irony in IGY or you don't. I think I do. I'm one of those then.

and about his death;
he was playing russian roulette with a gun during a heavy cocaine and alcohol-party at his house. People told him to put away the gun, but instead he pulled the trigger and died.
I think it was Pankow, who came to his house after a phonecall, said to the media;
"Actually it was natural to see him lying there on the floor... we could all see it coming... all his drinking, all those drugs..."
Pretty sad.

timgimt - major hilarity...
Blaise et Wormy, mon bon freres? Does this mean you guys have webbed feet too?
Speaking of bon freres... NM Nanc - Ohia? Me too; Springfield. (Useless fact #3354: there are 22 Springfields in the United States - Nat. Geographic Atlas, 1981) Don't forget local heerohs of funk the Ohia Playahs and Slave... You know, all my time growing up there and I never had the official state chili. Btw, we're all out of Weideman, but we got Hudephol (sp?) and Strohs ("It's fire brewed.")
Speaking of superbowl fantasies,
here's mine: the "Evil Browns" (Ravens) die an agonizing and
embarassing football death, and Art Modell and George Dubya can get caught
together in a
lurid sexual embrace in the owner's box as Dubya tries to "console"
him (after all, he's sooo sincere). That would be a perfect football weekend.
(Yeah, I dream big.) Really, the "real" Browns were the first team I
ever liked as a kid, and after what Modell did to Clevelend fans - the ones that
made him rich by going to watch his crappy teams year in & out, in sub
freezing temperatures... outdoors... on the side of a lake - by moving his
crappy team to Baltimore, he doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a superbowl. If
the "Evil Browns" win, it will be as bad as Dudya "winning"
the "election."
(Whew. I feel better now. I had to vent...)
Ok... about Chicago... about "the cause" 'till that all got fragmented, and then so did their focus, which Terry Kath always seem to have problems with. I don't know about his hard drug intake, but Terry Kath died in what was ruled as "death by misadventure," - on this date in 1978. As the "conscience" and real rock influence in the band, Chicago music quickly deteriorated without him (definitely mho, but I was a big fan; Jan 24, '78 wasn't an easy day in high school), though some might say he saw the 80's coming and bailed...
gotta book... somebody spellcheck this for me...

Whem mentioning geographical puns, I forgot the best two. One is In-n-Out burger next to a Motel 6. There was a Steely Dan character outside, offering to split a room with my boyfriend and Obvious Slut (tm) for $7 once we were told all the rooms were sold out.
This one is the best. There is an ice cream store next to a dry cleaners. Several of the lights on the signs are out, it reads "I REAM 1 hr".
Anyway, Edison Slut has (tm) a new invention. It's called the Danagramaphone. All you do ,see, is put in a tape or CD or an Edison roll. It comes out sounding as if it was sung and produced by Steely Dan. There is a switch to make it sound like Walt is singing. There is a switch for first arrangement, second arrangement, 64th arrangement. This way Country Western Slut (tm) can put in The Best of Patsy Cline, and end up with a perverted and cautionary tale the way the Dan would sound.
I still need $275 for the patent. I need $275 for the Jazz Crayons. I could use a few bucks to pay for lunch.
So many ideas, not enough money. Patent Slut (tm) has at least six web domains, if anyone wants to buy them. They all have catchy names. No one's made an offer yet.
Nobody likes me.
The reference to George Bush goes here.
DS (tm) so alone.
Insecure.
At least Angered Slut (tm) don't take it out on someone on the Guestbook by

At least Passive/ Agressive Slut (tm) doesn't spread misplaced anger around. Luckily I've got a Mom for that.

I'm sorry "Jazz" is over. It's been a great journey-thanks Mr. Burns.
Is it only Tuesday?

Re: the mystery trumpeter in the Fogel photo--that was one Tony Kadleck, who was called in at the last minute to sub for a couple of shows when Michael Leonhart got taken ill. According to the ODP, Tony acquitted himself very well indeed.
Mr. Fogel, sir: terrific photos, once again! Ooooh, did they give me a rush of happy memories! Makes me look forward all the more to the upcoming wingding in NYC. See you soon!
Re: the mystery of my appearance -- Lester, dear, why do you ask? :-) As NMN noted, you can find a picture of me (admittedly playfully messed with in Photoshop) on my website (www.drizzle.com/~mizducky), under the "Art Portfolio" link; scroll to the bottom of that page and voila. I think Hoops has a couple of video clips of me also in his iDanvention section on www.dandom.com. Heh. Just remember--in appearance I may be far from capable of passing for a Steely Dan background singer, but I'm still a helluva lotta fun.

Gina - you talked about him, the Brasilian, a while ago? Strange.

DON'T BE AFRAID of space girl. Every painting, every piece of music you love have this; space.
Look at this:
"...or if she was feeling really frisky... the full colon."
That's better öh?
Well have an awe-inspiring fever, must be around 30 - 40 degrees Celsius, got to go home, see you tomorrow, IF I survive the nite.

just checked out the new photos Pete Fogel put up on his site. Awesome! One question. There is one shot of Becker and Herington jaming with three of the horns in the background. The guy blowing the Trumpet IS NOT Michael Leonhart. The caption says it's from the 2000 tour which I saw. Who is this man?
