(2003-01-30) -- The Republic of Iraq today announced it would co-sign a
letter from eight European nations supporting U.S. plans to disarm Iraq.
A spokesman for Saddam Hussein said Iraq would stand with the gang of eight against his own nation "in order to avoid being associated with the so-called Axis of Weasels - Germany and France."
"There are somethings worse than being invaded," said the unnamed Iraqi spokesman. "We can recover from a war, but it would be difficult to live down that 'weasel' connection. Even when we buy weapons materials from France and Germany, we ask them to keep it quiet. People will talk, you know."

Message: U.S. President George Bush, in tomorrow night's speech, will announce he is scrapping plans for an invasion of Iraq because of the "new bond of trust" established between the two countries.
"Thanks to the United Nations inspections process," the speech begins, "A new bond of trust has developed between the United States and the Republic of Iraq. We can be assured that Iraq is clean. I really thought they had weapons of mass destruction, because they used to, but we know they're all gone, because the inspectors can't find them. What can I say? I was wrong. It's time to mend fences, and welcome Iraq back into the fellowship of peace-loving nations."
A leaked copy of the speech shows that Bush will publicly apologize to Saddam Hussein for "ever having doubted this respected world leader."
An unnamed White House source said Mr. Bush has called Mr. Hussein on the phone to concede his error and beg forgiveness. The Iraqi leader apparently welcomed the call, and said "No hard feelings."
The often-playful Mr. Bush even has a nickname now for the Iraqi president,
according to the source, "He calls him 'Hussy'."

This next one is from the MTV site, regarding feedback on the Grammy nominations. I find the comment on Steely Dan very interesting. Amazing how people who don't know any better, can revise history.
"Then again, Eminem already has five golden gramophones in his trophy
case (though none in the big four categories), and the Recording Academy did
grant an Album of the Year Grammy to Steely Dan in 2001, for Two Against Nature,
which featured the song "Cousin Dupree," about incest. But old guards like
Donald Fagen and Walter Becker have always had Grammy odds in their favor, which
is why Springsteen stands such a good shot. And even if The Eminem Show doesn't
win for Album of the Year and "Without Me" doesn't lay claim to Record of the
Year, Eminem is likely to make good on at least one of his other three
nominations."

What makes this country great is the fact the federal government can't always get away with this shit. Check and balances, man. Again, I'll remind you that the Seattle City Council's reaction was a bit extreme, however, it was necessary in the face of Assholecroft.
Oh, and another thing that makes this country great -- it's previous immigration policies. We are truly a model where multiple cultures can live together (not perfect by any means) and prosper. Don't forget that Anglo-dude. Ashcroft certainly has...
If you think for a minute that previous immigration policies are at the root of the problems of 9/11 you, once again, aren't looking at the big picture. Sure, modifications are necessary, but it ain't *the* problem.

Message: for the UK GB'ers

''Dear ******,
I hope I am able to help. GMT isn't too commonly used in
the US, but I looked it up on a web site and Eastern time in the states
corresponds to 0500 GMT. Central time, 0600 GMT. Mountain time is 0700 GMT and
Pacific time is 0800 GMT. So if it is midnight here (I am eastern time), does
that mean it is 5:00 AM in the UK?
The best thing to do, I think, would be
to scout out a station. For example, tonight on WBGO out of Newark, NJ (eastern
time) Piano Jazz airs at 7:00 pm. So, if the above calculations are correct, you
should be able to hear the show between Midnight and 1AM. Of course, if that is
too late for you, I'm sure you can find another station that airs PJ in our
afternoon, your evening, or in our morning, your afternoon. Again, our web site,
www.pianojazz.org should have all the programming information including times
and time zones.
The Steely Dan program begins airing on Feb 11th and
unfortunately, it will not be available to listen to after it has been
broadcast. Stations have roughly a two week period in which to air the Piano
Jazz program, so you may be able to listen once on one station, and find the
program again on another station, the next week.
We will surely rebroadcast

Terry Jones
Sunday January 26, 2003
The Observer
I'm really excited by George Bush's latest reason for bombing Iraq: he's
running out of patience. And so am I!
For some time now I've been really
pissed off with Mr Johnson, who lives a couple of doors down the street. Well,
him and Mr Patel, who runs the health food shop. They both give me queer looks,
and I'm sure Mr Johnson is planning something nasty for me, but so far I haven't
been able to discover what. I've been round to his place a few times to see what
he's up to, but he's got everything well hidden. That's how devious he is.
As for Mr Patel, don't ask me how I know, I just know - from very good sources - that he is, in reality, a Mass Murderer. I have leafleted the street telling them that if we don't act first, he'll pick us off one by one.
Some of my neighbours say, if I've got proof, why don't I go to the police? But that's simply ridiculous. The police will say that they need evidence of a crime with which to charge my neighbours.
They'll come up with endless red tape and quibbling about the rights and wrongs of a pre-emptive strike and all the while Mr Johnson will be finalising his plans to do terrible things to me, while Mr Patel will be secretly murdering people. Since I'm the only one in the street with a decent range of automatic firearms, I reckon it's up to me to keep the peace. But until recently that's been a little difficult. Now, however, George W. Bush has made it clear that all I need to do is run out of patience, and then I can wade in and do whatever I want!
And let's face it, Mr Bush's carefully thought-out policy towards Iraq is the only way to bring about international peace and security. The one certain way to stop Muslim fundamentalist suicide bombers targeting the US or the UK is to bomb a few Muslim countries that have never threatened us.
That's why I want to blow up Mr Johnson's garage and kill his wife and children. Strike first! That'll teach him a lesson. Then he'll leave us in peace and stop peering at me in that totally unacceptable way.
Mr Bush makes it clear that all he needs to know before bombing Iraq is that Saddam is a really nasty man and that he has weapons of mass destruction - even if no one can find them. I'm certain I've just as much justification for killing Mr Johnson's wife and children as Mr Bush has for bombing Iraq.
Mr Bush's long-term aim is to make the world a safer place by eliminating 'rogue states' and 'terrorism'. It's such a clever long-term aim because how can you ever know when you've achieved it? How will Mr Bush know when he's wiped out all terrorists? When every single terrorist is dead? But then a terrorist is only a terrorist once he's committed an act of terror. What about would-be terrorists? These are the ones you really want to eliminate, since most of the known terrorists, being suicide bombers, have already eliminated themselves.
Perhaps Mr Bush needs to wipe out everyone who could possibly be a future terrorist? Maybe he can't be sure he's achieved his objective until every Muslim fundamentalist is dead? But then some moderate Muslims might convert to fundamentalism. Maybe the only really safe thing to do would be for Mr Bush to eliminate all Muslims?
It's the same in my street. Mr Johnson and Mr Patel are just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens of other people in the street who I don't like and who - quite frankly - look at me in odd ways. No one will be really safe until I've wiped them all out.
My wife says I might be going too far but I tell her I'm simply using the same logic as the President of the United States. That shuts her up.
Like Mr Bush, I've run out of patience, and if that's a good enough reason for the President, it's good enough for me. I'm going to give the whole street two weeks - no, 10 days - to come out in the open and hand over all aliens and interplanetary hijackers, galactic outlaws and interstellar terrorist masterminds, and if they don't hand them over nicely and say 'Thank you', I'm going to bomb the entire street to kingdom come.
It's just as sane as what George W. Bush is proposing - and, in contrast to what he's intending, my policy will destroy only one street.

And I'm not going to debate this issue on a point by point basis. Suffice to say (your buddy) John Ashcroft is out-of-control and the Seattle City Council resolution you mention is a reaction to this government running amuck. Both sides do more harm than good in the long run. Call it a check and balance. Somewhere in the middle would be nice.

Message: Bill: Could you believe it when W announce a big R&D program for Fuel Cells!! Only Juan Williams and I seemed to see the same speech - the first half was centrist when averaged and almost Clintonian...The help for AIDS in Africa is vital...6 million and many are children...When I saw the collective YAWN by Congress at the announcement of the fuel cell initiative which would greatly reduce oil consumption, pollution, CO2...it's clear that nothing has changed since Mr. Smith went to Washington (but that's like saying professional wrestling is fake)...let's put term limits on these morons...
The second half was emotional/stressed and the case was made for danger, but NOT for war, though the polls and pundits say otherwise...
...the sarin gas incident in the mosque in Britain is especially troubling, since only Iraq is capable of making the stuff... The real evidence will be left to Powell on the 5th...and Powell is really pissed after being blindsided by the French...
...just hope it's over before May 6th...
13: Facts are stubborn things (where are yours? Who played in the 1977 title game? 1987? 1993?) - the record of the Big 12/8 in the NCAAs in the last 25 years is public and abysmal. It's a Very, Very long time since Wilt the stilt... Danny Manning and Kansas did take a team in 1988 that was out the top 20 and made a great run to the top beating conference rival Oklahoma with King, Grant, and Price...and a Roy Williams team was outmanned in 1991 by a Duke squad that had upset UNLV two days before - the UNLV-Duke game was possibly more interesting than the Duke-Kentucky Regional finals the following year (the one with the Laettner shot after the Grant Hill length of the floor pass)...given that UNLV was undefeated and had a winning margin of over 20 points per game...
I simply sorted into current conferences - Conference USA didn't exist in 1977 either, nor the Big East, and the ACC had 2 fewer teams - what's your point? It didn't take any time at all....just a big fan of college ball and don't have to look it up...now, football - that's another story...the things that pass for logic I can't understand...I dub thee yet another anon moronic coward...YAWN....just poking fun at the folks around me - if I had thrown a yuk or barb at Garth Brooks, you'd be defending him?

city council has now made it ILLEGAL for a police officer to
ask
whether a person is in this country legally or not! The Seattle city
council refers to this policy as the "Don't Ask" policy on immigration
enforcement. The city council passed this legistlation 9 to 0...

ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING from the events of 9/11/2001. Maybe the illegals will

However, if it is true I'm sure that Winnebago will take an appeal and the injustice (assuming the truth of the facts as articulated below) will be corrected. This type of decision is horrifying to me as a product liability lawyer. Many jurors do not like "corporations" and punish them without justification. On the other hand, many corporations act unethically and deserve punishment. The Courts are there to try to make sure the guilty get punished, the negligent pay for what they caused, the innocent are not held reponsibile and the victims get that to which they are entitled and no more. Like any human institution, it don't always work out the way it should.

Glad to see that Ricky Lawson isn't on the new disc. His drumming is okay, but just not enough variety. His two drum solos in the first 4 live songs in 2000 wasn't pretty even if most of the crowd loved it. He also has an ego rivaling Bernard Perdie. Off with the showboating, I say and on with some serious musicianship.

Fagen: My stepson, who has expressed zero interest in coming to our gigs this year, begged me to see if I could get four tickets to Kiss. ..."

Oakland fans riot after RaidersÆ loss
OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 27 ù Police
arrested 65 people and dispersed scores more with tear gas and rubber pellets as
fans, unhappy with the Oakland RaidersÆ loss to Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl,
took to the streets Sunday night to hurl rocks and bottles and set fire to cars.
THREE FIREMEN sustained minor injuries from bottles and rocks thrown by rioters
along International Boulevard. Most of the arrests were for
drunkenness.
Hoping to avoid rioting, police had assigned hundreds of extra
officers to work Sunday, but as crowds gathered after the RaidersÆ 48-21 loss to
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, trouble broke out. About 10 vehicles were set on fire,
and crowds broke the windows of at least one television news van, police and
witnesses said. One group of young men set debris on fire in the middle of a
street and then posed for news photographers. Rioters broke nearly every window
at a McDonaldÆs restaurant, which was also set on fire. Tear gas wafted through
the area, and some witnesses picked up rubber bullets fired by police. Police
closed off some streets as the trouble shifted through various areas of East
Oakland. Eventually, things quieted down. It was the second week in a row that
violence happened after a Raiders game. The previous week, after the team
advanced to the Super Bowl, crowds set fires, broke windows and threw rocks and
bottles along International Boulevard, the same area hit after the championship
game. Some shop owners in the area closed at kickoff time in hopes of avoiding
trouble.

At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a beautiful blonde woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand and gently led him into the house and up the stairs to the bedroom, where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When he had had enough, they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Then she poured him a cup of steamingcoffee.
As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under
the
cup's bottom edge. "All this was just too wonderful for words," he
said, "but
what's the dollar for?"
"Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be
your

do. He said, 'Screw him! Give him a dollar!'"
The blonde then said brightly, "The breakfast was my idea!"

'Everything Must Go' voor Steely Dan
Gepubliceerd op donderdag 23 januari 2003
Steely Dan komt met een nieuw album. 'Everything Must Go' verschijnt op 6 mei. Het is de opvolger van songwriterduo Walter Becker en Donald Fagen's succesvolle comeback album 'Two Against Nature', dat in 2000 verscheen na een stilte van 20 jaar. Dit album sleepte meteen meerdere Grammy Awards in de wacht, inclusief voor album van het jaar, waardoor de verwachtingen voor de nieuwe schijf hooggespannen zijn.
Als we platenmaatschappij Reprise moeten geloven, worden de fans niet teleurgesteld. 'Everything Must Go' bevat ook dit keer Steely Dan's kenmerkende mix van ironische, cryptische teksten en traditionele pop, blues, R&B en jazz invloeden. De opnames voor de nieuwe plaat gingen van een leien dakje en namen slechts een jaar in beslag. Becker en Fagen zijn tevreden. "We went for live tracking this time and got great, in-the-pocket tracks," zegt Walter Becker. Fagen vult aan: "It's mad, it's wiggy, I love it."
Zoals we van Steely Dan gewend zijn, heeft het duo wederom sessiemuzikanten aangetrokken om de songs beter tot hun recht te laten komen. Naast Becker en Fagen bestaat de band verder uit Keith Carlock (drums), Ted Baker (keyboards), jazz sensatie Bill Charlap (keyboards) en Jon Herington en Hugh McCracken (gitaar).
Becker zelf nam de basgitaar en gitaar ter hand, terwijl Fagen de tracks van keyboards, orgels, Rhodes, synths en alle nummers behalve TTn van zang voorzag. Becker neemt de solo zangpartijen voor zijn rekening op die ene track. Dat is voor het eerst in het gehele Steely Dan studio oeuvre.
Achter de knoppen zaten oude bekenden Elliot Scheiner, Dave Russel en Roger Nichols, die ook verantwoordelijk waren voor het geluid van 'Two Against Nature', met daarbij nieuwkomer T.J. Doherty.
In de jaren zeventig crederde Steely Dan klassiekers als 'Reeling In The Years', 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number', 'Peg' en 'Hey Nineteen', afkomstig van hun zeven platina albums. Vanaf 1980 werd het stil rondom Steely Dan, tot de release van het live album in 1995 'Alive In America', dat werd opgevolgd door 'Two Against Nature' in 2000. Binnenkort dus: æEverything Must GoÆ.

Nice to hear from you as well...
2003 shaping up pretty well so far, huh?
New Dan in May and our man William Gibson out with a new tome... "Pattern Recognition".
The review I read has Mr. Gibson deferring his cyberpunk prose style for a more Pynchon-esque treatment this time out. Sounds interesting, no? I'll have to pick this one up for sure... I wonder if we'll stumble upon the requisite Dan allusion here and there? Hmmmm...
Apparently D&W have decided to return the favor and tip their hat to Gibson on the new one. Yes indeed, this could make for some VERY interesting Fever Dreams this summer.
Haven't been here for a while. Has anyone mentioned Fagen's excellent comments in Ashley Kahn's recent Coltrane tribute? Don't know if this is old news but this one and Kahn's "Kind of Blue" chronicle are definite keepers in my book.

When I first heard the studio version of Jack of Speed, I was not happy in comparison to Walters' version. The song of course grew on me and now I love it. I think Donald's version, slowed down if I remember correctly, is a particulary 'sexy' song, lol. I know they are the same tune with some different lyrics, but somehow they aren't the same song to me. Someday I should make it a point to listen to them side by side.

it....
"Despite its critical acclaim, "Two Against Nature" didn't
generate any hits along the lines of the "Gaucho" favorites "Hey Nineteen" (No.
10 on The Billboard Hot 100) and "Time Out of Mind" (No. 22). Indeed, backstage
at the 2000 Grammys, Fagen told Billboard any new Steely Dan music wouldn't
likely be influenced by any modern tunes. "I haven't listened to the radio for,
like, 30 years," he admitted. "I still listen to the same jazz records I
listened to in high school, basically."

Message: Sue, I concur with your summation of Becker's vocals and talent. I've always loved the poignancy of Steely's lyrics. Becker's influence in their collective efforts is apparent from "11 Tracks of Whack" Some of the lyrics can lacerate ones soul without you realizing that you're bruised and bleeding until later. I became more appreciative of Steely Dan's music as I grew older. The wonderful complexities of the melodies, and their clean precision. Are you a blues fan by any chance? I can't wait until May! Rickie Lee Jones is in the studio and Steely's release in May..Whoo Hoo!!!!

Message: Molly--I'd like to visit the chat room, but I'm extremely busy these days--I've been working ten hours a day in an attempt to catch up, I'm remodeling my bathroom, and I'm about to have the house rewired (probably starting next week, if the temperatures climb above freezing), which will require clearing a veritable mountain of things out of the way. Also, Dave, my boyfriend, who lives in St. Louis, visited over the weekend, which made me even more behind. He is good about helping me; we made numerous trips to Home Depot and locally owned hardware stores so I could buy things for the house, and he helped me move a large piece of furniture, but he still set me back a bit. He only visits once every two months, so I expect the rewiring and replastering to be done by his next visit, but by then I'll be in the middle of stripping the woodwork. He's a good boy, though, so I'm sure he'll offer to help and he won't slow down the work any. Anyway, once the electrical work is done, I'll have to go back to copyediting books in my free time to pay off the credit cards I'm using to pay for the work, so I won't have any time for anything not work related for a long time. When I'm all paid up, I'll then have time to visit the chat room and I look forward to getting to know you and others better.
Regarding Beckers' voice and solo work, I think his voice is fine, but his technique is awful. He could certainly learn to use his voice in a much more polished, professional-sounding way. ( I have several friends who are professional classical singers, so I hear a lot about proper vocal technique.) Also, I found 11 Tracks of Whack really boring and only played it a few times. On the other hand, I love Fagen's solo work--so elegant, smooth, and polished. I prefer instrumental music and ignore lyrics, so I have no opinion on them.
Bill--Yes, if I didn't know who had made 11 Tracks of Whack, I'd get rid of it rather than keeping it around and not playing it ;^) It's just not the kind of music I like, though. I prefer traditional jazz and lounge music, and I love Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., etc.

Message: A second shot at Second Arrangement would be great.
Also, I don't understand the negative responses towards Walter's
singing.
I really like 11 Tracks Of Whack. Actually, I like it alot more than
2VN.
It's got a few relatively hard songs on it like "Lucky Henry",
"Surf
and/or Die" and "Hard Up Case", and a few really interesting
songs like
"Junkie Girl" and "Cringemaker". "Book of Liars" is a really
great song and
"Hat Too Flat" is hilarious. Walter's deliver is
significantly different
than Donalds but it's not bad.
What you have to do with 11 Tracks of Whack is to just forget who
made the
album and just listen to it as if it was someone you didn't
already know.
The vocal identity of Steely Dan is Donald Fagen.
It will always be that way.
It's not fair blanket Walter's work
with that vocal identity.
Anyway, "Everything Must Go" is gonna rock I just know it!

Message:
Steely-folk,
In light of the news of the new Steely Dan release, I thought I'd chime in 'bout a few things...
Firstly, to Aja - I had the same thought you did upon hearing the new album's title, i.e. would "The Second Arrangement" finally make it to an album? By the same token at the back of my mind I doubted it immediately, but it was interesting to see someone else on the same train of thought, a couple of cars ahead no less. The passing thought of a possibly reworked (and still topical, no less) "Fall of '92" also faded quickly.
Secondly, I for one was very pleased to hear of the alleged upcoming Becker vocal debut on a Steely release; some of us play his album more than either of Fagen's (suffice it to say they're all still four star releases at my house); I'm sure this new track will make up for the RELATIVE disappointment with the
