I drive alot in my job so i listen to the radio alot, I usually hear SD at least once a day, either part or all of any song mainly DIA, but lately I've been hearing them at least 2 or 3 times daily, on a couple of classic rock and one Jazz station we have here in Tampa bay, I wonder if this is happening in your hometown radio and is this a prelude to the new one coming out, so people can get use to hearing them more frequently before its release. Cool idea, I wonder if its true!

GKR--Hold the presses! The package arrived yesterday. Great pix, and very becoming it is too. Thanx.
KDF--Any brush with the c-word is frightening, and survival so sweet. Congratulations on coming through with your voice and your life.
Dr. Doom--Very good observation, colleague of mine. It's REALLY rare, though, and to amend what Julie Andrews' shaky surgeon said, as far as I know it's always associated with the Herpes zoster virus--not the one that you're thinking of, but the one that causes shingles. Otherwise viral infections are pretty self-limited. So if it's a "throat infection," I'm optimistic about those tracks getting laid down not far in the future.
Clas--I'll check it out in New Orleans. And hey! You didn't give me a chance to guess! I had a parakeet named Tom Dooley, after the song.
Rose--Gotcha. So what do you bet?

Hello all,
nothing new in the news to report, I am afraid.Mitch: the new tentative official date is August 10 per the Reprise record home page, however sources have confirmed that Donald did in fact have a bad throat condition and is back in the studio. Howver, my best guess is that the CD won't come out until September sometime.
Ole: Thanks for the info: I am hot on the trail and will meet with sucess.
Turns out I did get a ticket the Stones concert in Hartford tomorrow - but am chosing not go since UCONN made the finals. My wife is going instead - lucky girl. I know they don't stand much of a chance according to the experts, but I have to see if UCONN can do it - all it takes is 40 minutes of great basketball.

As for Donald's possible polyps. I guess the hope is no lasting damage. When the NEW ONE comes it will come and not sooner, whatever the reason. It'll be worth the wait. If there's any real news I guess we'll hear it soon enough. It's not as if D&W employ Lewinsky's publicist. Until then those sympthetic holders of rarities, will no doubt be happy to share their burden with us all.

Ole: Was hoping this was somehow just one of those rumors about Donald's voice. Your speculation re: polyps, etc sure caught my attention. Seven years ago I had what the doctor thought was a polyp on my "true vocal cord." It turned out to be malignant, and I'm a nonsmoker. It was a highly unusual occurence, according to top specialists in the field. The typical case is male, smoker, in the fifties age bracket. All I can say is, it was endless voice rest, three surgeries, and took me from January to August to completely recover. I am very fortunate that it didn't spread and I'm also very fortunate my voice did not become permanently hoarse. Let's pray there is nothing like this going on with our Donald. :(Just Katy

Herm et al.--Gotcha. Anybody have a little extra memory they could loan out to keep track of all these dates? And I hate to say it, but why bother when all you get is 10 bucks & a pick? Come on, you pecunious pundits, ante up and put your [insert commodity here] where your mouth is!
GKR--Transcontinental mail must be reeeeeally slow. Nothing to date.
Mad Dog--Right on.
Re Mr. Fagen's voice--I'm puzzled. Viruses that affect the vocal cords (eg that cause laryngitis) are usually self-limited and resolve in a matter of days. How then could a virus set back the release date by weeks or months? As GKR noted, could it be possible that none of the vocal tracks are down yet? And if they weren't, why the prolonged delay? There are lots of singers who have acute irritations of their cords who use means to get their voices back fast--for example, inhaled corticosteroids, which are pretty safe in the short run. What I'd be concerned about is if he had something like a vocal cord polyp or nodule. Initial treatment for those can include voice rest (no talking for days to weeks, much less singing), and surgery can be necessary. That might explain a prolonged layoff. Most of the time in nonsmokers they're benign. But if he did have one, he might be laying off singing for MONTHS. Hmm, does that mean Mr. Becker might be doing a little more frontsmanship? BTW, Shaman & your BP's, please don't regard this as an exercise in groupiethink but as a little professional rumination.

BEWARE: McD100GB
Experts warned today of a new and deadly threat to our beleaguered civilization: the 100GB Bug.
As most people know, McDonald's restaurant signs show the number of hamburgers the giant chain has sold. That number now stands at 99 billion burgers, or 99 Gigaburgers (GB). Within months or even weeks, that number will roll over to 100GB.
McDonald's signs, however, were designed years ago, when the prospect of selling one hundred billion hamburgers seemed unthinkably remote. So the signs have only two decimal places. This means that, after the sale of the 100 billionth burger, McDonald's signs will read "00 Billion Burgers Sold." This, experts predict, will convince the public that, in over thirty years, no McDonald's hamburgers have ever in fact been sold, causing a complete collapse of consumer confidence in McDonald's products.
The ensuing catastrophic drop in sales is seen as almost certain to force the already-troubled company into bankruptcy.
This, in turn, will push the teetering American economy over the brink, which, finally, will complete the total devastation of the global economy, ending civilization as we know it, and forcing us all to live on beetles. "The people who know -- the sign-makers -- are really scared of 100GB", one expert said. "I don't know about you, but I'm digging up a copy of THE FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN INSECTS and heading for the hills.

Shaman,
I suspect that your observations fall on deaf ears in here, though, speaking without regard to content, I think your post was well-written. If one were to take a poll of the GBers in here, not to mention the worldwide SD audience outside the confines of this guestbook, I believe you'd find that the reason for our anticipation of the next release has more to do with the love of SD's music, and not because we're a bunch of spit-drooling groupies without lives. Do I care if Walter wears boxers or briefs? Hardly. Does anyone else in here care? I doubt it. Does liking SD make me cool? If only it could. The music is what draws us here, and comparing our enjoyment of SD to the fan reactions to Garbo and Valentino only illustrates your ignorance. Ignorance in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing; it can be corrected. But when one chooses to avoid the facts, while expounding his or her view as the only correct one, it is then that harmless ignorance crosses the line and becomes stupidity. You and those of your ilk, who would disparage this gathering place with your short-sighted commentary and pointless obscenity, are free to continue doing so at your discretion. Like dead-wood in the workplace, we'll work around you. But it appears y'all have...um...missed the boat.

I see only a few of you are left. This Dutchman does good work, but he is surpassed by Donald and Walter, who destroy the guestbook by their indolence and revolting self-pity. Fagen and Becker are the Greto Garbo of our time. Eventually no one will care that they want to be alone. Not even you. Thousands used to mass at the grave of Valentino. Who's there now?

An educated guess... They'll tour before the album is released.
Bones... I picked up the CPR disc and I hear nothing Dan in it. IMHO, the disc is TOTALLY devoid of swing, the essential Dan element. It's like drinking a light beer -- by the third one (track) you're still longing for a buzz.
I think I'm gonna scratch it and return it as defective. I can't keep it in the house even.

OOOooooo, Flying Dutchman, you're so mean, none of us can handle your slanderous insults(insert something extremely pretentious or something that tries way too hard to be witty). Yeah, you're just a little kid, duuuuhhhh, you should be wearing diapers(this is too funny, I'm just cracking myself up I'm so goddamn witty and cool because I'm an aging DanFan and I can be pretentious because I'm so much older and wiser than Dutchman(though I'm really not that funny anymore, or that interesting)). Uuuuhhh, Crying Sludgeman(another inane and stupid attempt at being overly witty) you're in the wrong guestbook or something, don't you know only old fogeys hang out in here? Maybe you should go to another guestbook for truly interesting folks. Flying Dutchman, will you please just leave us poor old folks alone? You're hurting our feelings. We're too old to be able to handle such awful and mean comments(even though they're probably true). We're just too fragile and we're attempting to be funny and witty by constantly guessing at the release date, but it's really not funny, just stale and boring now.(could we be a little more boring and go over the same topics some more and beat them to death a little more, please?) OOOOoooouch, Dutchman. You're hurting us.(can't think of anything else witty because I'm too old and dumb) Bored Phil says the Flying Dutchman's the only interesting thing happening here. All the rest can eat my hairy, peanuty shit-bars.

Despite repeated warnings from Dr. Hardgroove I strapped on the Extendo-Dan 2000 in order to establish the precise release date of TNO. I know tomorrrow morning I'll feel like a pair of bad sneakers but right now I'm still all giddy from the obligatory "time inversion decompression" and steaming like a hot pretzel on a cold day in Manhattan...
But before I pass out, here's the honest-to-god's extendo-truth:
1. Due to Donald's prolonged throat irritation the title is abruptly changed to "Two Against the Common Cold".2. Roberto Begnini shows up and wins something.
3. The crush at Tower Records in Grand Rapids, Michigan inspires Ozzy Osbourne to exclaim, "...now let's see them bite off a pigeon head..."
4. All of this takes place on 11/22/99.
5. The tour is sponsored by Riccola.

Hey All,
I originally dropped in just to read, not to write, but when I saw that there were guesses being made at the release date, I figured I just had to add one myself.
I am taking two. I like to have a back-up.
7/1, and 9/2
Both of these dates are significant to my life, so I will do my best to impose my will onto the record company so that the new one will come out on one of the two days.
In the meantime, enjoy the back catalogue.See Ya,

Why all the high and mightying about Elia Kazan getting a tribute for making movies? -- Joe Mcarthy was the Mack of his day. He manipulated the stupid and intimidated the weak. He got Kazan to rat out his former friends. So Kazan was a pussy and an asshole; they're not giving the boy a humanifuckingtarian award. Ty Cobb was a bigoted jerk his whole life and we still let him be remembered as a good baseball player (although he was no Josh Gibson.) -- Kazan did good work; it's probably the only thing that made him worth remembering. Let him have that. Many a great artist has been a sorry ass human being.

Stranger- It's because of people like you that McCarthy had a heyday. Even Ronald Reagan got most of his mileage from the fact that most Americans are too stupid to know the difference between party affiliation and mass slaughter. The folks in Hollywood never did a thing to pose a threat to the US government, and never should have been treated as such. I'm no communist myself, but I know that what Stalin and Mao did had nothing to do with Communism at all, and most Communists consider their actions atrocious and counterproductive to the idea of Communism. I'll bet this is just a little too much free thinking for you.

Well, I'm glad everybody missed me! I've been under deep DEEP cover on assignment from GIA (the Guestbook Intelligence Agency). My mission: to find Who Killed The Guestbook. I have become the mistress of disguise, overmatching even the Kinkster, and had Odyssean adventures. I coached Nick Nolte on how to scowl, and Roberto Benigni (as in benign) on his Greco-Roman mythology. I snuck Herm in a complete set of "I Dream Of Jeannie" tumblers (hint--look on the top shelf behind Maynard's dentures). I drank Edd under the table with retsina in an incrementally intimate club. And when Q shelled out the shekels for that sweatshirt, who do you think was in it? I hacked through clammy halls of bogus personae assholes who have no life and, to convince themselves they're still breathing, must lure innocent Guestbookians to the rocks with their snivelling whine. But I stuffed the near-victims' ears with wax from melted Steely LP's--except Clas, who's a little damaged from being tied too long to the mast. I scanned the Custerdome with fezo--and found not so much as a stud. I spied to see if the new Rose is a sew-on--thornless, or for real. I stanched the Scam's nostalgic tears. I had the President send Mu an autographed glossy. The piney woods, the Dude Ranch, the Eskimo bike, the nest of serpents, Hamlet's Mill--I've done them all, and found that the GB is not DEAD. It's DAN. These idiots are truly in the Wrong Guestbook. What's "wrong" with the GB is that it's populated with HUMAN BEINGS (excepting of course the assholes) with assorted nasty habits and varying tolerances for ambiguity and tedium. So come over here, Stranger, lie down, and let me put these paddles on your chest. When you come to, we'll talk politics.

I wanted to address the problems people have been having with the chat room. Here is what I've been able to conclude.
Parachat has recently changed the code they use to run these chat rooms. One of these changes affects the name you choose to use as your handle. If the name is already registered with another chat room owner/moderator, you cannot use it. This is why you might see a message that says "this user name requires a password" when you try to logon. All I can say is try a different one.
There seemed to be a period a few weeks back where the chat room simply wasn't functioning. I had problems loging in myself. However, over the last couple of days I haven't had any problems. I just logged in using the following handles as a test: Oleander, Fezo, StAl, DocKelley, DrMU, MinorWorld, etc. All worked. Names that are taken: StAlphonzo, Joker, Rudy, Lester, etc. The more common the name, the more likely it is taken. One thing to remember is the name cannot have spaces in it. That will cause the room to choke.
If you get the password error, try a different name. That's about all I can suggest. If something weird is happening to you, e-mail me with the exact error and I'll look into it. Thanks!
StAl

Stranger: I think the problem a lot of people had with Kazan was not a political one, it was that he sold out his former friends by naming them as members of the American Communist Party.
I don't think it's a black and white issue where one can be labelled as a communist (or as you said, one who is "sticking up for Stalin") just because he or she refuses to rat out friends. There's a lot to be said for personal loyality.
That being said, I think Nolte and the like were assholes for sitting on their hands Sunday night. It is possible to carry a grudge too long.

C'mon, ya mean only dem Commie Pinko types like your here Bill Clinton get ta separate der work from whaddya call dose personal life rapes?? I mean "Splendor Up Your Grass," now dat was a movie!! Edith!!!! Get me dat beer now, will ya?
fezo: didja miss me? been out of town on some business...couldn't arrange to see the Temple game from the Cameron Custerdome jumbotron, so I had to settle for personal video networking via frequency modulated telemetry using NTSC streaming patterns (uuhhhh...that's the TV, I mean)
Roy: I missed the Eric Clapton and D'Angelo rendition of Mayfield (can you believe that Curtis was on American Bandstand once doing Superfly?). That reminds me of one of the few Phil Collins #s I dig, "I Wish it Would Rain Down on Me" where Clapton tears it up. Philonius Phil built his house on his first solo song, a miraculous "stream of consciousness" In the Air Tonight. One of his remaining best with Genesis "Tonight Tonight" (he's best when he imitates the Gabriel yell - can the Dan beat PGs latest rumored to be released this year out of the blocks?) was used to sell out Bud or some macro brew. I guess Turn it On Again, Hold on My Heart, and Taking it All too Hard (or something liked that) are OK also...I digress - wasn't the "Boss" just as happy as sin to Be there??? He and every thing after Tunnel of Love makes me appreciate John Mellancamp more every day. Billy Joel sounded washed up doing Runaway, but Bonnie Raitt was strong as ever...BJ had half a good point though in that without Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry there would not only be "no white people in the HOF"...hell, there would be NOBODY in the HOF because there would BE no HOF...not too mention all the white exec. weasels who have exploited the music makers for years who made such a monstrosity possbile so suckers like me would tune in for an hour.

Nick Nolte probably is an arrogant prick, but Elia Kazan deserved to have that entire audience sit and fold its arms. True, this all happened over 40 years ago, but he has not expressed any regret about feeding into that insanity, and to me that means he's not sorry about a thing. Yeah, politics suck, but as long as we have mass media, the two shall forever intertwine. If politics and show business didn't mix, Reagan and Clinton would never have made it to the White House.

Yeah, McCartney's daughter, (what's her name?), was wearing a shirt with the phrade, "It's About Fucking Time", written on the front, and the date of the awards ceremony on the back. Apparently, the little girl felt that her daddy was not getting the recognition that she felt he deserved.
Yeah, poor Paul. The idea of him being such an overlooked and underappreciated musician keeps me up many a night.
In an age when many people in the public eye voice their sentiments toward what they consider unjust, it's really sad to see such a display of egotistical nepotism. It would be one thing if the daughters of Del Shannon or Charles Brown wore the shirt, but Paul McCartney? If anything, he's overappreciated, and overplayed, IMO. He certainly does not need members of his own family to rally to his defense when it comes to matters of public recognition.
Unless I've got this all wrong, and she's really a huge Billy Joel fan, and that's what the message was all about.
Hmmm, maybe I should rethink this.Later,

Hey All-
Feels so good to check in once in a while and fan the air in here. The atmosphere sure does get stuffy at times...
Fezo- Couldn't agree with you more regarding the HOF show. But I have a question... What was the message splashed across the perky breasts of Paul's daughter? A political/social statement/rant? I feel somewhat cheated by VH1 not allowing us to judge for ourselves what's agreeable or in poor taste at induction ceremonies. Can it be worse than some of the shit that wins Grammies each year? Wouldn't a t-shirt message be construed as "free speech"? Would the Oscars/Grammies/Tonys censure their recipients? Maybe edit out their acceptance speeches and/or on-stage antics they deem inappropriate for prime-time television broadcasts? Not at the risk of them boycotting the next year's event! Hmmm... Come to think of it, censuring some of those moron's speeches and behavior doesn't sound like a bad idea...Dan moment of the day- Today at noon Scott Muni is on 104.3 FM (NY)with a (believe it or not) Steely Dan special! I can't listen (no radio here in the office!) but maybe someone else can a give us a review.

DUTCHMAN: i'd like to think that (since keeping relatively silent is not usually considered "acting like they are too good for the human race") there's got to be another reason that might account for the lack of SD presence on the R&R HOF.....you always see tons of memorabilia in the booths of the inducted at that place -
perhaps if Steely Dan had more than ticket stubs and T-shirts to collect, Cleveland would consider inducting them.....in this materialistic industry, they just wouldn't be a big draw without some old '70's touring gear (which is nonexistent in this case).....maybe if they put that mustard-stained tape in there....perhaps if they dug up what's left of Marotta -

The Hall of Fame's propensity for "overlooking" Steely Dan certainly commands some respect. After all, it is the "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame, not the "Processed, Polished, and Overproduced Clapdrap" Hall of Fame. If Becker and Fagen want to be inducted, they might want to take some tips from those who have been successful and maybe try making some good rock and roll albums, starting this year (maybe). Since they sold pretty well at one time, though, something tells me that the gruesome twosome would probably be inducted if they would quit acting like they are too good for the human race.

As much as I'm not interested in Jan the Weiner and his magazine, and in the R&R Hall of Fame and their mysterious ability to overlook Steely Dan, I must say this: The Curtis Mayfield number "I've Been Trying" as done by Eric Clapton and D'Angelo at the induction ceremony was beyond excellent. The best vocal I've ever heard EC do. The taped speech by Curtis was moving too; you youngsters may not understand my getting choked up over it but you'll be old and mushy some day.

Katy- Did you get the songbook by the Hal Leonard publishing company? That's the one which has major flaws on Aja and Royal Scam, moreso on Aja. Gaucho is pretty much right on. If you have that one, check the print on Scam and Aja compared to the print of the other albums- clearly, the songbook was a compilation of the efforts of more than one person. I'll bet this was the book that is referred to on the liner notes of Alive in America when it speaks of a songbook Don and Walt relied on which had many wrong chords. Anyway, good luck with that. I've been learning the chords from the Gaucho songs, and the songbook has saved me a lot of time compared to what I would have had to do if I learned it all by ear.

Howdy, DanFanGangLand!!!
Y'all are kinda sorta hilarious, and eccentric to boot!! Here we have the perfect opportunity to help with getting Paul Griffin a liver transplant, and people bitch, moan, and raise Hell about whether or not "Q" wants to spend a lot of money collecting SD stuff. Well, I enjoy collecting the memorabilia myself - so let him spend his money the way he wants to - I spend mine the way I want to, don't y'all??
As to the pettiness about the dialogue regarding the so-called "pissing contest" between the males of the GB, I think I can throw a "cow chip" farther than most anyone in here, provided the fire ants don't get to me first.
Perhaps, "Jack Of Speed" or "The Second Arrangement" might be on the "Two Against Nature" one, if and when it ever comes out. Regardless, it will be good, despite those anonymous "posters" who continually degrade the "Dynamic Duo" and their musical genius we all know and love to listen to most of the time!
Fortunately, I was able to see Steely Dan in Oklahoma City in August, 1974, front row center section at the Civic Center Music Hall, a venue with excellent acoustics, which holds about 2,400 people. Damn GREAT then, and since rejuvenating, better yet. Perhaps Donald and Walter could take a tax write off, and donate the profits of an Oklahoma City concert for the bombing memorial---Hell, who knows, Schwinn, maybe they might come back to Oklahoma.
Now it really doesn't matter to me how large I would like the audience at the next tour, primarily my preference is for the acoustic quality, anyway -- not the damn price of the tickets. Hell, most of you probably bet that on your state lotto every month, pay your former spouse alimony, drink it up at the local bar, and so forth!
So much for my two cents worth! And, "KatyDanFan", could I play the part in your screenplay of "Gaucho Amigo" as the "Stud-That-Match-Your-Eyes" kinda character, or is he killed off at the end of the book?? Please advise, as it would be difficult to be killed off and re-emerge in a sequel.
Please advise and Saludos, Amigos!!

BigFan, sounds like you had a great time at your concert, that's so neat!
Mainly posting to alert anyone near Philadelphia, there's a jazzfest going on one hour from there, in my city, beginning tomorrow and lasting through next Sunday. It's the 9th annual jazzfest in our area, and it seems to get bigger each year! Sorry I didn't say this sooner, but I had no idea there was a web page for you to go see! For more info, go to:

Original Lester: Heard you got mail! :) I now have the songbook, Complete to Aja, as well as Time Out of Mind and SteelyDanDeluxe: Royal Scam/Aja. I'm soooo happy....
Am serious about Gaucho Amigo.....it's got to be a movie, I'm compelled, so, after I finish writing it and it gets produced, there will be a special preview for the GBers (anyway, those who know how to behave themselves in a movie theatre). Come to think of it, anyone interested in auditioning for a part, let me know and I'll write you into the script!
ES, yes you Have to help me write this. Don't you want to be on stage with me for the Oscar? As everyone here knows, after the acceptance speech, I would tell the whole movie industry that you're the Best! Then I would tell them all about the GBers and what characters they are!

I am sick and tired of all these people my age (16+) not knowing who SD is and what they stand for. Personally I would like to see them all forced to listen to walt and don until their ears start bleeding, then they'll know what good music is. Steely Dan is a mecca for intellegent people looking for good music. I myself own all the 70's albums and some before that along with the nightfly kamakiraid and 11 tracks of whack. That's all I listen to. Away while I was in New Orleans I kept expecting ton see becker or fagen pop out of Pat O'brians singing sign in stranger but all I heard was another bar on Burbon playing deacon blues over and over and I thought to myself Damn, they know good music.

Eagles eye Y2K concert
HOLLYWOOD -- The Eagles may be soaring on New Year's Eve, along with their ticket prices.
The '70s stadium rockers are negotiating a concert to usher in the New Year at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, with the top ticket price expected to hit $1,500, according to Variety.
Show details are expected to be confirmed next month.
The band could make $10 million for the one-night stand at the 20,000-seat arena, which is still under construction, but is set to open in October.
The show would cap the arena's three-month grand-opening period, which will have several concerts in addition to the Lakers and Clippers basketball and Kings hockey games.
After a bitter break-up following the release of their 1979 album The Long Run, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Don Felder and Timothy B. Schmit launched the successful Hell Freezes Over reunion tour in 1995, which netted more than $1.2 million per night.
Several acts are raising their ticket prices to abnormal heights for rumoured shows to cash in on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to party like it's 1999.
Insiders said Barbra Streisand's show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is expected to have a top price of more than $2,500, and Jimmy Buffett's New Year's Eve show at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles is expected to cost $1,400 for top price.

If I want to hear more Steely Dan, I'll just spend countless hours at the grocery store, where I can hear about anything of theirs on Muzak- not that their material needs a major adjustment for Muzak. As if that wasn't bad enough, they turn up on just about every radio format in the world. Die Steely, die!!!

Checked out the Chuck Rainey site- either Don and Walt play with a lot of short people or Rainey is a very large man. Anyway, I thought of emailing Chuck, but then realized it would just turn out to be like the Chris Farley Show...."You remember when you played with Steely Dan?....That was awesome." I really know nothing else about Rainey, so I opted not to insult him.
Stranger: What's your preoccupation with shit and craps?
What do you all think they're going to play on the tour? I figure they'll really push the new one, reducing the number of classics we'll hear. On the 93 tour, they played a lot of the 11 Tracks and Kamakiriad stuff, even IGY and Green Flower St, and then they played more old Dan in 96, along with some new Dan. I would like to hear some other 70's stuff that they haven't tried yet, but I'm not sure they'll have the time to perfect them.

Does anyone know anywhere I could locate a copy of the 1974 movie "Son of Dracula" starring Ringo Starr? It's out of print and very hard to find. Thanks.
P.S. I'd get a hundred or more bucks together if I could listen to the Dan in a small, personable venue and not an arena. And I ain't rich.

Well, what do you know, the wife surprised me tonight with two tickets to see Spyro Gyra tickets this Friday at the Warner Theater in Torrington, CT. Talk about a small venue, this is a 500 seat refurbished movie theater from the grand times of movie theaters - this is big for a small town like Torrington. We last saw them there in 1988, which was BK (before kids). I guess I'll have to take her now - and make sure I get us good seats to SD later this year. Since we are officially baby boomers, this would be one of our two to three concerts per year. SD, Stones, Spyro Gyra, yeah that's the ticket for us 40 something year olds.

Hi to everybody!
Even the Mad Swede! Hej! I have one word for you: kaffe
I'm wondering why don't Don & Walt tour at smaller venues?
Is it just that they refuse to think outside of the box?
Do smaller venues take in less dough?
They think only has-beens play smaller venues?
Too much trouble finding these places?
Do smaller places have too many stupid rules?
Fear of intimacy?I can't figure these guys out. That's OK, I like it that way.

I don't think any of us really thought the CD would come out "on time" if "on time" was June 8. Hell, I even picked a date closer to July 1 than June 1. I am normally pretty pessimistic, however I am am enthused that Reprise (Giant) is even listing a release date - although I am discouraged that they did not list a title. Well I will be watching and waiting. I do believe they will get something out this summer, followed by a tour this fall.Question though - if a new CD does come out this year - are you going to buy it?

That is a wonderful place to see a show. Last one I saw there was Pearl Jam when they were just wee lads.

Dug: That may be true.. But outdoor venues are better than indoor arenas.. Aren't they?
There is a way to enhance sound in any venue which has been around for decades, but is totally squashed by both promoters & record companies: FM Sound Enhancement..
Works like this.. The sound comes through the regular PA as usual, but there is also a board feed to a little FM transmitter which broadcasts the sound on a low-power FM carrier.. Concert-goers can bring an FM radio, with or without headphones, and Voila! Better sound quality than you can get with PA alone..
But the obvious problems of people hearing the show for free, bootleg taping, etc. are too formidable..

re: Oleander and "incremental intimacy"
I think the difference in intimacy between your basic 15,000 person shed and a 400 seat club is a bit more than incremental.
In a perfect world, the acts could do a couple tours. A relatively low priced shed/arena tour, then a high ticket smaller club tour.
Just imagine a live Steely Dan CD with the tinkling of cocktail glasses in the background...

A Big AMEN about those large arenas.. The sound is Horrible..
And this band is more acoustically sensitive than anything short of true Big Bands or Symphony Orchestras.. The venues should reflect that.. Especially if people have to pay those big prices..
Best solution is to book as many outdoor venues as possible.. Places like The Gorge, Red Rocks, etc. have marvelous acoustics, are well equipped, comfortable, Asthetically Beautiful, & the promoters can pack 'em in.. (Hey, I want the musicians to be Well Paid..).. But that means they'd better be ready to tour in the summer.. Dream On...
But it reallly Sux to endure shitty sound in basketball arenas..
It's like fucking in a dumpster..
I heard Paul Allen (Microsoft, Trailblazers, Seahawks..) is considering building a chain of 20,000 seat outdoor venues across the country.. too late for this year, but a great idea, from a guy who can afford it..

Besides Wang Center(formerly The Music Hall-which used to rock!)
you have the Orpheum.
Yes, quality has its sacrifices but i don't think there would only be "an incremental increase in intimacy"(or experience or acoustics)- ask the guys in the upper tiers at the arena's etc. Plus it would be nice not to have a tin roof and cement everywhere ala sheds.Why not shell out $100-200/seat to get the real thing ? People pay that much to see anything from baseball(for God's sake) to
symphonies, to just about anything these days when you add up the
cost of the obligatory hats and hooters. Remember these guys are'nt going to be doing this that much longer - I mean how many times has the average Dan fan even seen the band ? So you fork out some bucks - you get what you pay for - We Americans will never figure that out !!Remember - rock/poprock/jazz-fusion is the classical music of our generation - look what trouble the oldsters have gone to to preserve and disseminate their brand of Art - we should hold ours with the same reverence -do you hang a Van Gogh in bad light ? No ! you create a museum costing millions too house it and maximize the experience - not minimize the experience ala sheds and arenas

BTW, my e is oleander1@earthlink.net, or scalping@sucks.com.

LTNF--A very nice GB lurker sent me the url of Oleander the band. I'll check 'em out.
Hoops!--wow! great to see you.
Shaman--"Never" is taken. "When hell freezes over" and "fageddaboudit" are too closely synonymous with it and will not be accepted in the pool.

I have nightmares of seeing them at the Fleet, even though it's much better than the old Garden, it's still an arena. And yeah, no one goes to Worcester anymore except for those interested in the monster truck shows.
Q: In this part of town, the music halls are old and falling apart (with the exception of the Wang Center)and reserved only for the Pops and Symphony concerts. For those of us living in New England, our best bet would still be Great Woods if it happens in early September, and depending on where you sit, it's really not bad. I got great seats in '96 and very poor ones for the R&SR. We sat in the last row before the lawn. I was very disappointed.

They should do music halls and just raise prices and do multiple shows where demand facilitates. The Dan are short-changing themseves playing the arena,etc. circuit. They should go with the acoustics and moe "studio" like environment that is their signiture. Great Woods and other sheds like it are notroiusly horrible(ie West Palm Bch) and are an affront - an Art Crime , if you will.

I've notice this guestbook has been very quiet the last few days. What's going on?
El Supremo: I've been dealing with a family emergency the last week or so and have a lot of catching up to do. Who is Thomas Jefferson Kaye? What kind of music does he play and what do you think of it? I mean does it have the SD flavor? I know I've asked a lot of questions, but if D&W are on it, then I'm curious.
Big Fan: Where did you find out that the concert schedule won't start until September? It does make a lot of sense for what we know about the new album date. I'm thinking along the same lines as you are. In Mass. Great Woods has concerts up until mid September and then it gets too cold for outside events. I'm thinking more along the lines of the Fleet Center of the Worcester Centrum. They pack about 13-15,000 people in an arena setting, not as cozy as the theatre setting of Great Woods.
Looks like a crappy year for concerts. I've just been invited to see the Doobie Bros./Chicago this summer in Boston. They were originally going to play at Great Woods and have now changed it to Harbor Lights which is off the ocean and across from the airport. So, we're dealing with cold ocean breezes, ocean spray and planes landing and taking off. Should be a good concert if anyone can hear any of it. I saw Howie Mandel there a few years ago and he had to shut up when the planes flew over him.
Ahem.....and by the way.....I already have my tickets for the Stones.

I have spoken to some of you about my concerns for this years concert schedule. It appears that it won't start until September and it also seems that there will be less cities, with more multiple night shows in the same place. Since many of the "sheds", at least in the northeast, close for the winter or at best have concerts but loose all of the outside seating making for a much smaller venue - I am concered that either they won't come here or that ticket prices will be sky high (and possibly tough to get if the venues are smaller) Perhaps they will play at some of the indoor sporting arenas ala 1993, which are big, but not asthetically pleasing. Anyway, an article in the LA times talking about the same thing mentions SD touring:
http://www.latimes.com:80/CNS_DAYS/990314/t000000038.htmlIn about two weeks I'm thinking of trying to scalp a ticket to the Rolling Stones at the Hartford Civic Center. This is the smallest venue the Stones are playing in this tour, but they are having two shows, The HCC was, I believe, the third or fourth largest venue SD has ever played - back in '93. If they would just let us know, I'd make some plans.
Whatever - you know I'll be there, yes I'll be there...

Hello, DanFanDom!
Just checking in to find out if there is anything "truly new" going on in here.
Just received my CD from Thomas Jefferson Kaye, ordered it from CD Now, and those DanFans wanting it, can still get this double album set remastered on CD. It is produced by Gary Katz, engineered by Roger "The Immortal" Nichols, has Becker actually playing bass on about six songs. Fagen plays keyboards, synthesizer, and backup vocals on several. "American Lovers" and "Jones" are two songs written by Becker and Fagen on the album.
Several of SD's session players appear like Rick Derringer, Victor Feldman, Clydie King, Venetta Fields, Michael Omartian, Shirley Matthews, and Jeff Baxter. Also, Richie Furay, Tim Schmit, and Dusty Springfield appear on several songs.
Enjoy & Cheers!!

SteveV,joKah,BFan: It could be a rough go. Fortunately, the 3 sisters: Andrea (vocals, tin whistle), Sharon (violin, background vocals); and Caroline Corr (drums, bodhran, background vocals) are real Irish lookers...brother Jim Corr plays guitar, accordion (Walter's favorite),and keyboards. They have 2 albums, with the last one featuring backup by The Chieftains. Even though it's base is traditional Irish folk, it's hard to recognize it as such. They have a nice sound with pretty good melodies and real nice harmonies - a bit like the newer Nashville stuff (especially the 1st album - Forgiven, Not Forgotten), except often with some R&B, dance, and pop overtones. I saw they've been compared to the plastic Wilson Phillips, but that's unfair - from what I've sampled. The Corrs definitely have a lot more meat. ...The BAD NEWS for them is that it's NOT the kind of stuff that will get folks pumped for a Stones concert. Start erecting the chicken wire fence (a la The Blues Bros.) now!

And I'll lay you even odds that Kevin Costner is negotiating for the rights to bring Joe's life to the silver screen as we speak. He's so daring and handsome--and he LOVES drip coffee makers--just like DiMaggio! I can't imagine a better man to bring all the triumphs and tragedies of Joe's life to larger than life technicolor.

Since there is no new SD info and we haven't had any new sexual instructions today, I hope you all don't mind a little hometown remenising.Did you know Glenn Ramsey, Norristown '75 or Tony Darden '76. I went to college and was in the same fraternity as Glenn and ran against TD but only ever saw the bottom of his cleats as he crossed the finish line, I believe he was state champion at least one year in the quarter. That was at the new high school, which always reminded me of a prison.
I remember that the Flyers TV coverage on the now defunct Ch 29 would start out with a rif from Jeff Beck and I really wasn't knowledgable about him then, other than it sounded so cool, but one spring day we are running at Norristown and they played it over the loud speakers at the track meet - that was far out back then, would have been in 1975.
I went to Upper Moreland and have been unable to find a decent cheese steak since then. Other Norristown alumni include I believe Geno Auriema coach of UCONN's women's bball team and LA Dodger coach Tony Lasorda.

Pierced,
In regards to the opossum comment I will say that you do seem to have an infatuation with having the visceral parts of the body in close proximity to you..eh emm especially the ass end of them. I did think you would enjoy that, and take heart in knowing that that little gift of obsession was one from your own yard..Im never far away. (Except when I go home)
I did however want to tell you that the man is not bald, and that he was looking ever so good this afternoon, maybe even good enough to turn on a freaky homo like yourself. He even smelled like the breath of the most beautiful firmaments and looked as a demigod does after crowning his bride. His voice was more intiguing than even a Steeley Dan song..And I wanted to sit under a tree with him and listen for a whisper of wisdom...I am strong(haha) but even so, such beauty always precedes and makes credible the words of such a sultry mouth. For any man would seem crass in comparison. But I can only covet his affection..for his love is his sorrow. (Sad but true)
Thank you for the mountain comment by the way..I am a goat..but you are the man which shall help me across the fence, which I know you girlie men simply adore. So I fear that I may have to begin stalking you full time since the *****slut wants me not..I know you need a stalker, let me be that person..Dont feel alonely...I am really needing someone to follow around now...I have many more gifts for you. I shall be known now only as The Cereal Stalker and not as more former..I must go...I have goat-meal to eat.

Killer's Kiss
The Killing
Paths of Glory
Spartacus
Lolita
Dr. Strangelove
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining
Full Metal Jacketand the upcoming Eyes Wide Shut (w/ Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman)scheduled for release July 16th.
I really feel terrible, but I'm glad that I can still look forward to seeing another Kubrick film and another Dan album this summer.m.e.

You're supposed to be a Dan-fan but you believe everything you hear. Don't go for the obvious, read between the lines. You'll find great stuff there.
Okay mr SHOE or whatever your name is, you seem to be the most interesting person around here for the moment. How are you doing? Welcome to the GuestBook...
...oh, sorry for that, my wife served coffee here, she wanted a kiss for that effort.
Where were we? Oh yes mr Shoeshine, it's no use to insult people on this GBook anymore, it's been done thousands of times and everybody got an ignorebutton on their shoulders nowdays. Sorry about that old chap but that's just the way it is.

i was thinking the same thing. this guestbook is being circled by buzzards. how much more is there to say about steely dan? Since gaucho in 1980 we've had 2 fagen releases, a becker and a live album of mostly old stuff.so people start writing about their personal lives, thinking we all share important values so maybe we can do something with that. but then then nerdy psychopaths with bad skin hurl insults at them so everybody clams up. i won't even tell anyone around here what i do for a living. actually, what the hell, i'll reveal it for the first time. i breed fighting caterpillars. anyway, as jimmy carter said before he was unseated by a monkey's uncle, there's a malaise on this guestbook.

Clas- C'mon, dude. Your expression of discontent is certainly welcome and well understood. I am afraid the guestbook is where it is because most of us have little if no inside connections to the Dan, and we are all growing just a bit impatient for a new release and tour. And we don't even know if any of that is really going to happen this year anyway. So of course most of us have nothing new to talk about. But do you have to double-post your angst, you ballsack?
I recognize Collins' mastery on drums- which has nothing to do with the previous parallel with Stevie Wonder, as songwriting was the basis for the comparison. Collins did some phenomenal work on Gabriel's third self-titled album, and I assume the August 1985 reference was to Live Aid, which I believe took place in July 1985, and where Collins indeed rocked in Bonham's place. I am not aware of a Brand X, but I would be most interested to hear if Collins was actually writing material which was not necessarily targeted at the adult contemporary audience. I would not be surprised at all if he was still contributing some quality drumming to anybody, because he's always been one of the best at that- even better than Stevie.
And yes, Stevie can play drums, too.

Today's Dan Moment:
As I pulled up to the grocery store in a hurry to get in and out fast, "Any Major Dude" came on the radio and since I haven't listened to it in a while, I was compelled to sit there in my vehicle enraptured and captured until the song was through. Thankfully, no long lines in the store later.Original Lester:
Songs in the Key of Life rules. Heard Stevie played the Superbowl halftime. Anyone see it? (I didn't.)Katy and Geena:
I'm still around, gals, caught up on posts now. Been busy !Mad Dog:
Don't know why you find the idea of the Dan's music as the "soundtrack" of a life so vaguely annoying. Perhaps it is gushing but still accurate for some. I find each album has the ability to take me back, while listening, to where I was in life mentally and emotionally at the time when I bought them and listened over and over again. As is when movie soundtrack songs are identified with certain scenes. Doesn't happen every time I listen but the potential for tripping down memory lane is always lurking.Schwinn: I love Abacab too. Great songs Phil sings: Through These Walls, Me and Sarah Jane. If Phil could lose that Paul McCartney sap factor and stay on the edge, he'd still be great.

With all due respect, dude, mentioning Phil Collins in the same breath as Stevie is an insult- to Stevie and to humanity at large. Collins obviously has made a career out of making catchy tunes, but stopped making good songs after about 1983. Since then he his given us an unbearable plethora of pure shit. As bad as Stevie ever got, he has never put out anything as bad as Dance Into the Light or Another Day in Paradise. Conversely, Phil never did anything in the league of Stevie's mastery in the 70's. Not even close. Just because Stevie's work has always been catchy does not automatically make it cheesy like Phil Collins. Collins was at his best with Genesis on And Then There Were Three (1977) and Duke (1980). Any Steely Dan fan should know that catchiness doesn't necessarily lessen the quality of a song. If SD songs weren't catchy, we wouldn't even have a guestbook. In fact, we may never have heard of Fagen and Becker. As far as Stevie goes, I have actually been surprised that so many of the GBers knew his truly good work, as even our skeptic seems to. I expected that most of the responses would be a multitude of mockery of Stevie's performance in the 80's. Fine if you hated Part Time Lover (which sucked), but don't categorize him with Collins, who left Genesis because Banks and Rutherford weren't cheesy enough for his commercial ass. Now that's gettin' pretty damn cheesy!

I put Stevie Wonder and Phil Collins in the same category. You know why? Because they both write songs with these incredible catchy melodies that not only attain commercial success, but also are suitable for belting out amidst the ejaculations of my shower head. And while I have my favorites of both (Another Star; Like China), neither artist has achieved the connection to my warped yet incredibly twisted mind, as SD has. I've heard several of you mention that SD is the "soundtrack of your life", and while that statement sounds almost like gushing and vaguely annoys me for reasons I can't quite get my arms around, I must confess that I, too, hear them in my head most of the time - to be sure, not a tough confession in this GB, surrounded (mostly) by those who share my enjoyment of The Dan. And with all due respect to both Stevie and Phil, there is really no comparing them to SD, who is coming from a completely different place.

Much to my dismay, it was really "Deja Vu" by those rapmasters we all love to hate, Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz. 5 seconds into the intro, I broke out my torch style singing voice and as loud as I could began singing the lyrics to Black Cow while the rappers sang in MY background. An amazing thought soon crossed my mind, this was definitely do-able, I was superb! I nearly drowned out Tariq & Gunz. Their faint background blabbering made them sound insignificant in comparison to my sultry, soulful voice. This is a fucking hit! I love what not smoking cigarettes can do for your vocal chords. Lauryn Hill, please step aside girlfriend, it's my turn now.
Do you think D&W will go for it?

Yeah, I think Dr. Shoe is VERY funny. I would rather listen to his black jokes then have to listen to Clas talk about Pompe. God, I remember when this GB first started. When someone would use a four letter word, Saint Al would come right on say how this terrible person should stop useing these terrible words. When he finally found out he was acting more stupid then the poster who used those words, he stoped trying to controll everybody. St Al, where are you now? All of these pansy asses need you! Steely Dan fans? Please, give me a break!

Oleander - Damn right Dusty could belt out the tunes. And for me, a twelve year old when "Wishin and Hopin" came out in the mid '60's, it may have been responsible for kick starting my my love for sultry, husky voiced songstresses. Royal Scam - I didn't care for the other two, but "fuckful" has great potential as a mainistream word. Your interpretation on "Countermoon" is a worthy one. The image it conjures up in me is less sexual. I picture being with someone who can't eliminate the aura, presence, the influence of a former lover, and unable to move on in another relationship, just when it seems that the walls are coming down and intimacy will follow. That's the beauty of art, regardless of the media - sculpture, painting, music - It's subjective, which is not usually encouraged in society.

I have a book titled "Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy," which is full of oft-mistaken lines from classic songs. The author actually got some of the content from people who sent in words or lines they misunderstood. Anyway, Hey 19 was featured, and the line below was "where we go/ the pine cones run in and/ make tonight a wonderful thing." When I was a kid, I thought the Peg chorus said "Then you shine of Star Wars, you'll be the prom queen, it's your very foreign movie." I'm not kidding. By the way, never disrespect the long instrumental fade from On the Dunes. Definitely good post-gasm music.
The problem with Dr Shoe is not so much that he writes racist crap, but that he clearly has no concept that it is racist crap. I'm definitely a 1st amendment guy and not a pc guy, and I believe that ethnic jokes can be funny sometimes (although not often). But people should have at least a minimal level of sense about these things. Shoe's jokes are probably on the level of Fuzzy Zoeller, another guy who probably meant no real harm, but made some very senseless and hurtful remarks anyway. Stevie Wonder never did or said anything in his life to be made to sound like Al Jolson. But that's not the point- after all, this is only a damn guestbook which Stevie will never read anyway. The point is that somebody thinks it's funny and perfectly alright to write such garbage. Probably the only truly offensive thing that I've ever read on this guestbook.

Regarding Turn That HBOA: The first song on Can't Buy a Thrill ends with the word Again and is about repeat offenders, likewise the last song on the album: So my guess is that it's prison food that ain't so good no more. Plus the mention of stockinged faces and 'the plan' would imply criminal activity.

Ole: Thanks for the warning. I've done a lot of work on Star Wars related and defense satellite propulsion systems - I don't know if that would have been a good thing - certainly a topic of conversation.
If anyone hears of "Skunk" playing elsewhere, please let us know.
My first dates for the release were June 20 or 21 - because of the relation to the summer solstace. However, it looks like record companies only release on certain days, June 8 being one of them. Since that is taken, I choose... you Pikachu - sorry 8 year old in house - June 29, 1999. This would make it a summer release.
I am making a list of supplies we are going to have on hand for the start of Y2K, basics like champaigne, batteries, dried and canned foods, bottled water, gasoline for the generator, 1000 rounds of 12GA buckshot, cash, gold bullion, oil and propane tanks filled, hard copies of bank account statements, matches, candles, flashlights, cases of beer, and Steely Dan related CD's - think I'll go listen to New Frontier again. Come and visit anytime after the new year - call first, if the phones are working, otherwise I will send you the secrect password.

Stranger--You are a mensch among menschen.
Ol' Les--The horns in "Sir Duke" are some of the best sounds that have ever licked my ear. And "Creepin'" has always made me feel things that are not suitable for a family guestbook.
OMIO--I saw Stevie live twice--the first was in Ann Arbor in (help me now) '69 or '70, at the Free John Sinclair marathon concert, at which he played "Fingertips." Second time at the Cow Palace in San Francisco; he was awarded the key to the city and Chaka Khan opened for him. Maaaan, I was a gone girl.
Big Fan--That is way too weird. If you go, don't use any substances beforehand; you might not make it out.
Mu, Roy--Well, maybe YOUR orgasm.... At least that's better than "for seven seconds it's like Christmas day." For the ladies? Try the last half or so of "On The Dunes." But ooh, save me some of that tantric yogurt!
Shoe et al.--Fuck you, racist snotbag.
Boredophyll--Yeah, the only thing more pitiable than we are is someone who expends so much energy & time belittling people whom he scorns. I mean, thanx for taking time from your rich and fuckful life to pay us so much unsolicited attention. It's too bad, too, because you already showed that you can write, and well, if you want to.

Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em 'til they run for cover

You know my reputation for playing
a good clean game
Oh Michael, oh, Jesus, I'll keep my

Once everbody found out how great Steely Dan was, they were the one's that had control of the record company. I mean after all, what other band at that time could sell more records by not touring? Once they got control (Aja) they put em' out when they felt like it ...and that's a long fucking time! I doubt June 8th will be a party day.

HF: On the surface, I would have to agree with you. However with previous SD releases, they were cranking out an album almost every year for 7 years, plus the pressure of the road for half of that time. The new CD has been in the works since before the ’96 tour, so there has not been the pressure that was present during the ‘70’s. So I hope you will not mind if we remain cautiously optimistic that the CD will be released in June.
Does anyone plan on maybe attending the "Fun Raiser" at the Irish Times on March 4. I would love to hear about it. A chance for the west coast Guestbook regulars to see something new and different. Hmm, maybe I can convince my boss that one of our suppliers in CA needs to be surveyed tomorrow. Round Trip to LA at the last minute with guaranteed cancellation shouldn’t be more than about a grand.

Thanks to all for the responses. And yes, Mu, you are pretty fly for a white guy. Send One Your Love is one of the most beautiful songs ever. Sir Duke, albeit a hit single, is marvellous. Power Flower, Village Ghetto Land, If It's Magic, Too High, Golden Lady, Blame it on the Sun, Creepin', Please Don't Go ("don't leave Steve....), Bird of Beauty. Stevie was the musical guest on SNL in '84, I believe, and he played Overjoyed- just himself and a piano. I would love to have this on video, because it moved me to tears when I saw the rerun a few years ago. Anyway, I'll stop with the Stevie stuff now.
Currently listening to Memphis Blues Again, which my friend burned onto a CD from cassette. Life is sometimes good.

DUHanny Squeal- You know, ordinarily I'd accept your offer to watch me "try on my riding crop"- you shit for brains lump of cow scrapple. A riding crop is a leather mini-whip used to goad a horse into submission, not an article to be worn on the body. I suspect you may have come into contact with one before: think back, Oedipus- remember when Mum used to tan your supple young hide? She may have very well utilized such a tool for the job (right before she utilized your tool-hehe).

It looks like several of you will be partying in New Orleans pretty soon! I hope you take a short break between hurricanes to think of those of us who won't be able to join in the fun. There is ONE way for everyone to feel like they were there, though.
Check out this link:

It is a live, online camera which takes pictures of Bourbon St. every 20 seconds. If those of you who make it could take a few minutes to pause on this particular street corner(in full DanFan regalia of course!) not only will the rest of us get to see what fun we're missing, but so will the entire world! It is only archived back 24 hours, so be sure to let us know when to look for you.Steely Danielle: I agree that cocaine is the most likely source of the "razor boy" reference, but I don't think it is limited to just that. The Razor Boy is the piper you have to pay after you've danced, regardless of what the dance was: drugs, sex, lies, etc.

Chlorophyll,
Your post was astoundingly witty! Haha! I'm still laughing my ass off. I would like to submit this raw talent of yours for the Creative Writing Award. You are a veritable genius, an artisan of intellect. Your intelligence will never compare to any one else who writes here. I cannot fathom articulating such emotion as you have displayed on a computer keyboard with so much angst and fervor, and you get laid too! Watch out the bug don't bitecha! Because this world would not be the same without such a flawless human being as yourself. I hope no one was standing behind you with a gun pointed to your head forcing you to look at this page. But then how else would you have conceived such a powerful work of essay and refinement? Please, don't get your knickers in a twist just yet, allow me to continue paying homage to you. You also possess a keen wisdom as to the demographics of those of us who also post here. My apologies in advance for asking such an inane question, but is there a possibility that you may have x-ray vision? Oh, words cannot express how much I envy you.
I could have been like you, but instead I wasted my life away and now I'm lonely, old and boring. I know you'll never be my age, you are immortal son. I bide my time just sitting in front of my computer yankin' my wankie while reading the sultry, steamy, erotic writings which are often posted here. I've even learned to type with one finger! My dear lad, don't waste your time here, you should be sowing your seeds, climbing the tallest mountains, letting your creative juices spill from your youthful, yet resounding lungs, shouting to the world your perfectly formed innermost thoughts and opinions.
Well, son, I must bid you a fond adieu, Dr. K (as we know him in our circle) will soon be here to put me out of my misery. But, before you walk out the door, please take the cheese with you, it goes well with your whine.

My, my, some pent up frustrations in need of recognition here! Seems to me that some misconstrue the opportunity to meet and converse in a new(-ish) and different medium, somehow expecting great revelation rather than banality. The fact that so many people here are both Dan fans and Stevie Wonder fans is not a banality to me - Key of Life is one of the great music pieces, in any form, style, ever. Small pleasures, sure, but then I can also scroll past the conversation that doesn't interest me. Sometimes getting a life means you have to move on past the Guestbooks of this world, and those proud to share such a loose but genuine form of friendship: sometimes banal and, yes, sometimes touching and deep, but usually somewhere in between.
Off to read The Prophet and Jonathan Livingstone Seagull... (just three, right Clas?)

Has anyone here heard of originality? What about renaming this guestbook the Steely Dan Banality page? It would be more fitting for this group of lonesome, boring cyberfreaks. Everyone that posts here seems to think he/she is about to win the Creative Writer's Award of the Year. Pretention and familiarity seem to be the only two things one can rely on here. It's sickening to me to see such a bunch of jerkoffs so listlessly expressing and reexpressing these futile perspectives year after year. Seems like a bunch of old esoteric hippie day-glo freeks wishing for youth and somehow rediscovering it through this worthless guestbook. No one seems to want to take a chance. Everyone seems comfortably bored here. Reading posts in this guestbook is the equivalent of taking a sleeping pill. I can hear each and everyone of you snoring in tandem at this moment as you think of your next boring post. You probably work at it too. You might even spend up to three days writing one more boring post, just so everyone else who posts here will think you're really cool for writing such creative stuff. But it's not really that creative or that interesting. Sorry, just had to express my opinion. It'll be fun to see what kind of boring responses or lack of responses you dullards come up with in response to this post. I think you should all just give up on this page and commit suicide, just put yourselves out or your own collective misery. I'll even help you. You can even call me Jim Jones. How does it feel to be so pretentious and stupid? Hey, I might seem cynical, but at least I'm getting laid. That's more than any of you jerk-offs can say for yourselves. And I'm enjoying this cathartic ramble. Well, happy fucking posting to this sinking ship of fools, this mindlessly bantering masturbation of a guestbook. Hope you people get a life someday. Blah, blah, blah blah...you guys know how it goes, blah blah fucking blah...

listening days (geez was cerebral or what!).....does anyone remember Jeff Beck's version of 'Superstition'??? very funky with Carmen Appice on drums....Stevie toured with the 'Stones on the 'Exile on Main St.' tour...too bad he never toured with the Steely guys......oh yeah ...this year marks the 25th Anniversary of the 'Pretzel Logic' tour- where in 5 bunch of pot smoking super-smart, sarcastic guys travel in a van driven by Jerome Aniton to sold out shows in places like Dogbreath, New Jersey..alongside other 'super'groups like Seals and Crofts' (gun please).....

Stevie Wonder: Even better live than he is on records.. Horn parts on Superstitious were rumored to have influenced SD on Aja.. He once said that both Superstitious & Too High sort of took control of him when he played, making it almost impossible to stop once he started playing them.. Wonderlove is a killer band even without Stevie.. They did back-up for Minnie Riperton..

Can't add too much more to the accolades for the ear candy and innovation that was Stevie Wonder. The single from "Secret life of Plants: "Send One (Her?) Your Love" is a hot, steamy jungle of melody and harmony. Isn't the harmonica solo as luscious as can be? Have to agree with Bob that parts of Hotter... can soar like All I Do right into Rocket Love. Cash In Your Face is a great one also. The original 4 songs for Musiquarium are no slouch either. Ribbon in the Sky is brilliant and is JUST this side of sappy. Music of My Mind, Talking Book (right now this is my rav because of the twists and turns in the melodies), Innervisions. Fulfillingness', Songs in the Key of Life, Hotter...quite a collection and the amazing thing is that for the most part the top 40 hits are arguably the weakest songs. There really are song good tunes (ex. Never in Your Sun) on In Square Circle and Characters but they get predictable often and that magic, that spark isn't there. Great production on "Overjoyed" though. I'm more enthusiastic about the Jungle Fever soundtrack, but it's inconsistent. Haven't heard Conversation Peace...heard it's pretty tame.

Bob, if you haven't heard Music of My Mind, which was released previous to Talking Book, you ought to get it. It actually sounds very similar to Talking Book, but perhaps a little less commercially aimed. Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You) is the high point.

STEVIE WONDER THREAD: Everything Stevie put forth from Talking Book to Hotter Than July, (with the exception of The Secret Life Of Plants, which was a movie soundtrack, not an official studio release) was MAGIC! Hotter Than July, is indeed the last great Stevie album (imho, of course), and the most overlooked. The transitions between Did I Hear You Say You Love Me, All I Do, Rocket Love, I Ain't Gonna Stand For It and As If You Read My Mind are brilliant. Few songs are as poignantly sad as Lately, without being sappy.

As the children tap away their lives on Cassiopeia St. down past Esplanade and Frenchmen, where those ex-college art students and gays live so capriciously and the landlords stare in the halls, brisk the music of pulled shades, a last man's cave in an eternity of swarm and explosion, nothing but the dripping sink, the empty bottle, euphoria, youth fenced in, stabbed and shaven, taught words propped up to die, and I wake up you're lying next to me, the dream is over.

She never named the cat, just called it Kitty for lack of creativity, and maybe just boredom truly.

Scientific Discovery:New element found: Administratium
----------
DateLine: 1 March, 1999The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by investigators at a major US research university. The element,
tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0.However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons,
75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons,
which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are
held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange
of meson-like particles called morons.It is also surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with.
According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally have occurred in less than a second.
Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three
years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes
a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons,
vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. In fact, an Administratium sample's mass actually
INCREASES over time, since with each reorganization some of the morons inevitably become neutrons, forming
new isotopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads
some scientists to speculate that perhaps Administratium is
spontaneously formed whenever morons reach a certain
quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is
referred to as "critical morass."

Clas, boy there, I'm looking at my fool omnidirectional keyboard here and I just can't figure it how you typed those funny characters there at the bottom of the page on that last one, must have been some pretty fast fingerwork, you crazy ole fuck. Anyway, I wanted to let you know I was testing out the waters in the Lido the other day, rubbed some of that tan-accelorator shit all over my body and came out red as a beet, went home, read a porn mag, went to sleep. And I dreamed about your crzy dog Pompe, and in this fucked up dream old Pompe was a city and this huge volcano Vesviuse or somethign exploded and covered up Pompe with dirt and ashes and shit. Man, I'm sorry to tell you, but your dog died in my dream, Clas, crispy as a piece of burnt toast. I'll buy one of your pictures, so I can light a match and watch it burn, nothing against your dog, but I just can only picutre him now burned up like a cigarette butt. NOw, don't get me wrong, I'm not an animal or dog hater or anything, I'm just funning you Clas, the proverbial jab in the ribs, if you know what I mean. Well, to everyone else, I'm just letting you crazy bastards know that I'll be there in The Big Easy crashing your stupid party, now don't take me wrong, that's just an expression, I'm actauly very excited about the Dan fest. Will Donny Fagen be there? Will ther be booths with Steely Dan artifacts and tidbits? Will there be drinks, yes, let there be drinks, let there be plenty of mary jane, and coca cola, and rocknroll, please make sure it's alltherr Oleander? I can't wait tomeet all you crazy fool bastards. I hope it doesn't rain.
