Roy--I love it when you spasm. Hilarious.
maj--That's a sight I have to see. Bet he's filling it out better these days.
fezo--my thoughts exactly about Sting. I like a lot of his songs, but that scene with Puff Daddy was mortifying, and I could not see Mr. F or Mr.B doing anything but curling their respective lips at the guy.
Hey--that's right, as in The Odyssey, when Telemachus took off to find his wayward dad: "Bright-eyed Athena sent them a stiff following wind/ rippling out of the west, ruffling over the wine-dark sea...."
Mock--so what did the cover look like?
Rose--Jeez, I have a SON older than you.
Razor--Mr. Becker: "Can I take you out to dinner at some quiet booth in the back of a bistro and ask you the bezillion questions I've been storing up for the last 25 years?" I think I'd be too shy to talk to Mr. Fagen.

But if I couldn't ask that I would ask the same question of both DF and WB still.
I would ask "What is your favorite song to perform?"
I've always wanted to know what piece of their music send chills down thier spines, like so many of there songs do to me...

Luckless P. Us Canadians don't get MTV - We get the Canadian equivalent, Much Music, which is pretty good in its own right. Pardon my paranoia, but I did not hear about MTV's new show you mentioned - Although it sound like a lot of fun. But your outline of questions was the kind of response I was hoping for from the Guest Bookers - Although it would be plenty tempting to blow the whole wad on news about the upcoming release.
Royal Scam - Great entry on your top 10 list - Our heroes are almost like Soothsayers - President Clinton missed all the hidden messages in their songs, and he wouldn't have had to play them backwards. Good job.

I would ask WB if he was interested in time-sharing his place in Hawaii. DF seems grumpy most of the time. I would be scared to ask him a question.
Perhaps I was too hard on Sting in my earlier post. He fronted what was arguably the last great pop band and when he went solo put out some original sounding stuff. Unfortunately, my impressions of him are colored by when I last saw him on t.v. Croaking out "Every Breath You Take" along with Puff Daddy on the MTV awards last year. Now that would be the first sign of the GB apocalypse . . . Donald and Walter rapping out Black Cow with Torq and Gunz at the Grammies next year.

Its funny that the question of "What question would you ask" has come up. I assume you have all heard about MTV's new show, "Fanatic", that whisks people away on no notice to visit with some person they greatly admire. And so of course I was fantasizing about MTV spiriting me off to meet the Great Ones in the studio. Naturally, this led me to thinking about what questions I would ask. I got things like:
"How long does it take you to pen the horn arrangements? And do you work them out on synthesizer first to determine which horn will do which line?"
"Lyric or melody first?" (I'm almost positive they would answer "melody").
"Your work has always struck me as 'photographic narrative'. How would you characterize the narrative structure?"
"Which musicians are you listening to these days? Does listening to others while you're in the process of putting together a new disk interfere with or enhance your creativity?"

Fezo,
Yes, I agree. "Consider Me Gone" is very Beckerish. But while Walter squibs around a "wind-up sea", Mr. Sumner "Works the Black Seam". Don't get me wrong, I have no preference between Sting and Walt. But please join me in wishing the Lord of Synchronicity a happy birthday. (Right there between John Lennon and Jackson Browne.) "Spirits in the Material World" is as good as it gets.

If you, as a loyal Steely Dan afficianado, were given the chance to ask a question to either Donald or Walter, who would you chose. Also, if you were told you may have the chance to ask a question to either one, but did not know who it would be, would you prepare the same question for both, or would you have one question you would only ask Donald, and one only for Walter.
I would be interested (maybe others on the GB) to see who you would ask, and what burning question that you would pose.

Can't stand: Gee, some tech talk at a site about guys (DF, WB. Roger Nichols, Eliot Scheiner etc.), technical geniuses who used innovative means to seek sonic perfection and really cool sounds which still sounded like music instead of pointless (unlike ELP, etc.). Plus through in a line or two about hardware every once
in a while. With that in mind - TOPIC: Fagen's use of the synthesizer over the years. Tawk amonst yourselves.JoeM: no surprise: Steve Jobs deliberately shared the USB and firewire technology so that hardware and software manufacturers (that's what the deal with the devil-Bill Gates was about) would be encouraged to actually develop peripherals and coding as PCs would also be using them, if they survive the millenium. Otherwise you do end up with the problem Ruby pointed out.

St Al: Been there -- literally. The Wegman's around here must use the same in-store music service as your King Sooper. I was in the cereal aisle around 8:00 p.m. when a store promotional announcement cut off the last few bars of Can You Feel the Love Tonight. When the promo ended, it was halfway through the first verse of Any World.
On that subject, not long ago I saw a story about the owners of Muzak keeping up with the times and moving away from "elevator music." As we know, you've seemingly got about even odds to hear something from SD or DF whenever you go shopping.
The songs are often album tracks, not even hit singles, so chances are the majority of the shoppers at any given time have never heard the song before. What gave Muzak the idea that songs of alienation would make them happy shoppers? (Or at least, not turn them off.)And since when are those chords and those lyrics considered easy listening?

LP: inspired choice for the inductee speech. Fiona would be great, especially if she wore her outfit from the "Criminal" video. That would probably guarantee DF's and WB's appearance.
Other potential jailbait presentees: Leona Rhymes, Brandy, Baby Spice (who qualifies on name alone). Course, odds are, none of the three has probably even heard of SD so they wouldn't work.
Here's a scary thought: How about Sting? (the singer, not the wrestler). Some of his solo stuff has that jazz mix to it, compare with, say, "Book of Liars".

Jumping back to the HOF thread...
If the presentation/introduction is made by a "current" artist, then I nominate Fiona Apple. She's got the multilayered sound, the dark lyrics, and jailbait look to really appeal to DF & WB.
Dave Matthews does have the jazz-inspired textures to compare to the Dan, but the overall feel doesn't match up. And I'm sure Don & Walt would rather have the award handed to them by Fiona than by a guy.
I'm just not up enough on current r&r to know of other possibilities.

Ruby--the Mac has plenty of software as long as you don't want to play "Head Implosion 3000". Even then you can buy Virtual PC and as long as your Mac is 133mhz or faster you can experience all the arcade excitement you want. Plus, you'll immmediately notice the "quality" feel of the Mac. It's one of those subjective things that I liken to the difference I perceived as a young boy between the toys manufactured by Mattel and Hasbro. The Mac is definitely a Mattel-like product. Also, the Mac has always been "windows" based and you'll never have to experience that pesky "Dos prompt" again.
Dr Mu: Yes, in a perfect world a Mac in every pot would alleviate the Y2K wedgie. Unfortunately, all of our supply lines are hopelessly entangled in imbedded systems and it really doesn't matter what operating system you and I use. And don't forget, kerosene follows the same distribution paths as gasoline so I cannot recommend that as an alternative energy source. Instead, think of that electric motor you made in 7th grade and the pitch of that Testor's propellor you carved shortly afterwards. Start winding the copper coils now. Hopefully Y2K won't stop the Santa Anna winds...

So, here I am, standing with a big 'ol grin on my face, oblivious to whats going on around me and suddenly I realize I'm getting a couple of awkward stares. I stop for a moment -- come back to reality, only to realize that I'm standing in the feminine hygiene aisle, with a GRIN on my face, staring at a box of maxi-pads, specifically, the ones with wings.....
BUT BUT, that's not...uh...REALLY, no....I was just zoning....

Ruby: I'm sure Walter uses a Dell or other PC. Most major software (Excel, Word, ClarisWorks, Norton Utilities, etc.) for Macs are easy to find through trade magazines and MacMall or MacWarehouse catalogs. There's not a lot of difference in the coding between the Windows versions and Mac.
Plus later model Macs can read PC disks anyway: 2 machines for one! There are Mac user groups. etc. to get free/cheap stuff. Most of my old programs (up to 13 years) still run even on the newer Macs - try that with a PC! Numerous CDs will run on Windows or Mac. Plus the iMacs USB config. for peripherals (conversion cables are available or can be both with printeres, etc. - for ex. the HP color inkjets come with the cable). The USB port is 100 or 1000x faster than any of the SCSI ports the Mac used before or any of the PCs. The iMacs and G3s have "Firewire" (or a.k.a IEEE 1394) connections for digital video/audio all which can run info in opposite directions at the same time virtually instaneously. RS 232 is dead... Great for the budding Ken Starrs out there: pure digital video using those SONY digital camcorders and CD quality audio while controlling the remote camera at the keyboard or by programming for your own peep show in the Oral office!
The bus ports are fast as hell too...I copied 3 600MB CD onto the hard drive on Satruday in less than 2 sec for each...I fell out of my fuckin' easy chair... Well, unless I get some residuals - that's enough advert. for today.Steely Dan/solo songs with water references:

If not, like Zeke - all Danites can stock up on gumbo, wine and kerosine to run our generators.

Not sure if that was the same guy who worked with Stipe, Buck, etc. I had one db's tape which I played over and over and over again (kinda like what i do these days with my SD and Allman Brother's tapes). Alas, this listening was from the days when my evening was i triumph if i got my car home before passing out behind the wheel, so my memory of actual cuts is slim except for "Spy in the House of Love" and "Battleground'.

Ole--I must retract in embarrasment what I said about Adam Cohen of the Mommyheads. It turns out that there are two (2) recording artists named Adam Cohen. The fellow with the new album, who uses the old Steely Dan sidemen, is indeed Leonard Cohen's son, but he's not THE Adam Cohen. What are the odds of two rather similar artists with the same name working on solo albums at the same time? It's gonna make it tough on the original Adam when he comes out with his CD and there's another guy already selling records using his name... Ouch headache again. Anyway, this other Adam Cohen is okay in a sentimental-Lou-Reed kind of way, and the session men are great.

I think Mike Holsapple of db fame was the un-official 5th member of R.E.M. for a while. I'm not sure if he contributed anything in the studio or if he just provided and extra guitar for concerts. Speaking of way back to my old school days, do you remember The Records?... the best bubblegum/powerpop band ever? Great guitarist Huw Gower on their first effort.

Good Afternoon Guestbook-
I've been gone for about a week, and after catching up on posts, am confused. If St. Al is Luckless Pedestrian, and Luckless Pedestrian is Royal Scam, but Luckless Pedestrian is also Kinky, and Eviva is Tommorrow's Girl AND Josie, Simon is Wrong Guestbook, and then there's the Clas/St. Al connection, and obviously Your Gold Keith/Edd comes into play here somehow. Aww shit...After reading all of the confused posts, all of my collective conciousnesses subsequently fused into one HYPER-PERSONA called CYBERNAUGHT. But I thought the name was stupid, so I decided to keep my old name.
Then I got paranoid and started thinking that MAYBE there is ACTUALLY only one person other than me posting here, and it's one of my psychotic ex-girlfriends trying to monitor my actions, or maybe there's nobody at all in this guestbook, it's just a figment of my imagination or possibly some artificial intelligence that was released into the internet by William Gibson or Bill Gates who is IN REALITY the person who wrote all of Fagen and Becker's songs, but had a horrible voice and is really ugly and was never allowed on stage. But then I thought, what am I talking about, Fagen and Becker are both extremely ugly, why did they get to go on stage? And then the thought occured: maybe all of this, all of life is not real, I'm not real, this computer I'm sitting at is not real, and so on, you get the picture.... And then I thought, who cares. And then I said, "Can you here me?" And I was confused all over again.
Anyway, I DID get to see the Naked Lunch show, but not at Brickroom, it was the Dada show in Deep Ellum(Dallas), which good ole Hank gave us the URL for. Yes, Midnight Cruiser, the music was GREAT, but it wasn't that the lead singer lacked conviction, he just COULDN'T sing. The whole experience was cool because Dada is a pretty small place, and it's got the open-air deck in the back, and you can get right up there and SEE what the guitarist/pianist/drummer/etc. is doing, jamming out and stuff. Some of you people NEED to come down here because these guys are local and playing every week this last month, and hopefully next month, and the month after, etc. I promise I won't be some scary mole or whatever when you meet me, like someone in the GB said earlier. Judging from the Danfest picture(if that really IS a picture of Guestbook people) most everybody else is at least partially normal looking...That doesn't mean everybody here ACTS normal(Faces of Eve(s)?). But anyway, you entitie(s)/non-entitie(s) can imagine that I feel very lucky to have this band playing here in Dallas so often, and I'd love to share it with You(guys/person/whatever).
Eviva: I already pretty much had it figured out. I liked Tommorrow's Girl/Josie, and you're pretty OK, too. KNEW you'd stick around in one form or another, and glad you did.
Geena and Rose: "Can you here me?"

I expected some sort of response to my post regarding the President, and I know why you responded to me like that. The question was asked and I replied as did other GB women.

But are there some definitive answers somewhere that can tell me what Mizar Five and all that obscure stuff really is??

I was watching the movie, "Dave", the other night and couldn't help but notice all the similarities between the movie and the current state of the White House.
I went to my 15 year high school reunion the other day and couldn't help but notice that only two of my happily married classmates were still happily married.
Sex is the only "Fountain of Youth" available to us mortals. The promise of mixing genes with a new race has always been our motive for war. The same cubic ton of gold has been melted, smelted, forged, struck, carried, deposited and stolen forever. We don't fight for gold. We fight, and live, for sex.
It would be a boring book indeed where gold and wealth alone was the object. Ask any woman who has seen Fabio. She won't recall his jewelry.
Clinton has proven, once again, that power and prestige are no substitute for good sex. What is good sex? Anyone who takes an interest in another's definition is just looking for a fight.

The Tupperware business isn't so good these days. The economy is robust and people just aren't saving as many left-overs as they used to. I was in Hong Kong last week and the Tupperware climate is just as grim. Not because the Japanese economy is on the up-swing, but because Tupperware means "smelly food coffin" in their language. That's the kind of shit that always seems to pop up when you're doing international business and nothing short of a Dr. Wu in the family can prepare you for it.

Dr. - I'm all for anything that will get our heroes to perform - I missed them on the Letterman show that night in 1995 - I was in Washington D.C. of all places, with a bus load of Canuck runners to run the Marine Corps Marathon - If I had known they were going to be on that show, I would have passed up that great jazz bar in Georgetown - But I don't enjoy Letterman, so I was destined to miss the Dan anyway.
SD played in Toronto in '95 I think, and definitely in Vancouver in '94. I know if tour dates are announced, you'll get them for us well ahead of time. The state of the Canadian buck being what it is, what are the chances they'll come up here?

Hank Silvers....thanks for the link to the DaDa Club and the Real Audio show of Naked Lunch. I'm listening to the show right now and it's cool! I like the music but the lead singer kinda lacks conviction in what he's singing. Still, it's a nice surprise. Good eyes!
Pete....thanks to you also for the .wav files. Hope to be able to hear the rest of the Damned show on Real Audio sometime in the near future.
All....my girlfriend and I were kicked back on the couch yesterday afternoon watching an old movie on Cinemax when we heard someone pull into the driveway. This is pretty unusual as we live in a fairly isolated spot on a very large farm. We peek out the window to see the local deputy sheriff and a Big Black Cow in the front yard! The guy who own's this farm raises cows so it's not unheard of for them to get out from time to time but it was a funny site to see this cop standing there looking somewhat confused and a little frightened as to how to handle the situation. I had to start laughing before I went out wanting to shout to him to "take his big black cow and get out of here!" But I went out to talk to him and he was going to call for backup when I told him I'd just call Dr. Strange and tell him one of the cows was out and could he come and get her. Yes, we really do rent this cute little house from Dr. Strange! Anyway, the cop, the cow, Dr. Strange and Shirl and I are all doing fine and most of us had a good little laugh!

are you sure you're hitting the correct little button on the left of the cyber gizmo to play the chet baker clip? if you are, then i guess the slave laborers who made my computer are superior to the slave laborers who made yours. wearing your nikes today?r&r hall of fame is nice recognition, but i hear the institution is a money-grubbing enterprise, which is why some artists like joni mitchell found better things to do than go collect their awards. i mean it's in cleveland or some damn place. ever notice that halls of fame are always in some town that needs a financial boost?

...and the HOF proceedings have gotten cumbersome and, well, boring...perhaps if elected, which based on the nominees and the clones who will be voting is not a sure bet at all, a suggestion would be sending in a hologram of a) pictures of the guys, or b) a data stream of them in concert ('99s the year??), or maybe just one of a cigar.I think I remember that image of Mr. Fagen from Feb. '93? (for '92 releases)...he wanted and deserved that one. Crap, it's been mentioned that Jeff Porcaro wanted to give it to DF after Toto IV won (yeah, that's about right - count 'em IV good songs and the rest forgettable filler up against a classic)

Ruby - just caught your latest entry - You got me on the physical/emotional bent re Clinton/Lewinski - serves me right to respond to postings at midnight - I didn't catch 9 1/2 weeks. I'm not a Mickey Rourke fan. The premise of the movie is interesting, and would be interesting if told from the female perspective with roles being reversed. Of course, many of us males are easily dominated, (something tells me I shouldn't go there!) and it might not be as erotic.

I have to agree that we guest book people really do have to forget about the Clinton/Lewinski situation and get back to the reason for this web site - Steely Dan -
Regarding the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominations - I've always felt that the only people who really cared out halls of fame were the people already inducted, or those wishing or waiting to be inducted.
Considering how DF & WB disdain anything that is initiated by the media, instead of our heroes calling the shots, something tells me that being nominated wouldn't mean a whole lot to either one. Perhaps, however, they may have mellowed in their middle age, and would go along with the fun.
I will never forget, however, while watching the 1982 Grammy's and catching a glimpse of Donald Fagen, in a tux, as his name was called out for one of four nominations that year for "Nightfly." It freaked me out somewhat, because I never imagined him being at such an affair. I also recall hearing the morning after the 1980 or '81 Grammys, that Roger Nichols won for Best Engineeering for "Gaucho," since it was not presented on the tube.
Ruby Baby - Do you know if Dion Demucci (and the Belmonts) was ever nominated for a Grammy for "Ruby Baby." I might have been 6 or 7 at the time, and wouldn't have been able to stay up that late.

RazorBoy: Did I say anything about sex being only physical? I believe sex is a whole experience - body (including the physical brain), soul (including our thoughts and emotions) and spirit (our life force). This is precisely why he could mess with her mind. Did you ever see the movie, 9 1/2 Weeks? It was on of the sexiest movies I've ever seen, but they showed very little in terms of anatomy.
You ask some interesting questions about why those two became involved. No matter how you slice it, it was for their own selfish gain. It was certainly oblivious to their families, friends and country. I think they were each playing their own little game, but Monica was way out of her league. He's much better at these things than she is, which is to her credit.Thinking about the President's sexual activities is almost like thinking about your parents' sex lives. Blah!

I notice D & W never have tried to recreate it on stage live. I got Hank Easton's two CD's - they are almost 10 years old and definetly earlier work. He is supposed to be putting out a new one shortly that is more jazz based.I often play in a Friday night euchre tourney over the web ( I know get a life) and they always ask for a humourous answer to a question when you sign up.

Mitch: I'm no Republican. I don't even vote. But Hilary and Bill have a real understanding. Based on sources that cannot be revealed, Hilary has been experimenting with bisexuality since the early to mid 1980's. There has been more marital strife and, shall we say, 'physical difficulty' in their relationship since Bill was elected in '92 - stress has a way of making itself known. What is extremely angering to Mrs. C is that Bill not only hid Ms. M from her, but that the reality of Ms. M is in direct conflict with their understanding, which had much to do with an 'altered' marital sex life.
My sources reveal that Mrs. C has had at least two lovers in Georgetown, the first being in 1995. Apparently, there was another in 1996-97 which has continued for the most part.
The powerful women who support her are virtually invisible, but give her a great amount of dedication and foresight. One of these became Hilary's lover. We hetero men must regrettably understand that for some women, even powerful women, women know each other best.
The only thing that is unclear is if the Clinton's will divorce or conduct a private seperation.
Yours sincerely,

It was a *Black Friday* and *Chain Lightening* filled the sky, when *Rose Darling*, and *Kid Charlemagne* were conversating with there friends, *Charlie Freak*, *Razor Boy*, *Josie*, *Peg* and there goat *Aja* down in *The Caves of Altamira*, in *Brooklyn*. When Charlie commented that maybe they should go down to *The Royal Scam* bar down in *Barrytown*.
"I hear *Parker's Band* is playing there tonight." he said.
"Oh I like them!!" Peg blurted out. "*Any Major Dude Will Tell You* how great they are!!" she added.
"I need to change into my *Bad Sneakers*" Kid said "But then we can go." So off they all went to the bar.
On the way there, Razor Boy stopped and said "Hey this is *My Old School! I used to hang with the *Show Biz Kids* until I started dating the *Babylon Sisters*. Now they were fine!! They made me feel like the *King Of The World* that is until *My Rival* *Third World Man* came along..the bastard!!"
They where continuing on there way when they ran into Rikki.
"Hey guys what's going on?" she asked.
"We're going to The Scam, to see Parker's Band, want to come?" Josie Asked.
"Maybe later. I got to oversee *The Change Of The Guard* at work, but after that I'm free.
"How's that going?" Charlie asked.
"It's a *Glamour Proffesion* all right!! What's the address at the club?"
"It's 1234 *East St. Louis Toodle-oo* St. It Crosses *FM* lane." Jo said.
"Let me give you the number.. 123-4567. Now *Rikki Don't Lose That Number*!!
Rolling her eyes Rikki answered "Don't worry I won't."
They finally got to the bar, when Peg over heard a couple of bouncer talking. One said to the other,
"Hey *Deacon Blues*, if the crowd gets rowdy, *Throw Back The Little Ones*."
"Sure thing *Gaucho*." the other responed.
When they got to the front of the line, the bouncer asked for there tickets.
"Tickets?" Kid asked.
" Yeah tickets, you have to have tickets to get in to this gig doofus! You can get them in that other line over there."
Kid turned to his friends, and said,
"Guys I don't have that much cash on me."
Rose jokingly said,
" Why dont you sell *Your Gold Teeth* to raise the cash."
Kid did not thing this was funny and sniped back,
"Well if I'm selling mine, then give me *Your Gold Teeth II*!! *Only A Fool Would Say That* Rose!!"
They finally got the tickets and got back in line. While they were waiting Peg found a paper lying on the ground, she picked it up and saw that it was *The Boston Rag*.
"Hey look guys. That movie star *Bodhisattva* got a *Hatian Divorce* from her husband of 25 years. She is quoted as saying, I'm sick of *Reelin' In The Years* with him. "I'm *Through With Buzz*.
When they got in the club, Parker's Band was playing one of there hits, *Night By Night*.
"Damn I love this band!!" Rose Darling said.
"Yeah they're great!", everyone else agreed.
They got a table, and there waitress came up.
"Hi, I'm *Pearl Of The Quarter*, can I get you something?"
Rose, Peg and Josie ordered *Black Cow*s and the fellas ordered beers.
"Would You like some *Pretzel Logic* with those drinks?" Pearl asked.
"Sure sounds great." Kid replied.
" Wow the club isn't that crowded. Looks like *Everyone's Gone To The Movies* tonight." Razor Boy commented.
"They don't know what they are missing, this band is like having a *Monkey In Your Soul*, or like spening *Time Out Of Mind* they are awesome!! I bet they live like *Kings* and queens."
Just then Rikki came in wearing stunning *Green Earrings*.
"WOW!! Those are beautiful." Josie stated.
"Thanks, and *Hey, Nineteen* bucks is all I paid for them. I got them at the *Sign In Stranger* shop down the street from my house.
The show had ended and Kid and Rose were just saying there good-byes to they gang in front of there place. When they got inside Rose sighed, "*Home At Last*.
Kid kissed Rose on the neck and asked if she wanted to join him in the bedroom. She agreed and off they went.
"Will you wear *The Fez* tonight?" she asked. He agreed, and after their love making was done, Rose said,
"*Everything You Did*, all that *Dirty Work*, I want you to *Do It Again*!! Rose exclamed.
Meanwhile while Razor Boy, Peg, Charlie Freak, and Josie were walking home they heard someone yell,
"*Fire In The Hole*!!" And *With A Gun* a man ran out in front of them. He poised his gun right on Josie, when Charlie cried out
"*Don't Take Me Alive*!!" and jumped in front of Jo as the man fired.
The girls screamed and the man hopped into his *Midnight Cruiser* and sped off.
Charlie fell to the ground, and Razor kneeled over him, and said,
"We need to get him to *Dr. Wu* right away!! Hopefully he will be able to *Turn That Heartbeat Over Agian*. And off they rushed to the Doctor.
When they got there Josie and Peg called Rose and Kid.
"We're *Here At The Western World* hospital, Charlie's been shot." Josie said with heart break in her voice.
"*I Got The News*!!" You're at the *Any World* hospital?" Rose asked.
"NO, the Westen World Hospital!! Hurry up!!" Josie said.
After Josie had got off the phone with Rose, Dr. Wu came out to talk to them.
"I've got good news, he's going to make it, but you need to contact his family."
Razor Boy said,
"I think his dad lives in New York"
"His *Daddy Don't Live In That New York City No More*, he lives in Annendale now, in the Good Hotel."
--
Charlie made it through with flying colors, and they caught the man who shot him. Charlie and Josie fell in love and got married after waht he had done for her. They drove off for their honeymoon in their Kamakiriad with "Just Married written on the back. And Parker's Band went on tour and won the Grammy after years of being snubbed.

I lived in Las Vegas for a short time in 89-90, back when all those cool volcanoes were just blue lines on a scroll and emergency aircraft landings due to laser blindness had yet to be added to the Luxor's insurance policy. Anyway, the big bike was shiny and spiffy beyond reproach and one night I met a beautiful, tough chick at Tramps, (an after-hours joint on Tropicana.) She slipped me her tongue while she settled in behind me on the Big Biker seat and that was that. It was like my own personal government shut-down and she was my randy volunteer in need of a job. I'm a nice guy. I gave her one.
We ended up in the desert where I dreamt all night of her nails in my back. The next morning I awoke to her pulling cacti spikes out of my ass. It was love, brothers and sisters. And love is pain with just enough attention to make the pain bearable. Some call that "attention", pleasure, but I call it a double striped line on an unobstructed black-top.
A couple of weeks later the big bike succumbed to the relentless 110+ degree days and my princess simultaneously evaporated into the Nevada nothingness like an amateur UFOlogist who had stumbled into Area 51. I was heartbroken. Yes, the Big Bike needed extensive work....
Anyway, I was on my way out of town a few days later, riding both a lucky streak and a revived machine, when the woman suddenly appeared from behind an "All Nude Revue" billboard on the western edge of Las Vegas Blvd. "Back on all four cylinders again, cowboy", she playfully queried? "Nope", I answered. "Just looking for a girl who'd rather ride me than my machine".
I know that girl still has a pair of my stained leathers and a brother-in-law who's never played Doctor. Tell me, should I count my lucky starrs?

Ruby, interesting observation on Clinton playing mind games with Monical Lew - But when isn't sex or dirivitives thereof not a mental contact sport - Both parties want something, many times not the same thing, and it's not always just physical gratification. Did Monica want her and Bill to do the bone dance
just because his power and position made it an irresistible aphredesiac (sp?), or did she figure that any emotional investment by Clinton would improve her situation? Being involved with the President brought her as close to him as anyone important in his life was, including Hillary.. And did President Clinton get involved solely because Lewinski was infatuated, easily enticed, and a harmless diversion from Hillary? If sex were just physical, we would be so less selective with whom we imbibe in, as humans invariably are.As far as Halls of Fame are concerned, the only people who truly care about them are the people who are in them already, or those waiting and hoping to get in.

Oleander--The name of the Adam Cohen album to which I referred is "Adam Cohen", which puts him in the unique state of having made two consecutive eponymous albums (the last Mommyheads album was called "The Mommyheads").
Regarding "The Crucible": Wasn't the real tragedy of the story not so much the actions of the principals but society's (the public's) reactions to them? Isn't that the case in most witch-burning or public relations scenarios?
Jack Webb: Are you ever going to post again? You never again appeared after assassinating my affinity for alliteration.
In the light of both political parties embarrasing themselves recently, perhaps we at the Guestbook should come up with our own Presidential candidate. The only difficulty will be finding a Dan fan who has never inhaled (or been inhaled).

Miss Scarlet: Zing. Good one.

dangerous demo: I see your point about the parallels (BTW I haven't read the play in years, so bear with me on the names etc.). Howevah...IMO the plot really didn't center on exposing the adultery, but about what happens when a bunch of girls try to avoid getting into trouble for a prank, and all the lies, slanders and chaos that ensue...
But you're right, the parallels really do break down at the point of: what's the Clinton brouhaha all about? The "left" (whoever THAT is) is saying it's about private consensual sex, so leave it alone. The "right" (I do hate putting multiopinioned people in boxes like "right" and "left") is saying no, it's about whether it's OK for someone to lie under oath and arguably try to stall or impede an investigation just because the questions are on a topic you consider personal.Remember that this whole thing started because Bill CLinton was being investigated, as an employer, on a pattern of behavior relevant to a sexual harrassment charge brought by Paula Jones (investigating "patterns of behavior" toward subordinates being an integral part of sexual harrassment cases).
And at the time of the questioning, Clinton *didn't know* the case would be thrown out. All he knew is that he'd sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And the same people who are up in arms now, think it was OK to ask Justice Clarence Thomas all these personal questions under oath and expect him to answer truthfully, but not Bill Clinton now... especially since Justice Thomas had NO other women alleging a pattern of sexual peccadillos/ harrassment.
What's your take on all this?

I think President Bill can pass as honest farmer John Proctor. Maybe Monica is just a little too innocent to be Abigail.. Still I can see her and Linda Tripp and whoever that book agent is parading their giggly, deadly stories before the Puritan Congress.
Bill and Monica, just like John and Abby really did have their little liason, and it really did lead to a public relations catastrope and it did leave us wondering, how much of this is anybody's business but the people involved?

What happened to Billy Boy and Monica can be summed up into one of the most powerful words in the dictionary. Not even the President himself can escape it's raw power. Not even YOU!
It can eventually overcome anyone, no matter how much faith you think you have. More powerful than any drug known to man. "Seduction: The act of seducing to wrong. The enticement of a male/female to unlawful intercourse without force" This is exactly what happened here. Who seduced who?
Who cares. I spoke to my good friend Judge Judy, she says both are wrong.Playing poker can be hazardous. Be careful when you call someone's bluff.

fezo--got your note. Thanx.
Weighing in briefly on the distaff side: If Clinton loves women, then in his vocabulary love=manipulation. I think he's just an equal opportunity user who will do anybody (politically, economically, or sexually) indiscriminately if it benefits him. How it has manifested in his relationships with women less successful/ bright/ whatever than he is the usual way it does with powerful men, in whom sex is simply an expression of and fuel for that power.
LP--The Nazis styled themselves "socialists." If you think that Nazism is a form of socialism, proceed directly to remedial poli sci. They were fascists.
Hoops! & others--OK, so is it time for a letter-writing/ email campaign? What's the timeline for the HOF voting?

Speaking of music, I lifted the following quotes from Musician Magazine's review of Adam Cohen's (formerly of the Mommyheads) new CD: "Recorded at fifteen different studios over two years, with credits that read like Steely Dan liner notes......Employing studio veterans like Larry Klein, Jim Keltner, Paulinho da Costa, Greg Phillinganes, and Mark Isham, to name a few, Cohen and producer Steve Lindsey took the classic 'Dan approach, mixing and matching performances for ultimate effect. ... ...What remains a constant is the bracing guitar of legendary session man Dean Parks." end of quote
Cohen has publicly mentioned his admiration for SD before; now he's apparently emulating the Aja/Gaucho production methods in his solo work. He's also the son of growler/songwriter Leonard Cohen, who's a great writer but unfortunately will be mostly remembered for "Suzanne", perhaps the worst song of the hippie era.--I haven't heard the Adam Cohen solo album, but the Mommyheads albums I've heard were terrific. Not really Danlike but pretty good Metha-Dan for anyone a year or so away from their next Steely fix.
Wrong Guestbook-- Wrong again, Simon breath; that was me that looked stupid in the Danfest photo.
Is it coincidence that Gaucho and the Clinton/Lewinski affair are the alternating and predominating topics here lately? Many similar themes; especially with Babylon Sisters.

fezo: Yep, the music's so much more fun to agree and disagree about--"Babylon Sisters" astounds musically, and the storyline, even more oblique than "Glamour," lends itself to bunches of allegorical implications...
Re: Clinton, thanx for asking...IMO he doesn't hate women--as others have posted, he's TOO attracted to them--but he does have a profound lack of respect for them. Maybe he's just too busy thinking about his own wants to even consider them. Most glaringly he's proved this repeatedly in Hillary's case, and Chelsea's...
And note how he lied pathetically to Monica, virtually promising her he'd be available to her soon, the appalling come-ons to K. Willey and Paula (Kathyrn's husband had just died), and witness all the "bimbo eruptions" (revealing wording: wasn't that his own staff's idea?) staff's ad hominem attacks on Gennifer, Paula, Kathryn and Monica, once El Supremo no longer had any use for them. Dunno about Hillary, but Monica's the only one not his wife who's gotten a (sort of) apology, and given the timing it didn't look too sincere to me...

Fezo: It's my belief that he was just doing the "male" thing and just like in the animal world, when the female starts throwing off those pheromones, the male reacts like nature intended him too. There are very few differences between humans and animals. Animals exist the way nature created them and humans exist by rules created by society.
I don't know if he was the seducer or the seducee, but at any rate it was a consensual act. Neither party was forced. The ugly truth is these acts run rampant in work environments everywhere. I don't think he hates or disrespects women, he loves women too much and possibly for all the wrong reasons. He's guilty of breaking a sacred vow of marriage and trust. I'm sure Hillary is aware of his womanizing, she doesn't impress me as a stupid woman, but I can't understand why she let it go on. Maybe she didn't have a choice? Or maybe chose to keep quiet about it for the sake of either her own career or his.
He let the power of the presidency go to his head, he got cocky, and took advantage of a very immature, pretty, young woman. (Hey, I'm the president, I can do whatever I want!) I oftentimes put myself in ML's shoes at her age, and I may or may not have gone as far as she did, but she saw something in him that most young women her age dream of; a chance to be financially set for life in the arms of a famous celebrity, to rub elbows with other rich and famous and to live a life of expensive cars and clothes. I would have had stars in my eyes to. (no pun intended!)
Miss Lewinsky was correct about one thing in that he really is a little boy. The man had a virtual candy store around him and he just got caught stealing one too many times. I think he has a problem with his sexuality and is probably deep inside a very confused and insecure man. I would be too if I had the huge responsibility of running country.
What he and ML did was their business, and they have to eventually face their own devils as well as their loved ones, but I certainly can't condone lying about it. He now has to regain trust within himself first, his family and then the nation. Unfortunately, until he leaves office, I doubt he'll be able to do it.
If an average joe, a blue or white collar working stiff faced with confessing to his wife and family that he betrayed them, which route do you suppose he'd take? If it meant saving face, I think he'd lie.
If you strip him of his title, his power and his money, he's a human being like all of us and that also means he's not perfect.

Fezo: I didn't read the Report or watch the Video, but I heard about some of the things he said to Monica during their relationship. This thing about letting her perform sexual acts with him, but refusing to (let it spill) because he didn't trust her, sounds pretty weird & negative to me. He was playing with her mind, as well. Definitely unhealthy. More on the miso side than the pro side. Just mho.go Dan!

fez,
bear in mind that when clinton has sex with a woman or tries to have sex and she talks, that woman is then attacked by all his squadrons of dirtbags. they told us k. willey was nuts, g. flowers? out for the money & publicity. p. jones? a liar. and m. lewinsky was "that woman." he told everyone around him (albright, etc.) that he & monica never had sex, so the implied message was lewinsky is nuts. but he feared getting the campaign in full swing because of the semen-stained dress, which is why he finally (sort of) told the truth. facts are facts. he's a scumbag. but from the facts i do know, i can't see voting impeachment.luckless,

Fezo: Thanks for asking. I think Clinton loves women TOO much.! He can't resist them, regardless of who he is or who they are, where he is, or whether he may hurt someone else by doing what pleases him at the moment. Sure he showed no regard for his wife or daughter but who knows what type of arrangement they have in their marriage and I really think that a man who feels this powerful, believes that he can get away with it without anyone finding out about it. Since Clinton claims that he never had intercourse with Monica, and most of their encounters were one sided, I imagine Monica was one frustrated, horny chic. What did she get from this relationship ?(beside a book deal)

Ahhh, the music is, in the final analysis, so much more fun than the politics. (And enduring, too. Here we are, discussing and analyzing SD's stuff 5 administrations later.)
I concur that there is a linear story to BabSis, but, as past discussions have shown, that story is still open to interpretation. I find that almost all of SD's stuff is like a story told by photo montage; they're strong on imagery but tantalizingly skimpy on concrete narrative detail. Our minds are left (encouraged) to fill in the blanks. This accounts for the wide variety of interpretations, and why we can so readily see the possibility of someone else's interp.
(Finally, the professorial tone isn't adopted. I really talk that way. Ask Lisa.)

LP: give me a break, guy. Next time before you adopt an obnoxious professorial tone, try actually reading the post that raised your ire. I wasn't offering a playground defense. I was only responding to your question about why it was the liberals who always adopted perjorative labels by pointing out the use of perjorative labels wasn't the exclusive province of liberals. I wasn't defending the conduct. It bugs the shit out of me when both sides adopt that behavior.
Women of the GB: Is Clinton's behavior misognystic? I have my own theory but I want a female's take.
Back to the music . . . another song on Gaucho worthy of high-praise is "Babylon Sister". I think it gets overlooked sometime cause it was one of the singles. It's so multi-textured, the main vocal telling a very detailed, linear story, and then the background vocals come in and take the listener to another place and time.

Fezo: re name-calling... Ahh, the playground defense: "He started it! Everyone else is doing it!" Two wrongs justify more wrongs?
OK, let's take it piece by piece...
"right-wing" Define precisely, please? Too many people seem to confuse that with "conservative" or "traditional"."bible-thumping" So the Prez's recent appearances before groups of religious leaders, quoting Scripture, and essentially *demanding* to be forgiven for his sins is... what?
"hypocritical" Specifics, please? Otherwise, the playground defense is assumed.
"misogynistic" Specifics, please? And I fail to see how calling in a 20-year-old girl to service you orally or cheating on your wife "hundreds" of times shows great respect for women.
"scum" Pretty subjective and hard to prove. But I'll let ya have that one for free.

How about "right-wing, bible-thumping, hypocritical, misogynistic, scum"?
But I really don't think liberals have the exclusive franchise on using over-the-top terms to describe their opposition. They aren't the ones who pioneered "red-baiting" for example. Comparing someone to Stalin seems just as loathsome as comparing someone to Hitler if if you ask me.
It's usually a modern artist who present the new inductees at the HOF ceremony. Maybe Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz?

Fezo: Yeah, Ollie was (is) a Republican and a felon. And he was removed from his job for committing a felony, but served no time in jail for it because of a legal technicality. I would certainly be willing to have WJC follow that precedent. (And why is it that liberals love to use pejorative labels? They are always quick to pin tags like "Nazi" on their political opposites which only cheapens the horror that the Nazis were. And don't forget that Nazi was short for "National Socialist".)
Seriously, there is no way Starr could be now approved for the Supremes. The politicos are too gun-shy. But I also think that Hillary is super-steamed at Willy because she had *her* eye on a Supreme seat once they were out of office. (Or maybe WJC would have grabbed it for himself. What else is he gonna do for the next 20-30 years?)
Who makes the HOF induction speech? Skunk Baxter!

fearless prediction: Valens and Shannon will split the dead nominee vote thus ensuring first ballot victory for WB and DF. I'm also picturing a monster jam at the end to either "Smoke on the Water" or "Ironman" with Donald and Walter sharing enthusiastic lead vocals with either Ian or Ozzie.

BOY AM I GLAD you brought up The Crucible. I have indeed read it. Maybe you should read it again.The Crucible by Arthur Miller
Starring: BILL CLINTON AS ABBY
MONICA LEWINSKY AS JOHN SMITH
KENNETH STARR AS MARYThe relevant point in the book is how far Abby (the scheming adultress who will sacrifice ANYTHING AND ANYONE to get what she wants and protect herself from the consequences) will go. She and the other girls point the finger at quite literally everyone else. And Abby is the ringleader of the many slanders and deceptions: Goody Smith (or whoever) is a witch, she made me do it, she's putting spells on other people too, didn't you see how she charmed Goody Hawkins? Abby almost gets John Smith's wife hanged as a witch so she can do what she wants--have John Smith and get away with it.
Then when Mary tries to bring the truth out in the courtroom they TURN ON HER and slander HER, accuse her of being a witch--throwing the whole courtroom into chaos. Which was what Abby and the girls wanted all along--took attention off their wrongdoing, you see. And Mary very nearly gets killed for being falsely accused as a witch until John Smith exposes Abby and tells the truth about their adulterous relationship, getting nothing but public shame as a reward for telling the truth.
At the end of the story, several people whose only crime was seeing and exposing the girls' (mainly Abby's) multiple-layered deceptions get HANGED wrongly, accused of being witches themselves. Abby gets off--when the truth comes out--with merely being exiled, which wouldn't be a bad end to Clinton's scenario either.
Why is Abby so evil? Not because she engaged in a childish prank or committed adultery, although that's wrong. She's EVIL because she's willing to see other people quite literally go up in flames to protect herself from some public shame and a little trouble (for the prank) from her society. She heaps lies on lies, uses everyone in her path to get what she wants and slanders friends and neighbors alike and gives not a crap for anyone but herself. Abby's integrity, commitment to principle and self-sacrificing nature are exactly what I want in a the leader of a major world power, don't you agree?

Citizen Dan: I sympathize with your stance regarding the Hall... F**K the R&R Hall of Fame!! However, on second thought... OK, suppose our boys are really gonna be inducted. My notion is that they would show up and perform just to let the world know they still got what it takes. Especially with Tour '99 coming up. That means we've got a reason for another DANFEST!!!! with our boys as the Guests of Honor!!! That means we need to get our tix to the induction ceremony before they're gone... that means we need to book our hotel rooms before they're gone... etc.
Luckless: Yeah, you're right about Quayle... he got a raw deal from the press... however, the press just picks up on a person's flaws and magnifies them. They had a real hard time figuring out what is really wrong with Quayle so they just started making fun of him. The late night comedians got hold of the thread and magnified it further. That said, even as a born Republican turned independent (little i), there's no way in hell that I'd vote for the man!

Steely Dan were/are great composers who for the most part transcended rock music into a sort of Gershwin meets Stevie Wonder type of pop music...if you want to "award" them give them a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy or something...the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame placement only diminishes their standing in the annals of late 20th Century music....the HoF represents the antithesis of what roc
