      I think he can't deal with aging. He mentions back when he was popular with the college age girls. Now he's still trying to be with them but the age difference keeps reminding him that he's not a young man anymore. The alcohol and pot at the end ease the pain of knowing he's growing old. He even says "I'm just growing old" in the song.

    Steely Dan is a band, but is primarily Donald Fagan and Walter Becker. Those two wrote all the music... Donald plays keys and sings while Walter plays guitar. They were notorious for bringing in session musicians while recording their albums and testing out a million different people before getting the sound they want. Also fun fact Steely Dan is the name of a vibrator lol

    1980 is when this masterpiece of an album came out. “ 19” didn’t know who Aretha was- so they had even less in common. There’s not one bad song by the Dan. Two guys ( composers, musicians) and the best studio and guest musicians in the world.
    Black Cow- the lyrics video - is great. Also “ Peg” , “ Josie”, “ Babylon Sisters”. “ Aja” and Gaucho” are my fave albums of theirs.

    Steely Dan is Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (who died a few years ago). They chose their session musicians perfectly on each album. Becker was responsible for the incredible musical engineering.

    Steely Dan was Donald Fagen on keyboards and Walter Becker (we lost him in 2017) on bass. Other than that, many great musicians rotated through on different albums.
    Have fun in the rabbit hole!
    Kid Charlemagne, Haitian Divorce, Babylon Sisters, Don't Take Me Alive, Home At Last, The Boston Rag....and many more.

    This 19 year old ain't even know who the Queen of Soul is cause she's too young to have ever heard her music. He can't hang with this young thang cause she don't know nothing yet.

    G'day, Vid! Steely Dan is Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, with incredible side musicians like Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Next, try "Do It Again" (their first hit, still one of the best); "Don't Take Me Alive", or "Show Biz Kids". This rabbit hole is deep and comfortable, with many a pleasant surprise!

    Listen to the entire Aja album. Came out when I was a senior in high school. One of my all time favorites. I always said if I had a daughter, I would name her Aja. I had three sons.

    A "Steely Dan" is a metallic vibrator mentioned in a book called Naked Lunch. The group consists of two main dudes. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Walter passed away a few years back. Backup players are mainly session musicians except for their first two albums in which they were a "real" band. This song is about an older gentleman not being able to relate to a young 19 year old who doesn't even know who Aretha Franklin is. But with Cuervo Gold and Columbian weed, the night will be just fine anyway.

    Picture this; the guy is in college hanging out with the nineteen yr old when an Aritha Franklin song comes on. He says to her " hey nineteen, that's Aritha Franklin ". The girl doesn't know who that is, therefore he says jokingly to someone else " she don't remember the Queen of soul".
