    Tonight was a good night for some Steely Dan. I haven't listened to them for a while. One of the greatest bands of all time. As has been mentioned, there is no such thing as a bad Steely Dan song. I started listening to them back in college in the late 70's. Their music reminds me of good times hanging out with my fraternity brothers and partying in the dorm room. Hard to believe it was nearly 35 years ago! 35 years! And yet Steely Dan is still as great and relevant as they were back then. Amazing.

I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see Walter Becker while he was still alive. Don Fagan still has the personality, charisma and the chuztpuh to be so inviting & his essence & charm, totally moved us.

    I was too young for Royal Scam. But I was 11 when Aja was released, and it is one of my all-time favorite albums. In my 50's now and I've seen them 4 times live in concert (2x with Walter Becker).
    The last time though didn't do them Justice, because they opened for the Eagles. Steely Dan was playing hit after hit and the majority of people who were only Eagles fans just sat there🥱. It was unbelievable🤷‍♀️

    I'm sorry, but I have to use my bad-boy language: Just...I mean...what a f*cking GREAT song. Period. When I think about rock at that time, like when this song came out, man...this song and the whole album just blew everything right the f*ck away. Completely. HUGE game changer. I was getting out of college and just got a job as a radio DJ when this came out. Whew. It was stunning. This was like the last album of the "old" steely dan...Aja, Gaucho...and the jazz and solo albums that followed, still all good, but they ain't no Royal Scam. My previous favorite Steely album was Countdown to Ecstacy, one that I first heard when I was maybe in 4th grade or so. I had an older cousin who I idolized who like all this hip music from the day. He turned me on to that one, and later another older friend in my neighborhood gave me an "extra" copy he had. Changed my life. Maybe it changed yours too. I don't know.

    This reminds me of my dear and sweet memories of post graduate days from college. I was turned on to Steely Dan by my friend of 48 years Stanley Jaquess who is absolutely brilliant and a graduate from Phillips Academy. I was fortunate to meet him at Tennessee State University via needing to be tutor for my Algebra class in order to maintain my academic scholarship via one of his friends that I was playing chess with on a Saturday evening. Thus, begin a journey of a mentor and a pupil regarding class, style, designers and of course I aced my honors algebra classes...

    The Royal Scam was a very haunting album for me. It is clear how this album was the connective tissue between their earlier stuff and Aja. To be honest though, personally, I put it up right next to Aja any day. Love this album. Green Earring has one of my all time favorite SD guitar solos.

      This is a song about people from Puerto Rico who immigrated to New York in the '50s and '60s hoping to secure the American Dream only to find discrimination and hate from the native population.

    '...where they learn to face

    Fagen is one of the very strongest rock poets. His ironic, poignant and compassionate verses speak to me from a different sky compared to, say, the narcissistic mumblings of Morrison (with honourable exceptions).
