Jon I think we all feel that way!
I thought it was sort of sad about SD offering to pay $600 for the missing multitracks. (Aja) But then, that's Becker and Fagen!
They came together when many of us were young and became part of lives, just as surely as The Beatles or Stones, at least for myself. I remember "Reelin' In The Years" about the time I got out of the Army. Man it was on the radio constantly (so was Seals & Crofts "Summer Breeze" and if I'm not mistaken it was on the AFN (armed forces network) overseas though I'm hazy on that. Prolly that darn Conrad Adenour played it. lol!
Great read! My heart aches to know Pretzel Logic, mixed by ES, is sitting on a drive somewhere
I WANT MY PRETZEL LOGIC sooner than later.
(Thanks for the link. I either missed it the first time, or forgot about it!)
sugary bon bons for Jon Jon!
Wow! Was that a slipped memory or a transport past a greater event in time (is the madman black or are the windows painted?)
Well, those two were notably unreliable interviewees...they used to really piss off some folks that tried to question them about almost anything. Others just went with the flow (I heard) and got out of it whatever they could. I mean, look at their music. The lyrics are all so smoothly integrated into the music until you actually listen. I still get a smile when I listen to "Gaslighting Abbey" & "Cousin Dupree) It becomes apparent that although they were very very serious about the music, they didn't mind taking liberties with the lyrics.
