For a feel good 1,5 hours, some time together with your usually raped brain and a couple of hits to your western middle class sensitivity, BS represents a nice specimen. Start your free trial.

How about Becker's classic quirky solo album, '11 tracks of whack' with the self-referential title referring to his mysteriously getting run over by a car after an underage girl died of OD in his house I mean, brilliant or not After I listen to a new Steely Dan album, once I've deciphered at least a few of the lines, I always feel like I need to take a shower, wash off the slime..
Then I'll go back and try to decipher the rest. I Love their music. I Hate their morals. In the end, I'm glad they exist I don't want to sound like some 14 year olds who dropped acid for their first time writing paragraphs about how every thought is subjective; leaving you unconvinced. I'll take this approach - they played with accomplished black musicians and they play black music. Is it that difficult to imagine that they possessed some kind of relationship, maybe friendship with one of them?
You watch the Aja interview the reverence they hold for Mr.
Look I've made scathing comments to people about race that target peoples insecurities. I know the train of thought how it's funny to you. And well if they aren't targeting anyone they're more moral to me.

And I don't consider myself racist or immoral. I won't lose any sleep over it too, mathafucka Flag bkabbott on August 14, Flag bkabbott on August 14, I mean it's the only way they could do what they did with an open conscious. For example Anthony Keidis who is caught up in being a start and then he went to AA so they tell him to tell everyone he's a heroin addict.
He writes a book about it that's humblebrag masturbation that brings people he encountered in his life down without regard for how it will affect them. If Donald and Walter drugs like they did in the 70s they would scoff at Keidis and his book. Flag bkabbott on August 16, Imagine trying to explain to a 9 yr old what these guys are talking about in most of their songs. But they are lyricist's lyricists as well as musician's musicians. I feel guilt for loving SD as much as I do.
Flag NomadMonad on January 09, Her name appears in the credits of early Steely Dan albums so she was at least in her twenties, probably thirties. His getting hit by a taxi a year or so later was unrelated. I have no idea about his personal life except that by the early 80s he was married and had two kids. Flag daisy on April 30, Flag bluejim on October 03, My Opinion Having grown up in LA during the 50's and 60's and returned in the 80's and 90's I would like to add a few observations.
Has anyone considered that the Babylon sisters San Francisco: Babylon by the Bay are two girls, ladies, young women who have come down from the bay area to party in LA? Hence, "San Francisco show and tell" later in the song. We all remember that. To me the background voices sound white, but who am I to judge. Maybe the ladies are twins! Imagine watching the sun go down, silhouetting the palm trees and reflecting gold off the buildings downtown.
It does tend to arouse some primal impulses. And who, going up in LA, hasn't walked with the stars on the beach in Malibu, driven down to Tijuana to partake in some cheap, kinky fun?! Cotton candy is a bit of fluffy sweet. Take it anyway you want it or both ways: The girls are singing, "Tell me I am the only one. Remember the storyteller is a mature, successful guy. They are looking to hook-up with him. He's got the goods, he's connected.
He was probably driving his Porsche convertible west on Sunset looking forward to the party. Only room for one passenger? Turn down the music yourself and enjoy the winding road down to the party house on the beach. I am already looking forward to it. Regrets, yes, I've had a few, but when you shake it like that it's hard to change. Just don't go too far. You may not be able to come back.
Too much Hotel California Oakland is not west of SF. Good lyrics are poetry and the Dan usually delivers in spades! Both cities are referred to in each verse. The verses themselves are loose brushstrokes referencing decadence, from simply driving with loud music blaring Sunset to the sea to love triangles loves not a game for three on to the inevitable reflection on what has gone down watches his bridges burn.
We're forced to fill in the details and looks like many here have. General Comment It's about a man who's getting older and clinging to his youth, but is realizing that his threesomes with very young women and fast lifestyle are leaving him spiritually empty. Babylon is a reference to evil or errant ways and when the background singers belt out "Shake It!

The character dies a "spiritual" death in the end. General Comment Babylon, the city struck down for building their tower too high in defiance to God I interpret the Baby-sisters as Hollywood-area-active young girls, fine and young, who have license to go anywhere with their Babylonian lack of moral fears , freedom. Could be a big movie producer's pet, house sitter, who can freely socialize with stars in East Sunset Blvd, where the music clubs are Roxy, Whisky-a gogo.
