Hearing “Ricky Don’t Lose That Number” on AM radio for the first time in the early 70’s locked me into Steely Dan, I’m now 64 and continue to play their vinyl weekly, truly a great group of Artists 👏🏽
I feel ya Larry! I graduated HS in 73, Can't Buy a Thrill was fabric of my young adult life, Doobie Bros, Led Zep, Clapton and a touch of Zappa defines that part of my life and, like you, I still listen--quality is quality.
I really hope the new tour comes to Europe again ..last time I seen the band was Jan 2019 in Dublin ...missed Walter but glad to have seen him a few times...the band were on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Walt and Don are a comedy duo only matched by Statler & Waldorf. They could have had a career in stand-up (or sit down) if that music stuff didn't work out. That line about throwing all your SD records away then buying the new one, listening to it, then buying the old ones again (around 6:05) had tears of laughter streaming down my face. RIP Walter.
He probably said that because at this time in 1999-2000, they were re-releasing the back catalog as remasters with lengthy new liner notes, each of which were humorous as a matter of fact.
5:27 Fagen looks uncomfortable during this interview looking down at the floor. The way he takes a drink and looks off to the side. It’s like he’s thinking “damn get me outta here”. 😂 Seriously though you can tell they don’t enjoy talking about their music. They’d rather it speak for itself so that the listener can form their own interpretation of the song.
I have a feeling IF the interviewer had pressed the right buttons and were also someone familiar with music theory and share similar interests, they would love talking about their music. We haven't got anything like that, except for maybe the Classic Album documentary of Aja. EDIT: Just remembered worthy mentions: Tom Scott podcast and Leo Sidran's The Third Story.
I wonder does Fagan still feel the same way about Two Against Nature? I've just realised that I've listened to about half of Two Against Nature just by liking the individual songs - and they're all fantastic. But for some reason I've always had this impression that their stuff after Gaucho isn't even worth listening to -- so I've never actually listened to the album start to finish. I must actually sit down and listen to it.
wow, is amazing to me Becker says they didn't use any of the 70's crap...Hell, they Were a huge part of the 70's from my perspective, we had so many flavors back then, was a truly amazing time
@@MarcusN-kp1jn She asked them why they think "few artists rarely" introduce humor into their songs. That means most artists always introduce humor into their songs, but certainly she means the opposite: either that "few artists introduce humor" or "artists rarely introduce humor."
Einstein. Steely Dan. Yep- both have stood test of time pretty well. Rip Walter.
Ricky, Cornelius and Walter. Rest In Peace 🙏🏽

"throw all the old Steely Dan albums away, and then buy them again..." haha

@@TheR6R6R Exactly. They are kind of hostile to people they think don't get it.

It was courteous of Donald and Walter to presume that the interviewer, at 05:42, actually meant the opposite of what she said.
What?
