Solamente un tonto diria eso.
or Only a fool would say that
Wow, somehow never heard that before. Good song.
I like their sound, and Aja is a great album. BUT,
Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are anything but conservative.
It’s not their fault they came of age doing the beatnik era and grew up just outside of N.Y. city. Look at some of their interviews and you’ll see they definitely lean left. They’re about the music though, and I give them credit for not going Boner / Bono or Springsteen. I won’t listen to anything they put out again. That’s coming from a huge fan of both of them that stood out in blazing sun and pouring rain to buy tickets for their concerts.
Yeah, I’m that old.
Yep on the Aja thing but fuck them all
I don’t hear Lennon mentioned anywhere in his song. I’ve been listening to The Dan since ’72. Saw them in ’73 with Mason Prrofit, and Sha Na Na. Again… point out exactly where Lennon is mentioned…. “Standing inside your brown shoes” Really? I call thia bullshit from some folks arriving late to the show.

That’s about wage slaves, not pop stars.
