Beyond bizarre...

I've always liked SD. The musicianship and production are unreal, but it takes more than that to capture my interest. Probably the mix of other influences like jazz, latin, country (e.g. Pearl of the Quarter, Fire in the Hole outro) and the often "dark" lyrics (sex, drugs, and even creepier stuff such as "Everyone's Gone to the Movies") drew me in.

No accounting for taste!

Well put

believe me, everyone knows about 'steely dan'. where you guys been. its not the hip secret it once was.

As usual, Nofi's cryptic posting had me wondering. So I googled "steely dan".

"proper name of a steam powered dildo"

And now feel soiled and used.

Naive as I am, I had wondered what the Naked Lunch references had to do with the whole thing. Once again: This forum is a cesspool of bad taste and adolescent innuendo.

That's why I feel so at home here.

When Kenny first posted that Burroughs had a lot to answer for, it didn't immediately occur to me, either that he was alluding to the William S. Burroughs--Naked Lunch--Steely Dan connection. But it became obvious when I read his post the second time.

You said innuendo...

He fits in just perfect here.

If I could I would...

... post Danny Kootch's title track to his Innuendo LP, but it's not UP so I can't...

... and if you don't know the LP that's your problem... one of those great "lost" recordings...

Great quotes:

"Love goes out the door when money comes innuendo."

Maybe I shouldn't have had that third gin & tonic at the social tonight.

Things not to say on the first date: "Can I try it innuendo?"

Highlander · March 25, 2014, 06:34:23 PM

It all comes to pass, innuendo...

Then there's the two Irishmen - Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald

uwe · March 26, 2014, 03:55:12 AM

Ireland has room for anything.

I remeber having exactly this Doobie Brothers poster in my room as a youth, it epitomized live stage rock excitement to me at a time when I basically just knew Listen to the Music from them:

Apparently the Thunderbird so prominently displayed also made an impression on that youth.

uwe · March 26, 2014, 07:33:35 AM

It was actually the first Thunderbird I consciously recognized. Back then, a Ric 4001 was still my elusive dream bass.

A lot of people can't stand McDonald (mostly people who were into the Doobies before he was in the band), but I don't mind a lot of the earlier stuff with him. They were a really good band. My band does Long Train at almost every show, and it always goes over, regardless of age/gender/race.
