Without a doubt, one of the greatest albums of all time! I’m going to guess I’ve listened to it 2,000 times, and it never gets old...
Very well. Wish granted. Here you go...
If you invested $10,000 in S&P 500 in 1982 (and did nothing else while re-investing divends), you'd have a million dollars today. Not $1,000.
Love Steely Dan and Donald Fagen...love their perfection and the way they used the best studio musicians in LA to get the sound just right.
I lived in New York and we all wore the same Brooks Brothers suits, blue blazers and khakis we had always worn (except perhaps for those visits to discos in the 1970's).
Great song, great album. Becker was dealing with his heroin problem, which is a lot of what broke up Steely Dan.
Great song!
And don’t apologize for using Youtube for music. Rumble will never have the sheer numbers of music videos Youtube has.
If FReepers don’t want to go there, they can skip these posts, just don’t shoot the messenger!
We'll be clean when that work is done
We'll be eternally free,
and eternally young, ooooh.
“Ninety Minutes from New York to Paris”
Still hasn’t happened for civilians. The SR-71 did New York to London in 1 hour 54 minutes in 1974. I took the Concorde from London to DC and it took 3 hours and 45 minutes.
I thought this song did a better job predicting the future;
Manfer Mann - “Lies (Through The 80s)

I love that CD!
Sorry, I ain’t wearing spandex until my car flies and makes that Jetson noise.
Only then will you be forced to see me in spandex. One for everyone.
I always hated this song. Love Steely Dan, but I hate this particular song.
I prefer New Frontier from that album myself.

New Frontier
Donald Fagen
Yes we’re gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground
It’s just a dugout that my dad built
In case the reds decide to push the button down
We’ve got provisions and lots of beer
The key word is survival on the new frontier
