I knew that was what it was before I even clicked!

Aja is my favorite Steely Dan album.........

[dfwgator]

I figured you would.

[Red Badger]

We just called them Root Beer Floats.................

[Red Badger]

I played the hell out of that LP.................

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

So outrageous.

[Magnum44]

Cultural appropriation, eh?

[Red Badger]

Well, that is where we get the ice cream from....................

[dfwgator]

We all did.

[Red Badger]

I just wish I had gotten to see them live..................

[Magnum44]

Saw them about 4 or 5 years ago, of course ‘them’ wasnt all of them anymore.

Here in Michigan, a Black Cow was Coke and ice cream, in a blender. With root beer, it was called a Brown Cow. With Vernors, it was called a Boston Cooler (even though they didn’t know what Vernors was in Boston.)

This is the only 'Black Cow' I ever knew of:

time for Steely Dan. :)

[ETCM]

Just when it seems so clear
That it’s over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

I still have it on vinyl, and just saw Steely Dan open for the Eagles early this year. Still sound great. It seems almost every time I spin up the turntable, Aja ends up on the platter at some point.

I think the Doobies are now opening for the eagles
