Been on freerepublic for a LONG time. Adding a like button for posts would make this great platform 1000 times better.
Bump
Was Donald Fagan’s autobiography suggested by Dr.Wu or Haitian Divorce?
I think you know what I mean. :::Wink :::nod nod
Same here.
Hubby took me to see them in Birmingham, UK for my B’day. 3rd row center in an arena. Fab!
I’ve seen that band 4 times over the last 20 odd years. Incredible musicianship and great shows but they never played my favorite song of theirs, Deacon Blues which was kinda disappointing. Was lucky enough to see them before Becker passed on which I am grateful for.
I lucked into a pair of tickets for the Eagles here in Omaha in February at the last minute. My buddy and his wife both had the ‘vid so I got a $3k pair of tickets for free. I ended taking my nephew cuz my wife was also sick. He is in his late thirties. I told him that he got to see two of the best bands of the seventies that night and he was highly impressed. Sure wish they would have played Deacon Blues though.....
An impressively shallow article. I went to the link assuming there was more, but nope.
Why Birmingham?
Two of my favorite bands are Genesis and Steely Dan.
They are the only two bands I know of who have referenced “Squonk” in their songs.
I loved Steely Dan the first time I heard them. They never produced a bad song.
Birmingham, England. They performed there. I used to live in the UK at the time.
I loved Genesis, too.
Until you mentioned it, I never noticed that Steely Dan also referenced the “Squonk” in a song.
The closest thing to a love song Steely Dan ever did “Pearl of The Quarter”
Skunk’s pedal steel solo was fantastic.
Probably my favorite SD song of all is “King Of The World”.
Maybe he had The Birmingham Blues.
(Going to see ELO next week)
Great seats! :-)
I think their lyrics are a big reason why their songs work.
That is a really good song (King of the World).

Here At The Western World is another good, one, it was on one of their Greatest Hits collections, but not on any of the albums.
