Further proof that rock music does not kill brain cells...

Musician turned defense analyst, Jeff Baxter. Cool! Even though I hate Steely Dan.......

Did they make him take a pee test?

I'd say that had been covered:
Mr. Baxter, backed by several lawmakers, got a series of classified security clearances. During one background interview, Mr. Baxter says, he was asked whether he could be bribed with money or drugs. He recalls telling the investigators not to worry because he had already "been there, done that, and given away the T-shirt" during his rock career.

As in "I've done so many drugs they no longer have any effect".

As long as he kept his underwear. No need flinging that around.

I wonder if he quotes Fagan every once in a while:

I'm reading leftist papers
Although I don't know why
Assassins, cons, and rapers
Might as well die

LOLOL...ok, that's why it didn't make too much sense... My copy of Countdown to Ecstasy doesn't have the lyrics. Thanks (and boy am I a sheepish bug).

Not to worry, Nightfly. You can always go here and add your lyrics.

They sucked, and the local radio station is plsying them into the ground. I never liked them to begin with, and now after all these years, I get stuck having to hear them at least once a day. I prefer to change the station and listen to a commercial, rather than suffer thru them any more. They may have one or two decent songs, but none come to mind.

Heathen.

Steely dan makes me barf. Nightfly just proved he's a better lyricist.

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 26, 2005 10:54 PM

Heathen.

If good taste in music qualifies me for that title, I wear the badge proudly. Tho' at the end of the day, Steely Dan still sucks....

I'm with Ken on this - I own all of the Dan's albums (though Fagan is a dirty old man). Y'all should be listening to the stuff that didn't get airplay, like "Daddy Don't Live in That NYC No More." But in deference to the Coalition, I promise, no quoting. (And Ms. Sister, you made me laugh with that last post.)

Sooo....I'm off to add my lyrics, 'cause Steely Dan lyrics are odd...
(I hear that they are lyrically queer, from Bings and the Swilling Squad)...

Stick to it or we shall taunt you a second time.

You are a brave man to admit that in public. but Steely Dan still sucks. Thank God they were not playing them on the radio this morning. Maybe I can have one day without having to hear them...

Posted by: Crusader at May 27, 2005 12:33 PM

Nightfly, we succeeded in irritating Crusader. Let's go back, Jack, do it again.

Posted by: Ken Summers at May 27, 2005 04:44 PM

Then we'll buy some bad sneakers and a PiƱa Colada, my friend.

Posted by: Ken Summers at May 27, 2005 04:58 PM

Hmm. I guess I haven't followed those guys for a while. I hadn't even seen this one before.
