    This entire album is a Masterpiece, can't wait to see your reaction to "Green Earrings". Owsley Stanley, a chemist brought LSD to the San Francisco area in the early 60's, and
    introduced tripping to the hippie culture. He was also a roadie for the Grateful Dead. However his fame caught the attention of the Feds, so ends the song, "Is there gas in the car"

      "...yes there's gas in the car...I think the people down the hall know who you are", funny thing I was a Steely Dan fan since the '70's as a kid, my mom had a killer record collection, yet didn't know what or whom this song was about for a long time, even years after discovering the magic and majesty of lysergic, Owsley is now a hero of mine, get along Kid Charlemagne indeed.

    Let’s face it, if an R nB artist or a rapper then Steely Dan is your go to if you want a sample. Fagen and Becker were the funkiest white guys on the planet. Do more Dan! ❤

    This song was also sampled by some rappers...can't recall who. You answered my question. This is my favorite by them, dig in. Also the great Larry Carlton on guitar. Enjoying your analytics of music.

    Great groove to this tune. The drum beat is fire mixed with the jazz great Larry Carlton's guitar work ( legendary ) is off the hook.

      Larry Carlton is superb here, that solo is just top notch guitar virtuosity

    This and Black Cow are my favorites by this band. I enjoyed your reaction when you realized it had been sampled! The song is about Owsley Stanley. He was a roadie for The Grateful Dead. He was known in San Francisco for making the best LSD and was the main supplier to the Haight-Ashbury district during the 60s. The line “Look at all the white men on the street” referred to when cocaine took over.

    Such incredible musicianship, they had the best session players to create the ultimate ensemble band for each song and album, Larry Carlton just blows me away with his guitar playing on this one, so advanced but tasty and groovy, great tribute for Owsley.

    I'm old school. REALLY old school. I think sampling should be outlawed. Write your own damn music and play your own damn instruments.
    But anyway, I LOVE Steely Dan, and this track in particular, and I'm glad you did too.

  • @paullacroix527

    Great song from Donald and Walter. BTW, listen to 'Black Cow' by SD if you want to hear another sample. Glad you found these guys, top notch..

    Dem Boys Cold. Blooded everyday of the week, my cermaics teacher turned me on to them (many moons ago) My favorite band, this one a killer. Caves of Altamira that one tho.

    its funny cause back in the 80s a lot of black people when subwoofers got popular would be rockin steely dan and from florida when i move to new mexico they'd be rockin Stevie ray Vaughn ,that struck me in awe becuase it wasnt a thing but it was normal to them ,it kinda stuck out in a good way

  • @briangray00
    @briangray00 Рік тому +4

    Genius? Yes it is.
    Yacht rock wants to be this, but isn't. It's a fantastic song off from (maybe) their best LP. I think they really hit their stride right here and on the rest of the Royal Scam.
    Funk? Yes there is. Perhaps do Green Earrings next,.

    Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
    You turned it on the world…
    No other interpretation than LSD. Not Psylicybin or other natural substance…Chemistry.
    Those test tubes and the scales
    Get ‘em all out of here….
    You caught on quickly. I’ve only heard this song hundreds of times and I still don’t fully get it - but it’s poetry open to interpretation and templates.

    great reaction. most steely dan obsessives will tell you this is one of their greatest songs, especially the larry carlton guitar solo, which is very famous. more background on the track here > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Charlemagne
