The song is about a drug bust in 1966 at Fagen and Becker's school, (Bard college, in which they and other students were involved) at Annandale on Hudson (Upstate NY.) G. Gordon Liddy (Daddy Gee in the song) a historical figure who lead the burglary of The Watergate hotel for Nixon, (6 yrs.later) against the Democratic Party, was the prosecutor in the case against the students...He also got a 20 year sentence for his involvement in Watergate, but it was commuted down to 8 yrs., by President Carter, but only served 4 1/2 yrs...Fagen wrote the song because he was pissed that the school planted an undercover cop, (there was a war against "Long-hairs" at the time) and they refused to bail his girlfriend out, since she had nothing to do with it...His case had already been dropped...Sidebar: G.Gordon Liddy was a political psycho. During the case he shot a revolver into the ceiling of the courtroom, but was only reprimanded. Them's were different times!.
Don't forget "Guadalajara won't do...." Fagan wanted to have his girlfriend skip court and flee to Mexico but she wouldn't go.
I have been listening to Dan for the last 40 some odd years, and always wondered what this song was about. Thanks!
@@jacksprat418-ju5qo Drugs and illegal activities are the basis for several Becker--Fagen songs ("Kid Charlemagne", "The Boston Rag", others).
@@steelers6titles "Glamour Profession," too.
@@Umptyscope yeah, I was thinking of that one, too.
Hard to believe the guy playing lead guitar went from Steely Dan, to The Doobie Brothers, to being a consultant for the Dept. of Defense and was in fact designing missile guidance systems while he was with Steely Dan. (Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.)
People like that don't come along every day.
I grew up with the best music. Steely Dan is smooth.
Steely Dan- Don't Take Me Alive is another classic. Definitely a rocker.
That's Skunk Baxter laying down those all-timer guitar solos. So freaking cool.
One of my favorite Steely Dan songs. Thanks for posting.
My favorite Steely Dan ....Year I graduated...73
Steely Dan is your favorite bands, favorite band....
They really don't write a bad song. Each one is full of funk, rock, blues, pop. There's always some extra sauce coming from the lead, chorus, back beat. Never a dull moment in a Dan tune.
I bought this album in 73.....this is a cool young lady 😀
When it's Steely Dan, you know it's gonna bounce. How fast and how high is the only question.
As a DJ for more than thirty years, I've come in contact with every genre imaginable. Music from the 70s is, in my opinion, the absolute BEST. You had real musicians playing real music. Most people don't realize this but Donald Fagen was so particular about his recordings that he would spend days if not months getting just one part of the song correct. It was brutal but the result was short of absolutely perfect. If you get an opportunity to see Steely Dan in concert, I highly recommend it, even though Becker is gone now. May he rest in peace.
The guitar solos in this made me want to learn guitar! Never heard or felt anything like 'em.
I actually live in Guadalajara Mexico & I'm NEVER goin' back to my old school. And that filthy guitar!!!! So good!
"Bodhisattva," is another great jam off that album. Lotsa cool sounds in that one!
The genius of this song for me has always been that incredible instrumental duel between Jeff "Skunk" Baxter's lead guitar and Jimmie Haskell's absolutely brilliant horn arrangement. This song only went to #63 on the singles chart in 1973, but over the years has become every Steely Dan tribute band's crowd-pleasing set closer.
This song is about Bard College, where Becker and Fagen met. Two Bard alums in my family.
I was at Bard when Fagan and Becker were there. Years later, when Fagan received an honorary degree from Bard, Becker said something like, "I don't expect them to give me an honorary degree, but couldn't they give me, like, a lifetime pass to the Dining Commons?"
Steely Dan is one of those bands that doesn't have a weak song. I hope "Haitian Divorce" is next. 😊
Agree 100%. "Haitian Divorce" conjures up a dark, funky island gumbo so thick it might clog your headphones. Haunting. I get goosebumps the last 30 seconds- every time.
Good call, Details is what this band was all about. They were so complex, ahead of their time even if you released it today!
Steely Dan was a very innovative Band. First of all, they were excellent Musicians who happened to be very meticulous in the Recording Studio. They were Two Friends who met in Collage in the late 1960's and really hit it big. Their names are Donald Fagen and Walter Beckett. I'm a Steely Dan Fan! But Elvis is still, The KING!
What? First it was Becker not Beckett, second not sure how much of a Dan Fan you are and third the king of Rock and Roll was Chuck Berry, who wrote Johnny B. Good, not Elvis who wrote nothing and barely played guitar.
Babylon Sister, Home at Last, Aja, Don't take me alive, all great songs that are a must.
I love her reaction! Lol...shes a Dan fan now for sure...welcome to the club!
The boys brought it all on this one. Love this one from SD. Great reaction too.
What to do next from Steely Dan? So many great choices. You can pretty much pick any album, any track and find something great. Maybe try "Show Biz Kids", "Kid Charlemagne", "Dr. Wu", "Your Gold Teeth", "Your Gold Teeth II", "Josie", "I Got The News" or "Hattian Divorce". ...or anything else from any of their albums!
Your reaction to this is amazing! Like adrenaline OD performance art! Ok I’ll shut up. OTT quota met.
Jeff "Skunk" Baxter does the skittering guitar solo.
I love the fact that you are digging on old school, like when i was younger
I'm 52 years old and I still air guitar Steely Dan, too! 😎
It’s the anniversary of Jimi Hendrix passing. Maybe do All Along the Watchtower. Great reactions and channel
Jeff Baxter used to play bass with Hendrix.
BachRock The America Hater's Antagonist wow I didn’t know that. Good connection there
The anniversary was on September 18.
In all your vids, I like how you go into a trance, but are still able to focus and hear what is going on...
Bard College! Hudson Valley NY. They had a band with a drummer named..Chevy Chase!
These guys are just flat out good.
Green Earrings. I'll bring it up every time you react to SD. I promise you it has THE best groove of any of their songs.
Eileen Dobbs FM is up there too! Haitian Divorce... but yeah Green Earrings is tasty.
I agree totally. YOU MUST REACT TO GREEN EARRINGS. Honestly you will not regret it
Sheer perfection!
You are all over my Pandora play list.
Jeff “Skunk” Baxter on lead guitar was also guitarist for The Doobie Brothers. He’s now a highly paid missile defense consultant for The Pentagon.
"skunk works" - that's a whole nother' story -lol
Brian N
What kind of smart ass comment is that!
@@bachrocktheamericahatersan5799 simma dow. Is he your best friend?
just chillin no one is talking to you. Go back to just chillin.
@@briann7495 Pretty clever, actually!
"Woooo, like, woooo!"
Best description l've ever come across for this song.
They could do it all.....music everywhere.That album Can’t Buy A Thrill is in the top 5 of all time.I love when you say” Fire”.
Not only were they phenomenal musicians but their lyrics were SO far ahead of their time it’s why they are as relevant today as 40 yrs ago. The reason they didn’t tour early on was they were not well known and were basically Becker and Fagan and a bunch of unknown at the time studio musicians
That's how you react to this song!
Awesome Scribe《☆》I like the California reference about tumbling into the sea🙏Referring to the San Andreas fault :*: Greetings from⛾Florida🤳my friend🤓🎱🔊☮✌👍🏾
Fun! It's been a long time!
My favorite Steely Dan lyric is:
"You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean"
From "Reelin' In The Years"
My second favorite lyric is:
"Turn up the Eagles; the neighbors are listening"
on their song "Everything You Did."
And the Eagles responded in kind in their hit "Hotel California:"
"They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast."
If not mistaken. Annandale is a reference to a medium security prison in NJ . Visited a friend up there . They also have a female wing . My friend crazy Cindy told her cell mate she ain't gay for the stay . Proper lines of boundaries needed to be established on the first day .
your reaction is the same one i had 45 yrs ago.....this'll never get old.....if you keep lovin stuff like this i'm gonna fall in love with you.....and i love how you can pick the little things you her in the background....that's what first got me when a friend played it for me....i heard those and had to teach him to listen......as an artist i'm glad you have the ear to see how they made this song......keep up the good work little dog....big dog is watchin and lovin.......try american band from grand funk.....
Apparently the person who made the video you're watching doesn't know what album this song is on. It keeps showing the cover for Can't buy A Thrill, but it was on the far superior Countdown To Ecstasy. Weird that someone would make a video for a band they clearly enjoy, but not know the album. Great reaction on your part. Glad to see you aee discovering the greatest American band of all time. Enjoy the rabbit hole ride.
That’s the GREAT - skunk Baxter on guitar - he was kicked out by the singer and bassist!! Saw this unit ! Awesome!! Still miss Skunk!!!
He’s with The Pentagon as a defense consultant.
Yeah I know - but missed him when got canned for hanging out with the Doobie Brothers...
That outdoor shopping mall is Old Orchard in Skokie, Il. I used to go there all the time back in the day. I still live 20 minutes from there. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that anymore.
Aja (the title track from the album)
Dr Wu
trust me!
Man you gotta do The Caves of Altmira, Midnite Crusier. You'll love those.
Black Friday, Kid Charlemagne, West of Hollywood
West of Hollywood is very underrated.
I saw these guys FOUR times! in concert. Talk about breathless. Love your reactions. Ciao for now. Check BABYLON SISTERS. 💕🎶👍✌
Love this song. Thx&see ya😀
Check out Babylon Sisters.
Don’t take me Alive.
Fm, daddy don't live in that New York City no more, caves of altimira... all of them!
FM 🔝
About... Jack of Speed...another great Song...
You’re just getting started in the Steely Dan musical goldmine dear, Don’t forget Donald Fagen‘s solo efforts also including the much more recent album MORPH THE CAT; well worth checking out from start to finish! Remember, “they” never actually were a “band” except for the very very beginning……… That was almost 50 years ago!
My Old School immortalizes the Cha, Cha,Cha....... sth else from the 60s.......
You should hear the song "AJA" . Best drums you will ever hear
Steve Gadd...OMG
Check out Morphine - Buena.
Now back to The Dan.
Check out Haitian divorce. I think you would enjoy it.❤
Excellent taste. You have good taste too. Dark funky island gumbo imagery. Voodoo never sounded so good.
William and Mary wont do. LOL That is a college in Virginia. Am I surprised? Absolutely
Bard was called the "William and Mary" of the north.
Best musicians, best writing, best arrangements, best production, smartest lyrics, I guess they're okay...)) I think ya gotta do "Black Friday" if ya liked "My Old School" (and how in the world could ya not)?
"Josie", you won't be sorry.
Check her past videos😎
Aja...how have you not listened to Aja yet...
Don’t Take Me Alive from the Royal Scam album is a good one to do
Best guitar work on any Steely Dan song. Larry Carlton on solo
Ed 007 absolutely... The whole Royal Scam album is awesome 😊
Sabjit Athwal yes amazing album. I love the first five albums
Denny Diaz and Skunk Baxter folks.
About a huge undercover drug bust that went down when he was in college in the sixties. His GF ratted them all out and the college helped with the undercover investigation. So he left and never went back.
“I didn’t think the girl could be so cruel I’m NEVER going back to my old school”
He felt betrayed.
Of course he wanted to go to Guadalajara. He got into trouble with G. Gordon Liddy, the guy who masterminded the Watergate scandal that President Nixon resigned over. Liddy was a local prosecutor and in the mood to bust long-haired hippie types for smoking pot. Liddy was always in the mood to arrest hippies. His bandmate got sent to jail, but he didn't get busted. The song is about how he resented the college for allowing the students to get arrested. He said he would never go back until California slid into the sea. Ironically, many years later he was awarded an honorary degree from the same college.
next up, "razor boy" and "kid charlemagne." :)
I wish more people.could appreciate the genius of "Razor Boy"
@@timsullivan67 RIGHT? thank the gods, i'm not alone.
Kim, loved this band since high school and seen them 5 times...hasn't been the same since Becker passed! Glad someone else loves them like I do!
no, it hasn't been. becker and fagan WERE steely dan. but i guess i'm just singing a song of the past.
We of 'The Dan'... can be snobbish.I'll wear that.
When you have Patti Austin and Valerie Simpson and Michael McDonald as back up vocalists...
Not to mention the small army of incredibly talented musicians that wander in and out of the line up...yeah.
Love Steely Dan, but it used to piss me off that they refused to tour to support their albums.
Eventually they did hit the road, but it was LONG after all their great tunes were released.
I am with the "Haitian Divorce" crowd. This song has some stank on it. Your headphones gonna smell like tears and gumbo. Its voodoo-licious.
"So.In love.The preachers face turned red"
Gary Katz was one of the greatest record producers ever, and no one says it.
You have a lovely contralto, but you're lookin' rough. It's three years later, I hope you're feeling better. That's a bouffant hairstyle. My sister wore it. I was a hippy.
IF YOUR TOE IS NOT TAPPING SOMEWHERE IN THIS SONG....YOU'RE DEAD.....GO LISTEN TO MOZART
haitian divorce is the bomb (skunk baxter not withstanding ) for me
I'll have what she's having
Cash girl do you read your PayPal messages??
