    The lyrics are a satirical take on people who think that they've suddenly found "The Way" and are ready to give everything up to follow the latest guru du jour.

    They were perfectionists in the studio. Nothing got on the vinyl until it was right.

    Steely Dan put out a lot of great songs! IMO, this is definitely one of my favorites. The guitar work is second to none! Nobody knew how to fuse jazz and rock together better than these guys! ✌️

    Steely Dan is the band musicians listen to at home.

    Bodhisattva is (in Mahayana Buddhism) a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings.

    Love this song! Maybe my favorite tune from the Dan. All I know is that for the past 45 years any time I hear this I must crank up the volume!

      Denny Dias does solo #1 about a minute and a half into the song. Skunk does the second one near the end to the outro of the song.

      Same! Seems like I haven't heard it since before 2000 (for no good reason, either. It just slipped away from me).

    Nothing to see here folks. Just another incredibly talented musical group doing their thing. Just kidding. S.D. is another of our favorite Prog Rock bands that produced some exceptional work.

    Skunk Baxter shreds the hell out of the guitar work on this. Because of the quick scale runs in it, I’ve always wondered what a country version might sound like, with a pedal steel guitar ripping through all those notes. Either way, it’s one of the most intense Dan songs in their catalog. A real jam.

    I bought this album the week it came out. We played Bodhisattva during swimming practice and would end up with people dancing in the bleachers. I still love it so much.

    Steely Dan consisted of the great Donald Fagen, the lead vocalist who also played keyboards, and Walter Becker who played bass and other guitar, and both wrote the songs. They also had an epic array of session musicians who worked on their albums. They rarely toured and they really didn't have to because ther following was so massive from their play on 70's FM and their monster AM hits. So many great songs but my particular favorites are My Old School, Showbiz Kids, Aja and Deacon Blues.

    The drummer Bernard Purdy was a genius. Check out his video on the Purdy shuffle. Nice reaction video-saw how it made your “eyes sparkle”

      @shereewilson6278 Місяць тому +1

      Jim Hodder is drummer of this song .Steely Dans first and most underrated drummer in my opinion Purdy came later .It gets really confusing as they used so many great musicians.

    Great tune, JMBOY - I love the guitar solo in this song, too. Steely Dan always gets the best studio musicians to lay down the sound. Denny Dias starts the beginning of the solo, and the
    iconic Skunk Baxter crushes the burning climactic conquistador-like ending. Steely Dan's guitar solos are too often overlooked for their difficulty.

    🎉 Steely Dan will be on your Top 10 list of all times!!! One suggestion: Think about using the ORIGINAL album covers in the future. The “Countdown to Ecstasy” album cover, for example, is infinitely better than a “box set” or “greatest hits” album cover. If you’re going to learn about our music, you might as well learn EVERYTHING! When I hear a song, the first thing that pops into my mind is the album cover…because I’ve seen it and handled it for DECADES. Back-in-the-day, albums had a ton of information…like lyrics, photos, etc. Enjoy your “continuing education”‼️

    • @PolferiferusII
      @PolferiferusII 8 місяців тому +1

      Some album covers even had pop-up art-type of media. Alice Cooper's 'From the Inside' had interactive pop-up art-type stuff (front doors made of his face to open from the middle of the album; a window on the inside you open with Alice inside a rubber room wearing a straight jacket; and "For Moonie" [Keith Moon] scrawled on the reverse side of the window). It's amazing how creative covers could be.

      @@PolferiferusII Don’t forget about Cheech & Chong’s “Big Bamboo” John Wayne-sized rolling paper…and the fact that a double album cover could sift seeds!!! (Little “generational” things like this will be lost to history when we are gone…unfortunately.)

    The Bodhsattva is the Enlightened Spirit who has opted to delay the transition to his next incarnation toward the Godhead in order than he may enlighten others and accompany them on their path. Everyone must encounter the Bodhi before they can encounter the Buddha. The Bodhi will reveal himself as the Compassionate Spirit, since the corporeal sellf cannot transition without compassion and must be taught by example. The Buddha on the other hand, who is all-compassionate yet cunningly just, may chose not to reveal himself, yet has laid the Path itself.
