Just as a reminder, in this (as in so many of your pronouncements) you are wrong. Jerry fucking Garcia never penned a line have as wonderful as "I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets/Make love to these women, so languid and bittersweet." The singer is like Flower, fer chrissakes.

Anyway, carry on.

Not, Not, Not, Not, Not. The children just don't get Steely Dan the way we don't get the way they listen to 1,000 different versions of the same song (cf., Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand, etc.) and call it all fresh.

Don't be absurd. The top half is kosher, the lower half is treyf. This baby was eaten by a goy. Does anyone know where Hank was before the shot was taken?

• One night, we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire
  And I decided to make my play.
  I said, "Babe, with my boyish charm and good looks,
  How can you stand it for one more day?"
  She said, "Maybe it's the skeevy look in your eyes
  Or that your mind has turned to applesauce,
  The dreary architecture of your soul . . . ."
  I said, "But what is it exactly turns you off?"

My favorites: the spinners and the guys who wore batik "skirts" with no shirts (hot, but usually doped, wandering around looking for a Miracle). Was never really into Dead music - mostly just went for the concert fun (and the shopping as I was into the bohemian look and never met a long skirt and Jesus sandals I didn't love). Anyhow, Cat in the Hats were usually worn by fat guys. Why is that?

Speaking of Bread and Steely Dan, I admit to loving a double bill concert of Chicago and Doobie Brothers (with Michael McDonald and I think Kenny Loggins too). I know we're talking about:



...which is HOLY SHIT QUITE POSSIBLY THE GAYEST ALBUM COVER OF ALL TIME....

...but I swear that concert kicked ass. The loud brass of Chicago was awesome on a cool summer night and damn they are talented, rising to the loudest on Beginnings.

1975. Double bill: Chicago and the Beach Boys. I'm at the Amphitheatre with my cool uncle and his girlfriend (the one who always wears the loose, gauzy peasant blouses and no bra) and I'm getting high with them, and everything is cool, and my uncle turns to me and says "You know I really love you because these guys really suck."

I still like the Beach Boys.

• During a Q&A session, a woman asked how many times he’d been married.
  
  “Twice,” he answered, clearly disappointing her, “but I’ll tell you a story about how I knew the first one was over.”
  
  And with that Pete Dexter began talking about the time he wrestled a bear.
  
  See, Dexter was writing about a man who wrestled bears. This man thought that in order to write about it, he ought to do it. So Dexter, after suffering under the bear for a while (“You can’t believe how strong a bear is,” he said), sort of fell in love with the animal and its handlers, and brought them all home.
  
  His wife was asleep. But in what his brother might call a “flight of whimsy,” he ushered the bear into his wife’s bedroom. Then he left the room and closed the door.
  
  “She came out a few minutes later,” he said, “and she was just silent. And I thought, ‘You know, that’s about as good as I get in a relationship, putting a bear in the bedroom, and if she doesn’t enjoy this, I’m not sure this is going to work.’”

eta:

• Last he heard, his first wife had married a guy who holds up “SLOW” signs at construction sites. “I understand she’s very happy,” said Dexter. “So it all worked out.”

One more minute may be the difference between an "adequate'' lover and an unsatisfactorily short performer, according to a new survey in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

This, of course, reminds me of Newsradio (*sniff*):


Dave: "Bill McNeil is ...adequate... I'm sorry Bill."

Bill: "Sorry? Sorry, you weren't singled out and deemed adequate?"

"...After all adequacy is the hallmark of great journalism."

"What is adequate journalism if not great journalism?"

"We'll finish this later, after I fulfill my duties with my customary adequaucivity."

"It's one thing, of course, to know you're adequate, but, to have a fellow member of the press stand up and say 'Yes, you sir are adequate,' Let me tell you it is a very special feeling."

"Well, I'm off to astonish the world with more feats of adequataqaticism."

Dave: "Everything going adequately?"

Bill: "Very adequately sir, I'm virtually bursting with adequatulence."

"...Ok, look, you think I don't know adequate sucks."

It's a fine line between genius and retard. Cf. redheaded stepkid.

Most Excellent. I am going to see Kids in the Hall in a few weeks and you just reminded me of how I am looking forward to it.

In using "steaming hot" are you intending to evoke a pile of dog shit steaming in the snow?

It's probably just me. I hope it's just me.
