Also steely dan is the best band qtiyd or don't I don't care

Bodhishatva (gently caress spelling that right) is my favorite.



My only fun fact is that Chevy Chase was their drummer(?) and quit it saying that they would go nowhere.

Steely Dan sucks and if you don't come to that conclusion within twenty seconds of hearing your first song of theirs, IDKW.
Aja is good though.

You should have posted a video for those lucky enough to have avoided her song so far.

Er no, he was in a band with becker and fagen but Steely Dan is exclusively becker + fagen + hired studio guns

(except for the false start that is Can't Buy a Thrill)

Here they are making fun of different studio guitarists trying to cut a solo for Peg

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
The best Chevy Chase involvement with music is the video for Call Me Al by noted Apartheid not-minder Paul Simon.

I just remember this from my childhood back in the 70's. When my family visited older family in the old woods retirement community of southern MO I saw commercials for BBQ sauce (Maull it!), beer Hamm's the beer refreshing, or Barq's root beer.

My Granddad was awesome at grilling chicken over apple and cherry wood, and even though he lived in MO, home of Budweiser, he didn't drink Bud or Pabst, he actually drank Schaefer when he wanted a beer.

Weird, I know.

But the commercials ran so often they make me nostalgic for those old days so many years ago.

Tonight is bourbon and Pixies. Later, maybe some 90's Portland-scene stuff, or Husker Du, or Elliott Smith, or just my entire mp3 library on shuffle.

But definitely more bourbon.

Say, is it true that the Vietnam War ended because officers were getting fragged by their enlisted way too often? Was it because of the differing tastes in music?

I just had an idea for the next Broadway hit: Fragged: The Musical. Differing styles performed live by cast members. Horrors of Vietnam war whitewashed into musical routines. It'll be the best thing to happen to the genre since Springtime for Hitler! :haw:

To be fair Becker does some of the guitar on Fagen's solo work so let's not be *too* preferential.

I come back and I have like five responses taking my intentionally bad analogy seriously. Of course calling 4'33" the end of music is inane hipster nonsense you turds, that's the whole point it's a lousy line of logic

There was an interesting blog post I read a long time ago, and thought I bookmarked, about various mutinies and acts of resistance toward fighting on the part of soldiers during Vietnam, but I guess I lost it at some point. I found this, though, which mentions a few big incidents:
http://militaryhistorynow.com/2013/09/25/no-sir-a-short-history-of-mutinies-in-the-u-s-military/

And here's a summary of a book about GI resistance toward the Vietnam War here, which was the main source for my lost blog post anyway:
http://www.citizen-soldier.org/cortright.html

But yeah there's a good case to be made that part of the reason for the Vietnam War ending is because the US Army's morale was so in the gutter that large numbers of units were simply incapable of effective combat.
