Apr 28, 2012 - you are meandering and just going on about nothing

Apr 28, 2012 - no, i was answering a question about the meaning of the lyrics...meandering means going on about nothing...there are dictionaries online, if you use one, you probably won't look so stupid next time...if you want the facts, put your trolling aside and use the internet for what it's there for, and look up some interviews with fagen and/or becker or some history on steely dan instead of trying to impress yourself by using big words you don't understand...

likesspice73 Says:

Apr 28, 2012 - actually you were spouting nonsense, quite a common on the internet and I suspect you are good at it. I have seen so many people here "claim" facts that have no basis in anything. so lets get to the point...can you site any factual basis for your 35 sweet goodbyes claim? and please also note no one asked you to explain the lyrics you just volunteered to stoke your ego, which I suspect is enormous.

Apr 28, 2012 - Amen! And not a bad lesson on how to punctuate a song masterfully with an enthusiastic horn section.

May 2, 2012 - One of my favorite guitar solos, (all four of them). So slick, and so tongue in cheek too! One of a kind.

May 5, 2012 - the 35 sweet goodbyes claim is from a message board regarding steely dan, which links to an article on ew (dot) com (which is entertainment weekly)...if it's nonsense, it's not my nonsense, just repeating what someone else stated, i wasn't there and certainly don't have a written, notarized statement from donald on the matter, if that's what you mean...and please also note no one asked you to offer the reply you just volunteered to stoke your ego, which I suspect is enormous.

May 5, 2012 - since you didnt post any links it means you dont have any proof. also something posted on a message board is not definitive and is certaintanly not to be beleived. yes no one asked me to reply to your board but no asked you to post your original ignorant post. I have seen so many people on you tube posting nonsense but coaching it as "I know this for a fact". frankly I am sick of this sort of thing. braggarts and liars I have no time for. you asked me privatly to add you as a contact, why?

May 5, 2012 - You both are stupid assholes. How about that?

LynnieLousMusic Says:

May 6, 2012 - My favorite (guitar solo) by Steely Dan and definitely in my all-time top 5....Reeling in the Years!

likesspice73 Says:

May 6, 2012 - lol, glad to know it. now I notice you didnt message him so that says a lot right there. tell him I am amused.

May 7, 2012 - that makes about as much sense as National Treasure

May 11, 2012 - Excellent video. The very first school looks to me like Lincoln HS in Brooklyn. Is it?

MrToasty1337 Says:

May 12, 2012 - Actually, he's right about the reference to oral sex. Evidence: the original lyric WAS "34.5 sweet goodbyes". I have been a fan for ages and met Becker on one occaision. But if you want to feel smart, go ahead and ignore me.

likesspice73 Says:

May 12, 2012 - I wont ignore you, i love to refute ignorance. so let me ask you...where is your proof. I am an older guy I had the original album and I did see the original words. sorry to burst your bubble but it did not say 34.5 sweet goodbyes. so in essence you are incorrect and he is still incorrect. I am curious why you felt like you had to throw in that you you met Becker, does that mean you are automaticly an expert? I met dave thomas but that doesnt make me an expert on wendy's. big mac anyone?

May 13, 2012 - your history is off I saw them in concert opening for the beach boys in 1973

May 13, 2012 - I just like the song and the video sodapop74 made. It rocks out. Don't know anything else about the song.

AnnieVeeAy Says:

May 15, 2012 - One of my favorite songs from the year I was never goin' back (you know where).BTW-- "My Old School" is on SD's COUNTDOWN TO ECSTASY album. Still their best effort, IMO.

May 19, 2012 - How have you two monkeys lost your mind ? Are you out of your tree again? Great, right! Now piss off, enjoy the tune, and shut the fcck up.

Kcorcor100 Says:

May 19, 2012 - Why are people arguing here? This is just another terrific SD song. Clever, cryptic lyrics. Awesome groove. Great saxophone. Just enjoy the tune, folks.

May 20, 2012 - I know I'm just kicking back loving the music.

May 22, 2012 - So true. Why the Drama? California tumbles into the sea and people are arguing about the petty.
