I'll give you one hint, honey, you sure did put on a show

Crying in my coffee because I won't be seeing the Angry Young Man live tonight. 



At least I can try to kick it at karaoke again, like I did a few summers ago.

Hell you talmbout

Say their names.

I'm pretty tough, but the wind is rough

This not-Steely Dan is perfect for August. Or for my next drive down the PCH -- not west on Sunset to the sea, but right beside it.



Lyrically, though, the track is suited for feeling badly in a beautiful place, which I don't, and won't. Those places (dunes, waves) bring me back to center.

Musically, well, let the man speak for himself:



Such beauty and venom, all in one place. The Dan. (and not-Dan).

Retire the fences

Want to stop thinking so much? Listen to this.



First encounter: end credits of this.
