Augie Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 RIP. Saw them a couple years ago on a warm summer night at an amphitheater. We took our college aged son and asked him what he thought. The response we got: "it's like elevator music without the air conditioning." Kids...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Starkweather of rock 'n' rock? A natural born killer when it came to musical talent! Both of them changed rock 'n' forever. RIP. http://steelydanreader.com/1987/04/01/metal-leg-1/ Jay Black (Jay & the Americans) dubbed Donald Fagen and Walter Becker as "the Manson & Starkweather of rock 'n' roll." Ha!

The Dean Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 A dark day for music, indeed. Becker added much of the darkness and snark in Steely Dan's music. His second solo album, Circus Money, is criminally underrated/relatively unknown. RIP, Walt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Got my tickets for the Shea's show now this. This sucks Me too. Such sad news. Been playing the catalog non-stop since this morning. Sounds like DF wants to carry on, so it could be a bittersweet / amazing night if the show's still on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
