Steely Dan, Reprise (36 of 50, 100 word post)

A ride yesterday with my son the drummer gave me a different angle on my recent Steely Dan re-fascination. I put the Greatest Hits album on random play trusting my thrash-metal middle son would be tolerant on a short trip. Halfway through Peg he said, “You know that drumming sounds simple, but it’s really hard to do. Steely Dan has some good musicians.” As Bodhisattva he said, “Now this one I know. It’s the only song I’d rather play on guitar than drums in Rock Band. Lots of great solos.” Then I remembered that Rock Band has made everything contemporary.
