WHY HAS DONALD FAGEN'S DEATH GOTTEN SO MUCH MEDIA ATTENTION?! |
|
Sure, he was a talented songwriter and musician, but does his death really deserve all the press it's gotten? It's not like Donald Fagen was an ex-president or anything! Geez....

All right, let's take this one step at a time.
Think back to Saturday. What public figure died whose name kinda sounds like Donald Fagen's?
Do you get it now? :eyes:

9. Some Fagen Lyrics: This Means Something |
|
Now they lay his body down Sad old men who run this town I still recall the way He led the charge and saved the day Blue blood and rain I can hear the bugle playin'
We seen the last of Good King Richard Ring out the past his name lives on Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher Raise up your glass to Good King John
While he plundered far and wide All his starving children cried And though we sung his fame We all went hungry just the same He meant to shine To the end of the line

It's high time for a walk on the real side Let's admit the bastards beat us I move to dissolve the corporation In a poll of margaritas So let's switch off all the lights And light up all the Luckies Crank'in up the afterglow Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go
Talk about your major pain and suffering Now our self-esteem is shattered Show the world our mighty hidey-ho face As we go sliding down the ladder It was sweet up at the top 'Til that ill wind started blowing Now it's cozy down below Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go
We gave it our best shot But keep in mind we got a lot The sky the moon good food and the weather First-run movies--does anybody get lucky twice? Wouldn't it be nice....
Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy Now it's gone from late to later Frankly I could use a little face time In the service elevator And if Dave from Acquisitions Wants to get in on the action With his Handicam in tow Well we're goin' out of business Everything must go
Can't be the sorry sun is rising Guess it's time for us to book it Talk about the famous road not taken In the end we never took it And if somewhere on the way We got a few good licks in No one's ever gonna know Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go
Becker/Fagen 2003

Of course, this is one of many.
Bodhisattva Would you take me by the hand Bodhisattva Would you take me by the hand Can you show me The shine of your Japan The sparkle of your china Can you show me Bodhisattva Bodhisattva I'm gonna sell my house in town Bodhisattva I'm gonna sell my house in town And I'll be there To shine in your Japan To sparkle in your China Yes I'll be there Bodhisattva

26. don't EVER EVER do that again! |
|
putting in Nightflyer just for that
was talking to old GF on the phone last week, and started singing "I stepped up on the platform, the man gave me the news....." etc, and she likes me again
coming out to see me
who's better than they are?
Excellent point, though
made me think of those in the news who've died recently, and whose deaths had any effect at all.
Reagan's death had this immediate effect on me: will it help the fascist party retain control
he was a malign influence on this country (his PR image, that is, which is all he EVER was), leaving us with a pale, halfwitted imitation that the media helped foist over on a credulous public
enough of that........now, for la musica!
