[Songbird]

Seinfeld's favorite band, or one of them, which seems odd.

Son of a B. Love Steely Dan. Was going to try to catch the Baltimore or MGMGrand D.C. show in late October.

Bodhisattva remains one of the all-time great tunes

 

[ChrisLong]

Sad. RIP, sir.

 

[Neutral Corner]

I'm saddened. So much good music. Steely Dan was one of the great bands that I never got to see. RIP.

Seinfeld's favorite band, or one of them, which seems odd.

Also George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon, but I'm not sure anyone other than @Big Circus will get that reference.

See "Things That Make Me Feel Old."

 

[I Should Coco]

Big, big bummer. Between their against-the-grain music and cool lyrics, one of my favorite 1970s bands. RIP

 

[DanOregon]

Take him by the hand Bodhistava....

Guess he's stopped reelin' in the years.

I feel the loss. Donald may have sang it, but you covered every game in town, Walter.
