Songwriting in the '40s was boring. '40s movies, with some exceptions, were sentimental and soporific. Things needed to be shaken up and when rock and the beatniks came along, at least they were fresh and "authentic," a favorite adjective from back then. But we lost a lot in the '60s. A whole book could be written on the cultural change. Maybe the New Criterion people have written it.Myrhafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340507405537605164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-79250789629945941922007-01-25T04:49:00.000-08:002007-01-25T04:49:00.000-08:00Myrhaf,

However, when the "baby boomers" created the new Left ideology, they threw out the baby with the bath water. <br /><br />As for Steely Dan, "Bodisatva" is probably my favorite tune of theirs (although my wife hates it). But it's kind of hard to go wrong with any Steely Dan song.EdMcGonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892046331126818396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-78933869829186761332007-01-23T03:31:00.000-08:002007-01-23T03:31:00.000-08:00Dang!

Steely Dan is one of my top favorites, in spite of their sometimes questionable lyrics, simply because musically, they are so intelligent.SecFox HQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196582317495849249noreply@blogger.com
