Hey guys!Let's go back to their second album. You reviewed "MY Old School" which was one of their two radio hits off this album. Every song on this album is a a gem, but review either the first or the last song on the album; "Bodhisattva" or "King of the World". KOTW is a song about a guy on an old Ham Radio reaching out to anyone who would hear him after the apocalypse. Just a groovy vibe and a song you won't forget!!

I love IGY (International Geophysical Year). This and other songs on that album about what it felt to be alive in the late 1950's. I really dont think it is sarcastic-it is descriptive about the understandable hope of those times, recalled from a time when we know history. The IGY involved cooperation between the US and the USSR for the first time after years of a cold war-great reason for hope.

@@peterquinones3522 And I get that Peter. I really don't have an issue with the lyrics, because it depicts a time when we had different values. However, lets be a little more fair here, if this were a new wave song, they probably would have scrutinized the lyrics (see "Is She Really Going Out With Him").

The song Gaucho is amazing. This album is probably a little more restrained than others, but in terms of production and layering and musicianship it's probably their top album. As for Hey Nineteen, it's a cautionary tale for a middle aged dude. He's got nothing in common with the 19 year old woman he's hooking up with. You don't know who Aretha Franklin is?

Just as an example, 1st live show was Led Zeppelin. 1977 Minneapolis MN. You will both be treated to a Rare Concert Experience.

The "harmonica synth" is actually exactly that, a synth programmed to sound like a harmonica. One of Donald Fagen's signature sounds. Also, you nailed it about the drum sound, afaik they combined real drums with a primitive drum machine/sampler ("Wendel") on this album

I think you are now ready for "Any Major Dude Will Tell You". Yet a whole other SD vibe. More laid back. Awesome lyrics. This is the song I sing to myself the most after decades. Chorus vocals are killer. Or the title track "Pretzel Logic". Another phenom guitar solo. "I stepped up on the platform. The man gave me the news. He said you must be joking son. Where did you get those shoes?" Can't beat those lyrics!
