I say "Hey thirty-nine" because the girl immortalized in the song "Hey Nineteen" would be 39 when this album was released, in the year 2000. (I wonder if she ever figured out who 'Retha Franklin is.) But by no means does the music sound aged. It is fresh and alive, even though I will admit that when I first heard it - jazzy, funky, with insidious horns and sudden, odd chord progressions - I felt as if I were back in my French Quarter apartment with my bosom buddy and partner in crime Paula, in the mid-70's to early 80's, once again receiving data from the avatars of intellectual head music. Few artists can do basically what they were doing 20 years before and make it sound relevant, but Fagen & Becker have done so.
