Have twenty years really passed? You won't think so after hearing this CD. Fagen and Becker still write with doses of irony, humor, satire, and realism. Yes, that Fender Rhodes is still there! Gaslighting Alley was lifted from the movie of the same name. 'What a Shame About Me' chronicles a record-store worker living day to day who runs into his old girlfriend, now a star. Two Against Nature is kind of self-autobiographical. Janie Runaway is about a girl who hops a bus to NYC and finds a Sugar Daddy. Almost Gothic is about a guy who's in love with a girl, but he's not sure he can believe what she says. Jack of Speed-the title says it all. Cousin Dupree...about a guy who has the hots for his cousin (only from the mind of Steely Dan).
