This past year has been absolute Heaven for me and my three musical idols. Elvis Costello is making exciting music with Burt Bachrach, Bruce Springsteen is proving he is still the Boss, and now Steely Dan releases  their incredible follow-up to Gaucho. It is amazing how many  "rock-n-roll" groups can get by slumming it while these guys  peform brilliantly on these songs. Their flawless execution on these jazzy  tripfests will leave you waiting for another 20 years for their next  contribution. Beautiful stuff by these geniuses who are still ahead of  their time.
