Suicide Threats and Midlife Crises at Steely Dan's Beacon Run ...more here. I happen to think Steely Dan is OK, but I thought this was funny.

Agartha/Pangaea seem to be still in print.

It hits the right spot.

I've never heard that one. ...

Surely I jest.

I don't know man...Amandla isn't part of the set. That's the deal breaker.

...

Man...I've never heard that before! Check that shit out.

There's a book about In C by Robert Carl. I have it, but I haven't read it yet.

He made excuses in the form of an apology. Doesn't make any difference, he will make these attacks again and again just he has many, many times in the past. edit: like B3er says:

JSngry's response isn't the issue, it's dan, Dan...DAN GOULD.

That seems to me to be straightforward and simple. Can't imagine someone other than a sociopath or someone with severe anger control issues having any problem with it.

Sounds reasonable to me, particularly for a repeat offender.

Yes, and no. Personally I think Dan has his better phases, and his worse -- his ups and downs. So too have a number of us here. (I started to name names, but that would have really gotten weird -- so I'll just say that hopefully you know who you are -- and even if you don't, the rest of us sure do ( ) -- and maybe I should count myself in both camps ). I don't have an easy solution -- 'cept to say that if the most difficult behavior was curtailed, and/or at least softened a little more often than not -- then this place would probably NOT have as many periodic ups and downs (nor as many headaches for our good host Jim). Think a little before you post, people. I'm no saint, but one of the best things I've done in recent years is stuff I *haven't* posted. And for the record, yes, I'm defending Dan (who has a long history with us here, and even "before here") --- while at the same time, I am pissed at him taking the "welcome committee" to new heights depths. I'm no saint either...I've certainly baited him many times to see him flip out. But at this late stage, it would be reasonable to expect him to act more like Stimpy and less like Ren. Particularly with someone new who joins and asks a question.

Dan has been a problem for years.

The new one is as good as the best by him: Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street.

ditto.

Cool!

This is true. ...

It's not the entire set. It's missing the early version of Frankenstein (called something else at that point) that was the double drum encore.

Awww...

Dan's always pissed off. ...

Always glad to help the newcomer out! ...

Get in touch with Bruce Gallanter at Downtown Music Gallery and tell him David Beardsley (that's me) sent you. He'll hip you to the latest in NYC. ...

How about if we call it his late-late-late style? ...
