I was born in the 1950's grew up in the 60s 70s and 80s. Morphed in the 90s due to modern pharmacology, and now on cruise control. This song is on the soundtrack of my life. They were great live. Peace and Love.

Quite possibly the coolest tune, ever ...

You know a song's perfect when it doesn't feel like you've spent any time listening to it, you're just soaking in the details and "moment" is an immeasurable amount of time.

My dad was fan of steely Dan when I was young he told me someday you’re gonna love this songs and that’s true, oldies never die. But my dad pass away and this is how I remember him everyday.

December 2023 and it still sounds just as fresh as when I first heard in 1977.

"I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play to long." Some of the greatest lyrics.. ever.

[campbellsmith]

We all build our own little fantastical worlds in our head, we all over-romanticize, some more than others. Steely Dan perfectly captured that delusion in a song. What a classic.

Listened to this as a young kid in the 80’s, still listening to it in 2024

Love cruising the city at night playing this song feeling a warm breeze,
so sublime 🌃

[sharonh]

This is one LP that’s easy to listen to in its entirety, so smooth

My ex and I used to bump Steeley Dan on our booming stereo when I had cancer because I enjoy the beautiful molodies🎶
We sadly divorced, but I love him to this day and moment
🫂🎵😢🙏🏼🕊🎶❤️

Been listening all my life…old hippie chick in Arkansas….

Released in 1977. I swear 1977 was a land mark year in so many ways. Glad I was there.

[petetyler]

Definitely one of the best Saxophone solos of all time

[flynnfriend]

"They got a name for the winners in the world. I want a name when I lose. They call Alabama the Crimson Tide. Call me Deacon Blues." Some the greatest lyrics... ever.

[RBAILEY]

It's the best track, from their best LP. I've always loved it!
I always called Steely Dan's music "Thinking man's rock" because their lyrics were always so good.

[edwardlenz]

We can never reach perfection, but the Dan certainly tries.

[fabricio]

this guys sound Cool, sensual and Uptempo, even while they wrote a sad why i love Steely Dan...

[ericpeters]

Steely Dan has never recorded a bad song. Perfection!
