A witty; candid; sharply written memoir by the cofounder of Steely DanIn his entertaining debut as an author; Donald Fagenmdash;musician; songwriter; and cofounder of Steely Danmdash;reveals the cultural figures and currents that shaped his artistic sensibility; as well as offering a look at his college days and a hilarious account of life on the road. Fagen presents the ldquo;eminent hipstersrdquo; who spoke to him as he was growing up in a bland New Jersey suburb in the early 1960s; his colorful; mind-expanding years at Bard College; where he first met his musical partner Walter Becker; and the agonies and ecstasies of a recent cross-country tour with Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs. Acclaimed for his literate lyrics and complex arrangements as a musician; Fagen here proves himself a sophisticated writer with his own distinctive voice.
