I just went out and stood in the rain for a half and hour to watch Regan's motorcade go by. There were two hearses. THe first one had a lower back door/bigger window and their was a flag draped over it. It was followed by a limo. There was a van in front of them that was taping. Several more cars in the procession and then there was another hearse with a smaller back window/higher door, so you couldn't see the coffin because of the height of hte door. THat was followed by a limo also. Do you think Reagan was in the first or the second?

The first. The second one was for the coffin Maggie Thatcher sleeps in during daylight hours.

"Subversive"? I think that that is the code for including a bit of humor and snark in lyrics. Or maybe the way they brought jazz influences into rock.

Perhaps. I alays thought it meantmore than this, but maybe not:

"Listeners anticipating Steely Dan's patented amalgam of sonic perfection, sinuous musicality, and subversive storytelling . . ."

http://www.steelydan.com/emgpress1.html

"On this basis alone I have always maintained that Steely Dan's music was, has been and remains among the most genuinely subversive ouevres in late-20th-century pop."

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cyberpun...teelydan.shtml

"Rock's most reclusive and subversive act of the '70's transformed into a warm and fan-friendly modern rock band when Steely Dan hit the stage for their second sold out night at the Amphitheatre in Universal City on Wednesday."

http://ubl.artistdirect.com/music/ar...ist=Steely+Dan

"As iconoclastic as they are, Steely Dan's Walter Becker and Donald Fagen apparently don't mind being icons themselves. After giving ‘70s radio listeners a stream of intelligent, jazz-imbedded, carefully crafted and entirely subversive pop hits that still haven't lost their sheen . . ."

http://www.virginmegamagazine.com/default.asp?aid=3C6

I suppose that the key to the "subversion" is combining adult-themed lyrics with well-crafted, but smooth and polished tunes:

"The resulting "Katy Lied", "The Royal Scam", "Aja" and "Gaucho" releases were wildly successful, combining a smooth, jazzy sound with some hilariously subversive lyrics."

http://www.musicinsight.com/2000/03/26.htm

I think Steely Dan fans need a different word.

While I tend to agree with Raouuuuul that Steely Dan's music generally sucks, I have to admire the band for naming themselves after a steam-powered dildo. That's kinda cool.

WE DO! And you are either with us or against us. Of course if you are against us you will join NYC-REfugee in the tiny minority of dunderheaded leftists who have not yet learned the lesson of how irrelevant that they are and how far behind the curve they are in realizing that Reagan saved this nation from ruin. After this last week of remembrance how can you fail to understand that your foolhardy and baseless Reagan-bashing for whatever period of the last 15 years that you have been out diapers has not been very productive for either you or your leftwing shills in the media.

Of course the media's years of Reagan bashing dulled the minds of many on the left to the point that they are but mind numbed sofa potatos now and thank God sofa potatoes very rarely get their fat asses off the sofa to vote anyhow, which will assist W's victory in November.

Maybe they mean subversive to the Stadium rock standard that they were competing with. They were only 2 guys, with no pretty hair boy, and their lyrics tried to be smart; c.f. Kansas or some of them. But by 1980 you can't call them subversive. And I can't believe anyone under 50 would listen to them today. but that's just me.

It would be considered subversive to do so....

Cite please. I picture this list as being one line shorter than the list of famous antartic television stars of the 19th century.

You should go back out in the rain, find another place to stand and try to determine for yourself over another hour and a half.

Not me. I hope that the pistons win in LA and Sheed gets to step on Jack Nicholson's face.
