When I was a teenager Steely Dan was too jazzy for my taste but I always was blown away by their guitars. I'm glad my taste has matured and I can love the songs.

Definitely one of my favorite tracks too for sure and I love the story. Makes me laugh every time I listen to it. Classic Steely.

A Haitian divorce is one that someone can get unilaterally. The other person doesn’t have to be told. You go to Haiti and get the papers then you can show up back in the US like “Surprise... we’re divorced now”

A number of Dan songs end too early and Hatian Divorce is another prime example of this for the song can easily jam for another 2 minutes plus and it would be befitting of the song. Has always been one of my favorite of theirs as it has the groove and story working hand in hand in symbiosis.

Thanks for taking us on this voyage with you. I have loved Steely Dan for years, but I haven't journeyed far off the beaten path to meet some of their lesser known tracks. I'm hearing some of these for the first time, too and I'm enjoying the experience. Just added you to my Patreon family.

They released this as a single in the UK. Surprisingly (to me - I love it, but Do It Again, Rikki, FM are more obvious candidates) it was the most successful Steely Dan 45 here. Have a look for white folks reggae in 1976. There's virtually bugger all (Eric Clapton shooting a sheriff apart..). Walter Becker was and remained an enthusiastic connoisseur of reggae rhythms. You should do Here At The Western World as part of this set. Chronologically it belongs here. It's only on their Greatest Hits LP, but should have been on Scam. I dig you enjoying Steely Dan immensely. You're probably at the half-way point in age between me and my son who loves 'em too. I'm enjoying your voyage.

I'm really enjoying your journey, having been a huge fan of the Dan from the beginning. Played in a band back in the day that did a few covers. Would love to see your review of Your Gold Teeth ii from Katy Lied. Their first unabashedly jazz tune, and an unusually positive lyric. Also just saw your review of Snarky Puppy, please do more of those! That whole European recording/video session is transformative.
