Australian Politics Forum - Has This Aged Well?

I'll have to take a listen to it all the way through sometime today and see how it holds up. In the '90s, of course, he released 'Frampton Comes Alive! II'. His latest studio album is a bunch of instrumental covers. Interesting.

Frampton, I think, has the respect of his peers more so than that of the music-listening 21st-century public.

Yes, that would be a fair assessment.

I saw him live about 10 years ago, and he was on fire.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a ticket back in 1978 though Cry

Yeah, the original band stopped doing live gigs in the mid-seventies (although they started playing live again in the mid-nineties, from memory).

It was basically two guys - Walter Becker and Donald Fagen - and hired studio musicians.

Sadly, there's only one left now - Becker died recently.

The band was named after a dildo. True story.

Didn't know the dildo story or that one of them had died. Now that I think about it, I was living in Japan years back when they did a series of concerts there. Well, I could have gone ... my loss.

In the book Naked Lunch, by William S. Burroughs, there's a steam-powered dildo called Steely Dan.

That's where they got the band name from
