Steely Dan's Walter Becker dies
 

As a teen I thought some of their music was great.

RIP Walter

I'm sorry to hear of Walters passing. Steely Dan was another great band that had a unique sound.

Innovative songwriter and musician that I will be miss. Some of the stories behind the writing of some of their songs, where they used words and lines for their sound, not so much for "storytelling" just blew my mind. Then I find out that a lot of "bands" did that... I should have come up with that idea when I was trying my hand at songwriting oh so many years ago. I always thought you had to tell a story, like Don McLean did here, but as you can see, that might take eight minutes, or in my case, probably a month of Sundays. It's a sure sign that I'm getting old, losing so many of my favorite musical bands people...

I still thought so as a twen, and i still at least like it.
May you rest in peace Walter Becker, and thank you for the music!
