The only interview I ever heard with the ...Hi,Eric. The only interview I ever heard with the duo that lacked their famous/infamous sardonic cynicism was the album they did on Marian McPartland's Piano jazz. Sounded like normal guys! Problem is they keep getting asked the same stupid questions and their answers get more and more vague and sarcastic. A friend of mine who works for a big jazz label has spoken to them, and said that privately they'll always give you a straight answer and explain anything about their music, if you ask them an intelligent question. I know they've lots of stuff in the vaults that could be reworked but that's not their style. I bought that "You Gotta Walk It..." lp years ago for an exorbitant price. I've never played the LP. I have it on CD anyway. I'm reading a new book about them at the moment called The Steely Dan File by Stephen Vincent O'Rourke. Not much I didn't know already, but I'm enjoying it. Seems the great Roger Nicholls is very ill at the moment, and nearly broke paying for hospital treatment. What a shame. Yeah, maybe someday we'll hear a revamped "Second Arrangement"! Excuse me, Eric. There's a pig flying overhead! (LOL)!

As I imagine you would as well.<br />Closest involvement I've had with them is when i worked at Passport records and we reissued "You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It".Which =ed nothing on encountering them.<br />Maybe one day yet...Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080833004640805569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-58862796467780403192011-02-15T21:56:01.933+01:002011-02-15T21:56:01.933+01:00Hi,Eric.

I would use the blogger "anyone can post" option, but I get so much spam and crap messages, it's not feasible at the moment. There's a good Fugs link @ http://<br />avaxhome.ws<br />/music/pop/<br />fugses.html<br /><br />Few outtakes there also.
