sad to have only just learned of walter becker's death last week.
one rarely hears steely dan's music played commercially, yet last sunday evening (the night before his death) i went bat shit crazy with joy when the dj dropped 'only a fool would say that' in a relatively remote little bar in the north of ibiza...
edit: the blissed-out 1972 vibe of 'only a fool would say that' pre-empted the balearic slickness of chris rea et al that would follow a good decade later; it also jars with the lyrics, which pour icy realism onto the idiot warmth of the hippie dream.

Agreed, slick production. Nice touch hearing that "off Grid" in Ibiza, it must have sat right in nicely.
