Steely Dan may be more recognized by the very unique jazz and rock infused musical hooks that have permeated classic rock stations for over 30 years; but, to look closer, is to observe some very fine and challenging lyrics, as written by the duo that is Steely Dan: Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.
Who could expect anything less, from a band that takes its name from William S. Burroughs' great epic Naked Lunch. Steely Dan's lyrics are heavily influenced by the beat poets and writers, flushed with heavy symbolism and myth-making phraseology.
Breaking down the songs from Pretzel Logic, one by one, a pattern does emerge, albeit somewhat scattered, in the sense that each song is a puzzle piece, and when placed together in the mind, presents a picture of hard-living and heartbreak. A sort of rock n roll Don Quixote, whose romantic notions about life and love, are continually broken by harsh realities.
