The new album "Everything must go" is also really good if you like the Fagen solo stuff .... but production wise they still cant be beat !

Probably most of Jaggers lyrics could be viewed in a variety of meanings. Let's face it he has been there done everything etc.

Dion my arse !
Its was recorded first by the Drifters , and is in fact a Leieber/Stoller song.
The solo on the Fagen track is by Greg Phillinganes and he based it on
the Kinks "You really got me " riff ......
Michael Omartian also played on that solo.
