Walter Becker of Steely Dan, bearded, bespectacled, cradling a Fender Strat.
It's the birthday of the late, sorely missed Walter Becker. To say that I would not be who I am save his generous and sardonic influence would be an understatement.
This moody bastard remembers
You were some kind of friend even then
Once in a great while
He needs one...

This is my building
I stake my claim here
Look on the mailbox you can read my middle name here
This is my building
This is no trash talk
This is me standing on my chunk of god's own sidewalk
