Why does Fagen allow Becker to ruin everything with his guitar playing when Herrington (I believe his name is), could totally be 199 times better? Please do not respond to this post, as I've noticed there's simply just 99% group think out there with absolute no born pitch, and mostly dead ear syndrome. So Bottom line Long Live Donald Fagen.
perfection & grace, silver will turn to gold, even platinum. enuf about that activity...it's the genius style, lyrics from one hell of a head , I mean mind!!! What a blessing to our ears, minds, hearts, souls- etc. with each & evry word & note from Steely Dan...Thx guyz
the deal here is we have fagen and becker, just as we had bacharach and david, and as well john and taupin. it goes back to the gershwins - great music from teams.
It is a reference to smoking heroin. When you burn it (especially the old way on aluminum foil) the smoke comes up in the air like a dragon. And here's a little musical Dan trivia for you guys: on the original track on the album (Gaucho) the guitar is played by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BAND AS GOOD AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE
Yeah, billa, I used the intro to "Time Out Of Mind" on my very first phone answering machine back in the early '80s. I was so set on raising the musical IQ of everyone who dialed that number. The other Dan song that really oozes cool for me is "Chain Lightning" off the "Katy Lied" LP. Only Becker and Fagen could write a "cool" song about Hitler.

How the hell did this band make it into the Rock Hall of Fame and a band like DEVO can't??
Steely Dan's music was the norm for that day and is nothing original. Devo's music and influence can be heard in today's music.
I can name you over a hundred bands who said DEVO inspired/ influenced them, but can't name one band who said the same about Steely Dan...

How many Grammys did Devo win in 2001?? For Steely Dan I think it was 4 including best album.

You're right- it is about smoking heroin! It was popular with squeamish druggies who didn't want to stick a needle in their arm (me)...

@jay64stang Chase the dragon = consume heroin by smoking it.

@tiluriso Technically it means preparing the heroin by lighting it, not consuming it.

@tiluriso Cause when you light the heroin on tin foil it wriggles around and looks like a chinese dragon
