| Steely Dan – The Boston Rag Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| The song, like American Pie, reflects the end of an era. Not the birth of rock but its death. A similar loss of innocence as the hopes of ‘65 (see ‘the night they drove old dixie down’) finally give way to the realities of a dying counter-culture! A dream of modernist populism hijacked by a post-modern band named after a dildo who reject ‘the showbiz kids’. In reality there is no escape. Even into irony and nostalgia. “This is your Haitian Divorce’. | |
