Steely Dan – Deacon Blues Lyrics 13 years ago
"'They call Alabama the Crimson Tide, Call me Deacon Blues'
I believe this is a reference to a college football team that never won a game. It somehow gained a mythic power to its reputation as a loser. You can have a name, even when you lose. "

You are an idiot. Did you even do any research in this idiotic explanation. You can easily read any interview about the song (hell, or even look at the Wikipedia page) and you would know that Deacon Blues was the name for the loser. "The call Alabama The Crimson Tide" refers to the fact that the University of Alabama football team has always been a perennial powerhouse in the NCAA.
Check your facks next time, buddy.
