3. reference to the worlds worst performers |
|
both pretentious and boring, surrounded by conservatory jazz students.
Steely Dan ripped me off for $160 for two tickets to their shit ass show in Hawaii.
Never again.

6. "Babylon Sisters" is a Steely Dan song |
|
Drive west on sunset To the sea Turn that jungle music down Just until we’re out of town This is no one night stand It’s a real occasion Close your eyes and you’ll be there It’s everything they say The end of a perfect day Distant lights from across the bay Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I’m the only one
Here come those santa ana winds again
We’ll jog with show folk on the sand Drink kirschwasser from a shell San francisco show and tell Well I should know by now That it’s just a spasm Like a sunday in t.j. That it’s cheap but it’s not free That I’m not what I used to be And that love’s not a game for three
Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I’m the only one
My friends say no don’t go For that cotton candy Son you’re playing with fire The kid will live and learn As he watches his bridges burn From the point of no return
Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I’m the only one

presumably about an old fool who throws away his real love to chase a meaningless midlife crisis fling? That's what I got out of it. Noone really knows conclusively what Steely Dan lyrics mean.
