Perhaps the Rams came to LA on a dare but couldn't go it alone.

Trivia question: What is a Steely Dan?


The draw for me was the amazing guitar production and those guitar riffs. Denny Diaz, Rick Derringer, Jeff 'skunk' Baxter, Larry Carlton et al were studs. Fagen and Becker would create the songs and bring in several of those guys giving each a track per song to solo on. Then they would chose the one they liked best to make the record.

But none of them made PFFs top 10 list either....


Worry the bottle Mamma, it's grapefruit wine
Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time
The girls don't seem to care what's on
As long as they play 'til dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis
And somebody else's favorite song
Give her some funked up muzak, she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae, she'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
No static at all (no static, no static at all)
FM (no static at all)

Answer to the trivia, I think it would be best to have William Burroughs answer that.

Feeling a little at home here. Thanks all. Talking Rams and great music.

I did a grad seminar on Burroughs and Blake. That was a bizarre combination. I think the prof was high and just picked two B names to put together when he made the class.

Love your "indignity" comment. You do have a way with one-liners.

As for the list, the dude just won a SB with a limping cast of thousands (maybe a slight exaggeration) at the skill positions. Well, at least, he's on the list.

Lists?
We don't need no stinking lists!!!

We are the reigning Champions, Superbowl contenders again. The envy of the other 31. So if it's PFF's opinion we have the #11 head coach, #5 playcaller, #whatever WR corp, #whatever defense and #whatever chance to repeat all I can say is, "who cares? We're gonna do it again!"

When and where did you take that seminar? (Just curious.)

Rams play all of the other 5 teams on that list in 2022. That's 6 games because obviously they play Shanahan twice.
