Dead at 67.
I didn't realize he wasn't touring with Steely Dan, but that explains why the names of the performances became "Donald Fagan" a few months ago. I didn't make the connection.
This guy was incredible, and perhaps the more avante garde of the two writing and producing buddies. His 1980s solo album, "12 Tracks of Whack," was one of the most bizarre experiments of pushing the envelope of arranging relatively easy to listen to songs I have ever heard. The music is catchy and accessible, but the parts each musician plays is insane beyond comprehension. I will be listening to that album today.
We'll miss him.
