>Never saw Steely Dan... past my time I guess. But I like them. Catch 'em if you can on their current tour -- their last album (Everything Must Go from 2003) is probably their best, and Donald Fagen just put out an excellent solo CD which they're playing from. This'll be my fourth Dan show. >A big part of that was probably Vietnam... why that isn't repeating with Iraq, I don't know. Why don't the kids care? Only two rock bands have made great anti-Iraq/anti-Bush albums, AFAIK -- Pearl Jam's self-titled disc from this year, and Green Day's American Idiot. Both highly recommended, though the Pearl Jam one's probably the only one that's classic-rock friendly. They're really the heirs to Neil Young. >PS I saw Led Zeppelin in their fist US tour... they were a back up band, if you can believe it (Kinetic Playground in Chicago, backing up Richie Havens). Lucky. First concert I ever saw was Jimmy Page with the Black Crowes. I was actually supposed to see John Paul Jones the night before, but my car broke down. -Z
