Michael McDonald was practically an honorary member of Steely Dan.

[@squigtonianmayhem4602]

Also, contributer.

[@robertwinship8367]

He also toured with them in ‘74 and went with Jeff “Skunk” Baxter to Doobie Brothers when Becker and Fagen wanted to stop touring...

[@jiffin1]

He was considered an actual member when he toured with them for over a year

[@PeckiePeck]

Pretty much an honorary honorary member.

If only it would have kept him far away from the Doobie Brothers. 😎

Yep yep yep definitely been listening to them since I was seven or eight I guess initially off the radio,all the time since I was 13 or 14 including all the other people I'm into.

[@Joe-Flow]

I saw that show too in Orange County, that was great! Kind of surprised that Michael didn't join the Dan when they played "I Got the News."

[@MichaelTrogdon1990]

Gotta love Michael McDonald's backing vocals. He did backing vocals on many Steely Dan songs: Rose Darling, Any World (That I'm Welcome To), Peg, I Got the News, Time Out of Mind. McDonald even toured with Steely Dan (when they were still touring) in 1974.

I can never get enough of Steely Dan. Such brilliance on all levels.

[@historyguy5942]

The scenario is a native New Yorker who's living and working in LA, in drug rehab, homesick, and sick of his lifestyle in southern California. The five names are the original members of the Steely Dan Band, some of whom are no longer part of the band. sthe references are to the music business scene in LA and some of the original band members no longer part of Steely Dan. He's talking to Walter Becker. The chorus describes a vision of himself back home, when he didn't spend money on fancy shoes (so he's wearing "bad sneakers," maybe worn-out Converse high-tops) but roamed around Manhattan. Magnolia Boulevard is in North Hollywood, and the site of a number of medical offices, including more than one rehab clinic. The ladies are prostitutes, street-walkers who aren't making as much money, or not enough to feed their drug habits. The "fearsome excavation" is some construction site. The "ditch" in the valley is a metaphor for a career dead-end he fears music company executives will force him into, as well as the grave he might be buried in if he continues to rely on drugs to deal with his stress and creative unhappiness.

[@treyearle1057]

This is my favorite Steely Dan song of their entire catalog.

[@Spazzmatazzz]

When the chorus came around the first time, I saw that "wait a minute" look in your eye! And next time it came up, you were like, "Okay. This has gotta be Michael." And you were spot on! LOVED this reaction! ☺

2 words. Chuck. Rainey. At least after a certain point. Most other positions, they rotated different studio musicians, Chuck was the man on call for bass, they didn't need anyone else unless Walter wanted to play it himself. Chuck played some or all of the songs from Pretzel Logic to Gaucho, with a few songs by Anthony Jackson on Gaucho, some by Wilton Felder on Pretzel Logic and Katy Lied. Chuck was pretty much the sound of that good good 76-77 period, with a hefty hand in the other times.

Dang, this song is so personal to me. Fresh from getting divorced and not really knowing where to go, I had to be in a training camp for a month and I literally brought an older pair of sneakers instead of a newer one. The training camp was essential for my career, but it was boring as hell and afterwards it took me away from the more fun and carefree life that I used to know, and to have to experience it all alone was so so sad. This song made me cry but also kept me alive through some of the darkest days of my life. Thank you for reacting to this one, Jamel.

[@thenaturalwomenshow]

Good ears Jamel! You recognized Michael McDonald (MM). Here's the thing with Steely Dan and MM; Michael was an unofficial member of Steely Dan at this point in the band's evolution. Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers have a history of joint membership. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter played guitar in Steely Dan on their first few albums; then he left to join the Doobie Brothers. When Tom Johnston took ill in '75 and had to leave the Doobies, it was Jeff Baxter who recommended Michael McDonald be considered as Johnston's replacement. Also worth noting is that Jeff Porcaro - who played drums on all the tracks on Katy Lied, including this one - was the drummer on Michael McDonald's solo recording "I Keep Forgetting". Jeff is on many of Steely Dan's songs; and every time you check out a song with Jeff Porcaro on it; you dance with a bit more bounce! Jeff was also the cofounder and drummer in Toto. He passed away in 1992.
