The book has insight rarely given in interviewers, as it covers Fagans' perspective on his life, in his own words - - - and there are a lot of them. The book can be read in one good sitting , but Fagan's approach is all his own , not unlike his songs, where his word play, flamboyant verbosity, metaphors and written images can sometimes turn a sentence into a paragraph ! Or two ! Still , a fun read. I wish it would have gone deeper into Steely Dan , and the minutiae and hyperdetails on making all those great albums, from HIS perspective. There is some of that, there are mentions, and there are tidbits, such as his entries from his road journal, but , it falls shy of what I would have hoped for. Bottom line - Worth the $7 , and even a pinch more, but this is not THE definitive read on Fagan or Steely Dan.Read full review

Donald Fagan gives a self depreciating view of himself and insight into the "band", an ever evolving assemblage of the music worlds best session players. A funny and lighthearted look at a band that was, and in many ways still is, light years ahead of its time.

Excellent quick read into the trials and tribulations of Fagens musical life. Written with the wit of his best songs.
