The elliptical lyrics were--and continue to be--an endless source of fascination. What kind of person was capable of writing such songs? Fagen has always kept his true self hidden behind walls of irony, confounding most journalistic enquiries with a mixture of obscurity and sarcasm. Nightfly cracks open the door to reveal the life behind the lyrics and traces Fagen's story from early family life in suburban New Jersey, to his first encounter with Walter Becker at Bard College, their long struggle for recognition as songwriters, and the formation of Steely Dan. The band's break-up in 1981, re-formation in 1993, and Fagen's parallel solo career are covered in detail."--Jacket 600 10 $a Fagen, Donald, $d 1948- $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n91062892 610 20 $a Steely Dan (Musical group) $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92007880 650 0 $a Rock musicians $z United States $v Biography. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008110396 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302021742.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB95A91C5B3C11ED8F2A915D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
