Fagen presents the \"eminent hipsters\" who spoke to him as he was growing up in a bland New Jersey suburb in the early 1960s; his colorful, mind-expanding years at Bard College, where he first met his musical partner Walter Becker; and the agonies and ecstasies of a recent cross-country tour with Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs. Acclaimed for his literate lyrics and complex arrangements as a musician, Fagen here proves himself a sophisticated writer with his own distinctive voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonald Fagen\u003c\/b\u003e's writing has appeared in \u003ci\u003ePremiere\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Harper's Bazaar\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJazz Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
