Powerfully penned, Brandon. Excellent write that is unfortunately filled with a lot of truth my friend. It also reminded me of Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt” though I know Trent Reznor wrote the song, Cash made it his. He mentioned the Liar’s chair in the lyrics. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were studio geeks. Perfection is what they strived for in their music. And they always had A-list talent in the studio. Like Mr. Gadd as you just referenced. Gotta respect “The Dan” Great song by the way. Appreciate you. – Damian
