Full article:
Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) : I liked the fact that this is autobiographical. The lyrics are great in a kind of Chuck Berry mode. Lennon was a very courageous person. I really liked his solo stuff. He was always ready to confront whatever needed to be confronted. In this case in a very funny song that puts me in a good mood, "The way things are going/They're gonna crucify me."
