I would like to dedicate this thread to the one other person on ilm who I know will be losing her marbles over this outstanding news

Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen will release his third solo album, Morph the Cat, in March. Whereas his 1982 debut The Nightfly viewed the future from an adolescent's eyes, and 1993's Kamakiriad viewed it from middle age, Morph, says Fagen, "is looking toward the endings of things."

"It's the album that's closest to my vision of how [death] would sound," says Fagen. "I don't know if I could do much better."

Fagen will support the record with his very own theater tour -- his first solo show since high school. "I've never done it before," he says. "I might do a few Steely Dan things that I particularly like, but it'll mainly be my stuff."

also on that site you linked to:

The reviews are in: Diamond Dave, it appears, is not forever. David Lee Roth’s first broadcast on Jan. 3 as CBS Radio’s East Coast successor to Howard Stern was blasted by numerous newspapers, who went so far as to predict his demise before mid-year.

Roth's new morning show is airing in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, among others.

“Something was missing: humor,” wrote the New York Post’s John Mainelli. “Missing was a sense of adventure, irreverence, topicality and wacky anarchy.” He criticized Roth for riffing at length on such “gloomy” topics as the World Trade Center site, radio censorship and his career as a paramedic.

Jody I know, my memory has gone completely to hell! don't shoot meth when you're a teenager, kids, or this could happen to you

without becker and his solo songs, when will we be able to take our bathroom break?

Oh that's brilliant - I still love Kamakiriad and The Nightfly. Will his tour reach the UK? The last set of Steely Dan dates didn't.

i'm so excited about fagen doing a solo tour -- when i saw steely dan in concert about 5 or 6 years ago i didn't think the expanded live band (horns, backup singers) held together that well. i wish they'd play more small theaters.
