Wednesday is about books, and reading. And writing. Today, the biography of Jim Gordon. A tragic story, told compellingly, with compassion, with empathy. And yes, with love for the music.
Thanks to alerting me to this book Simon and that Jim Gordon is no longer with us - how did I miss that!? I’ll blame it on Covid. Being a Steely Dan fan means that’s where his work means the most to me so I look forward to delving into your playlist and appreciating just how much wonderful music he’s played a major role in.
Oh my days...I have to read this. Knew about the crime but are gobsmacked by so many of the juggernaut tracks he played on....sad that he was incarcerated for so long in a country that has little interest in rehabilitating it's sick and broken.

You’ll love it! Absolutely unreal body of work. And it sits there with that dark shadow around it.
