Happy Birthday, Walter Becker!

Inspired by the cover to Downtown Canon and good ol' Ingmar Bergman.
Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker is 66. Born on this day back in 1950.
And as the group is getting ready to tour in 2016 we can look back at his latest solo album Circus Money. It is eight years old this year. Notice that we hopefully did write "latest" and not "last".

He still has his domain walterbecker.com up and running, and a quick look there does show us that the latest thing that has happened on the news page is yearly postings of links to Steely Dan tours. But! For 2016 there's a link titled Random Notes that links to the site theuselessweb.com. Make of it what you want:




Oh! And on the front page there is another new link;  They're Heeeeere ... | or are they?
Which links to an at the time of writing blank 2016 tour page over on steelydan.com:
