Pornos for Pyros. Great band (albeit short-lived).
Believe they broke up b/c the bassist had addiction problems and later serious health problems. They sound SO good:

We lost another great one yesterday
David Johansen (and his alter ego Buster Poindexter)
Fronted one of the greatest punk rock bands of all time, the New York Dolls.
IMO The Dolls belong in the same sentence with Ramones, Sex Pistols. Clash, and The Stooges.
I don't like to throw the word great around all that much, but he was an all time great.

The funniest joke of the Academy Awards was when Mick Jagger (presenting the award for best song) said "The Academy originally asked Bob Dylan to present this award, but Bob said let Mick do it, he's younger"

Total contradiction listening to these guys and supporting Trump.
He's the farmers' barren fields (in God)
The force the army wields (we trust)
The expression on the faces of the starving millions (because he's one of us)
The power of the man (break down)
The fuel that drives the Klan (cave in)
He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer (we can redeem your sin)
He's the preacher on TV (strong heart)
The false sincerity (clear mind)
The form letter that's written by the big computers (and infinitely kind)
The nuclear bombs (you lose)
The kids with no moms (we win)
And I'm fearful that he's inside me (he is our champion), yeah!Comment -

I have a question for Mr. Hicks.
Donald Fagen and Randy Becker makes reference to "Geno and Daddy G."
Who was Geno and Daddy G?
(4:12)

Well I'm not the biggest Steely Dan fan, but I love a good music trivia. I pulled up the lyrics to try and figure it out without looking up the meaning.
My first guess would be some type of criminals or mobsters. Can I get clue, but don't give me the answer.
You're from Jersey, right? So it could be an east coast thing.
Nice to see you post some Motown.
I was raised on this stuff. My mother always had it playing.Comment -
Motown was and still is one of my favorite genres.
Yes, born and raised in NJ originally.
Hint: Let's just say "Geno" and "Daddy G" are pretty much hated by the liberal/democrat party.Comment -

This is what makes the Temptations great.
Almost six decades later, the lyrics still hold up today.
I love funk, the Tempts had it all, the moves, the grooves...
David Ruffin is an all-time great.

Born and raised just outside of Detroit, so I have to like Motown.
So, they are politicians (good clue) song was released in 1973 so first guess is Nixon and Kissinger. Problem is there is a Cal line in the song before the names and a US Mail line after so those two don't make sense.
The lyrics I looked up say Chino and Daddy G but that doesn't mean its not Geno they get shit wrong all the time.
Just a guess, I will go with Chino a town in Cal and Daddy G being Reagan? I'm totally lost here.Comment -
I always thought it was "Chino" myself, but I heard Fagen say it's "Geno"
The one I know for a fact was G. Gordon Liddy, the other Rudy Giuliani.
Both were high profile DAs, and the song is about a drug bust (pot) in Fagen's old school.
I have a little trouble with Giuliani because at the time the song was written Rudy would be just starting out as a federal prosecutor.
As far as funk bands go, I don't think any band did it better than TOP.

Dam I was way off, here is what Genius Lyrics says which lines up with what you said.
A 2006 Entertainment Weekly article, “Back to Annandale” explains the backstory of “My Old School.”But just outside of Adolph’s, he sees it. The house. ‘'Right there is the house that I was busted in,’‘ [Donald Fagen] says, gesturing toward a two-story structure nearby. Here, finally, lies the story behind ’‘My Old School.’'
It was around 5 a.m., a Thursday in May 1969, when a swarm of sheriff’s deputies descended on Bard, sweeping through dorms and off-campus residences, including this small house, where Fagen lived with a roommate. ‘'They went up and down the halls, knocking on doors,’‘ says [friend] Terence Boylan, who was in his room at Ward Manor at the time. ’‘Toilets were flushing everywhere to get rid of any pot that you had. I threw mine out the window. All you had to do was say to the cop, 'What are you doing?’ They’d say, ‘That’s it, resisting arrest.’ Somebody would say, ‘What the hell is going on?’ ‘Oh, profanity! Arrest him.’‘’ Fagen, Becker, and Fagen’s girlfriend, Dorothy White, were all dragged off to jail.
For the longest time when I was a kid I thought Chicago was an all black band. LOL

Surprised you're not a Zappa fan.
Comment -
Me?
I loved Zappa, Chicago too.
I played horn back in the day, James Pankow was an influence when I first started playing.
Peter Cetera ruined that band after Terry Kath blew his brains out.
The horn intro here grabs you by the throat from the start and doesn't let go.
This is as good as it gets.
The lead in, or crescendo if you will at 3:20 makes my hair stand up.
