also that thread title seems to imply that Steely Dan is saying that quote.
Could be from a Walter Becker mid-show monologue.

the best part of review where quote came from is the contrast between the out-of-touch boomer Steely Dan fan and the young, hip kid listening to the fucking Fragile

The Fragile is now as old as Aja was at the time of the review, but nobody bothers to make fun of aging Gen Xers except ourselves.

DiCrescenzo an equal opportunity misanthrope - he gave The Fragile a 2.0 five months before he wrote the Dan review!
