I certainly identified with too many of his observations (yikes). Overall, I enjoyed the book and am certainly much more informed about the life of a touring musician of Donald Fagan's caliber. Which surprising to me was very interesting. If you're a fan of Steely Dan or Donald Fagan, I encourage you to give it a read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2023* It's just a fun read. For me, I didn't want it to end. As a musician myself just a couple of years younger than Fagen, and a huge fan of his music, I really never knew very much about his personal life. This is an entertaining run down of the cultural icons of his youth that helped shape his musical and artistic tastes. This is stuff that fertilized the seeds in his mind that eventually grew into his own personal musical garden. It's all stuff I totally relate to and experienced somewhat myself. Although his experience is that of an east coast mid 20th century American boomer and I represent a west coast version. Recommended for Steely Dan fans, Fagen fans, Boomers in general, Gen Z-ers who might want to understand boomers better. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Donald Fagen is Bitter and Dislikes Society but You Already Knew That *by P***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2020* Steely Dan fans have always been hungry for more information about it's two reclusive owners, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. Brian Sweet's "Reelin' in the Years" is the place to start but it was done with zero input from the duo (their choice), so the natural next place to look would be this book by Fagen, sometimes positioned as his memoirs but that would be a false and misleading description. The first part covers Fagen's influences while growing up in suburban New Jersey, including the Boswell Sisters, Harry Mancini, and philosopher Alfred Korzbski. Only a page or two into this book, Fagen open admits that he dislikes almost everything in society today. This turns into a theme that is woven into the entire book, especially the second part. I found this part of the book to be very entertaining and it portrays a very different perspective of the 1950's vs. what you would see in Happy Days. His experiences going into the Manhattan jazz clubs and his Bard College ("My Old School") remembrances are fascinating, which Steely Dan enthusiasts should enjoy. For perhaps contrarian reasons ( a familiar pattern to Steely Dan fans), or maybe a failed attempt at being cool and artistic, or just because he was lazy and needed material to fill out the book, he completely skips the Steely Dan years and time-warps forty years later to 2012 where he's on a non-Steely Dan tour with Boz Skaggs and Michael McDonald. Here he just includes his hotel-room journal entries, and his cranky, entitled old-man routine gets tired immediately, making the rest of the diary entries tedious and insufferable to get through. Yes, it's a tough life staying at the Four Seasons. You'll immediately wonder why in the world is he on tour in the first place given that he dislikes people and society. He surely doesn't need the income and he'd be much happier bunkered down at home listening to his Rudy Van Gelder jazz record collection from the 1950's. Knowing his past written shenanigans that he played with Becker on their Steely Dan website, perhaps the joke is on us for reading this book in the first place. Speaking of Becker, why are there only minimal mentions of him in this book for someone who was Fagen's partner for over 50 years? For hardcore Steely Dan fans, this book is a must-read but you'll come away disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12576049-donald-fageneminent-hipsters](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12576049-donald-fageneminent-hipsters) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
