This is REALLY sad for a person who is such a musical genius.

It kinda makes you wonder if it is some thing that afflicts aging musicians. Several have had complaints filed against them by their wives. Among them are: Lou Rawls, Paul Simon, Lionel Richie, and now Donald Fagen, or they drive intoxicated like Glen Campbell, Eric Carmen, David Cassidy, and Diana Ross.

This is hot off the presses. I doubt that wifey feels the same way, especially since she's had a restraining order put on him. I LOVE him as a performer. I think he's a musical genius, but I think he's in denial about this.

Anybody maybe think that maybe they BOTH have issues? She's crazy and he lost his cool? No doubt he manhandled her, and that was wrong. But, she's not pressing charges, and allegedly gave conflicting reports to the media.

Not really interested in scandal and gossip. He may or may not be a nasty piece of work but I am far more interested in his considerable musical talent than reading about his dirty laundry being aired in public. There are no doubt two sides to this story. Now I am off to play my Steely Dan albums...............
