May 11, 1974 –
ABC Records released Steely Dan’s Any Major Dude Will Tell You, on this date, (oh yeah, Rikki Don’t Lose that Number was the A-side.)
“Have you ever seen a Squonk’s tears,” a Squonk is a mythical woodland creature who has the ability to dissolve in its own tears. Steely Dan came across the word in a book by Jorge Luis Borges. Genesis also makes mention of this animal in their song Squonk, from their 1976 album A Trick of the Tail.
