Hollywood

Steely Dan has some interesting lyrics.

Like, “Hollywood — I know your middle name” — I thought that was a particularly interesting one.

It’s from the song “Glamour Profession” — just so proper credit is given.

What is Hollywood’s middle name?

I found this song and the lyric to be quite telling.

I have never been to Los Angeles, at least, I think I haven’t been there.

Regardless of whether I’ve been there or not, I can imagine what it’s like.

That imagination is like a big version of Denver. Or maybe a bigger version of Boulder. Who knows.

I do know something about Hollywood — having consumed their movies for many years now.

Elliott Smith wrote about LA, too.

I don’t know what Smith nor what the band members of Steely Dan thought of LA. I just have my own perception of it.

Lots of fame there, I’d imagine.
