What is the fine columbian?

[GreGorGy]

From time to time, lyrics in RnR classics throw people sideways. "Did they really say that? In the '60s?"

Now I enjoy a lot of the music from those days and the real rock simply does not get radio time anymore. Between the disturbing metal on my iPod, we find all these gems waiting to be picked up by the random shuffle. And today, right after some beautiful disturbed (Deify) comes Steely Dan's Hey 19 where they go on about, among other things, Cuervo Gold and the Fine Columbian, which we all know is weed.

Or do we?

So, what lyrics from this incredibly surreal genre do you find mystical? Ja, I'm thinking like Eagles and Led Zep and The Stones. And the Doors. Jeez, just listening to Gloria again - dirty, dirty, fscker.

Columbian is normally reserved for describing cocaine as per Discovery channel`s Taboo

Is 'squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg' a metaphor for something?

Ordinarily I'd think that BUT the mood of the lyrics and the movement of the music is more in line with the green theory. And it has been said that Fagen was far from a coke fiend (Becker may have been), preferring rather the sweeter weed.

There is something about that pic that is so very, very wrong.

And now, for another psychedelic masterpiece: White Rabbit!
