I absolutely love this song. I never knew it was about Owsley et al., roughly.

One response to “Kid Charlemagne”

Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are weird, interesting guys. At one point, i think in the early 70s they were the bandleaders for Jay And The Americans, who had been mid-60s pop stars. According to Becker and Fagen, the audience for Jay And The Americans primarily consisted of the Italian-American criminal community. This was probably a huge exaggeration for effect, but when those two write about the Dark Side, they aren't just guessing.
