Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticWith some kind of personal amends having been made between Donald Fagen and Aimee Mann after she was dropped as an opening act on a summer tour, Mann has reseumed humbly fangirling on Steely Dan, and in a possibly bigger and better way.
The singer-songwriter has introduced into her set the Dan song she’s indicated she is most obsessed with, the 1972 classic “Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me).”At her first show of 2022, opening a four-night stand at New York’s City Winery, Mann surprised and amused fans by starting the show with her cover of “Brooklyn.” By the third night of the run, with the shock value gone, “Brooklyn” was still in the set, if relegated to her first encore number.
But the message was clear: all, or at least some, was forgiven, and sometimes music appreciation trumps perceived professional slights.
Check out audience footage of Mann performing the Steely Dan cover in the Instagram post below (click through the arrows in the post to get to the third item, the “Brooklyn” excerpt).A post shared by Lola "Vegas shiba" (@lolainnu)As previously reported last month, Mann had said there were no lingering hard feelings over the tour snafu and tweeted, “All is forgiven if Donald just tells me what Brooklyn is about.” The meaning of the song “Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me),” sung by then co-lead vocalist David Palmer on Steely Dan’s 1972 debut album, “Can’t Buy a Thrill,” has puzzled many fans over the decades.
