...Dublin and Edinburgh and eventually to London's West End. (During one break, they co-starred as the tramps in Waiting for Godot. What's Irish for "busman's holiday"?) Hill, 36, the pudgy, cherub-faced one, grew up in Ballycastle, on the northeast coast. Campion, 41, the angular, rugged-looking fellow, hails from County Kilkenny in the southeast. Together they have more than three decades of stage work under their belt, though neither, oddly, ever landed a movie-extra job. Hill did pick up some work as an extra for British TV in the '80s, a job he liked...
...their little time capsule and remind us just how unlike anyone else they sounded in the first place. Steely Dan never pandered to the teenyboppers anyway, and if anything their jaundiced worldview sounds more apropos today, even as it has mellowed a bit. Tending a little more to the angular and funky than the hook-laden, Fagen and Becker flex their ever-awesome studio chops to stir things up both musically and lyrically, with the infernally catchy rhythm of the title track and the wistfulness and jaunty lechery of "What a Shame About Me" and "Cousin Dupree," respectively...

...building, the Experience Music Project, opens later this week in Seattle, it will be easy to forget that Frank Gehry, who is the world's most famous architect, was once just the world's most famous strange architect. That was in the 1980s, when to some people his angular rethinking looked all elbows. That was also when his mixture of high concept with cheap materials--chain link fencing, corrugated metal, pressed plywood--was getting his work labeled "populist," which generally means brainy but cheap. In 1981, when he was named Architect of the Year by his peers in California...
