  Pretzel_Logic
Steely Dan's third album Pretzel Logic is a fantastic collection of songs that have inferences of their beginnings, as well as hints of the future of Dan; more jazz styling in their writing including more horns and a using a larger pool of studio musicians.
Pretzel Logic has a superb flow to the album and it has its predicable collection of a few outstanding songs accompanied with many good compositions rounding out the album.
Pretzel Logic is quite diverse in musical styles as "Night by Night" displays funk, "Pretzel Logic" hints at blues, in a Steely Dan way, "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" beautifully incorporates acoustic guitars creatively, and their version of Duke Ellington's ragtime track "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" emphasize their jazz abilities.

Pretzel Logic marked a transition for Steely Dan from a studio-bound rock band producing hits such as "Reeling in the Years" and "Do It Again" to a looser constellation of studio musicians under the direction of songwriters Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.
Pretzel Logic is much more playful than that, and also jazzier than the albums that came before.

 BBC News | AMERICAS | Bush makes light of pretzel scare
Sporting an angry red bruise on his cheek, the president joked with reporters about the incident as he left the White House on a two-day tour of the Mid-West.
The president's doctor said Mr Bush had been feeling unwell for a couple of days, and he lost consciousness for a short time when his heart rate slowed after he choked on the salty snack.
According to Dr Tubb, this made him more prone to fainting when the pretzel stimulated a nerve when it got caught in his throat.

 RollingStone.com: Pretzel Logic : Steely Dan : Review
Like the earlier LPs, Pretzel Logic makes its own kind of sense: On a typical track, rhythmic patterns that might have worked for Astrud Gilberto, elegant pop piano, double lead guitars, and nasal harmony voices singing obscure phrases converge into a coherent expression.
While it's disconcerting to be stirred by language that resists comprehension, it's still difficult not to admire the open-ended ambiguity of the lyrics.
But along with Pretzel Logic's private-joke obscurities (like the made-up jargon on "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" and "Through With Buzz"), there are concessions to the literal: "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" makes sense as a conventional lover's plea, while "Barrytown" takes a satirical look at class prejudice.

But this is probably more a reflection of the strength of their other recorded output than "Pretzel Logic" itself.
Steely Dan's third album, 1974's "Pretzel Logic," was the last album the group made before co-leaders Walter Becker & Donald Fagen decided to quit touring altogether and make the recording studio their exclusive musical laboratory, using various top-notch session players to help them flesh out their latest creations.
Without foregoing their flare for rock, "Pretzel Logic" finds Steely Dan in a looser, jazzier mode.

 The Spoof - Pretzel Logic
On January 13, 2002 while President George W. Bush was at home in the White House all alone, watching a football game and munching on pretzels, he suffered a serious mishap involving a fainting spell when he choked on a pretzel.
The cunning pretzel clawed at, then finally grabbed and constricted the presidents throat, causing his blood pressure to fall and knock him out.
At the time of this writing the pretzel is being held by John Ashcroft’s Justice Department at the military installation at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

 portland imc - 2004.11.13 - Game Boy: The Pretzel Logic of Selection '04
And the chunks of evidence now rolling in -- like so many cracked shells of fact in a high tide of pompous drivel -- increasingly indicate that millions of votes were indeed monkeyed with on the way to amassing George W. Bush's teeny-tiny one percent majority last week.
It seems we were all a bit too quick to concede the reality of Li'l Pretzel's "mandate." For example, in county after county, state after state, unprecedented discrepancies between the exit polls and the final result turned up -- in areas that used electronic voting, that is, usually without a recountable paper trail.
In almost every such case, exit poll leads for John Kerry -- sometimes very substantial leads, beyond the realm of statistical error -- were converted in the end to narrow victories for Bush.
