Cassidy in New Yorker

[Louis Proyect]

When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it'
Til I satisfy my soul
Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll
When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim
I guess I'll change my name.

  
--Steely Dan, "Black Friday"

Mat Forstater might get a kick out of this. Steely Dan was made up of Bard
College graduates and many of their songs contain allusions to life on the
campus. One of my favorite songs is "Wheelin' in the Years" which is jammed
with references to life up at Bard.
