Yes. He actually called me right before he passed. Said he was saved. I thanked him. He hung up. Passed away.

RIP.

RIP

Walter Becker, co-founder of the influential jazz-rock band Steely Dan, died on Sunday at age 67, according to his website, which did not disclose the cause of death.

Becker, who played lead guitar, formed Steely Dan with Donald Fagen, its keyboardist and lead vocalist. In its heyday in the 1970s, the band scored hits with “Reelin’ in the Years,” “Do It Again,” “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” and “Deacon Blues.”

Born in New York City in 1950, Becker grew up revering the jazz giants Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and John Coltrane. He and Fagen would bond over their love of this music after meeting as students at Bard College in New York in 1967.

If, as you claim, everyone is saved, then why do you get so butthurt over the question?^

you asked is he saved and I answered yes

how does answering your question = butt hurt

why do you make this same post every time someone dies?

If you're going to keep doing this at least ask the honest question which in your case would be "did this person have the same religious belief that I have"

just wondering why you keep making these things

what difference do his religious beliefs make to anyone but him?

Brilliant musicians. Very demanding to work with. There's great footage on YT about how they recorded.
Still relatively young to pass away at only 67

wrong again

I couldn't care less what Walter Becker believed

All I did was respond to the question which you asked

Obviously you care since you started this thread (identical to other threads and or comments you've made when someone has died).  

If you want to deny that I'll be glad to post a few.

My question to you is why you keep asking this question when someone dies

What difference does it make to you what this guys religious beliefs were ?

you can keep saying meltdown all day long but all you're doing is avoiding an honest inquiry about your own posts

why not just explain why you do this

what's the big deal.  Given how frequently you do this there must be some reason so no need to be coy or feel ashamed or whatever reason you have to avoid answering a simple question

how can I stalk someone who makes a thread asking a question and then gets upset when someone replies to the question

what difference does it make to you if anyone is "saved"?

it's obviously important to you since you've asked the same question many times

why are you afraid to discuss the very subject that you've brought up so many times?

again, it's impossible to stalk someone who is responding to you

why are you starting threads and then are unwilling to actually discuss the topic of the thread that you started

I love this band.
