Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic (1974)
The cover photo by Raeanne Rubenstein, one shot divided over front and back, features a pretzel seller. Pretzel is food in a form of twist. This is undoubtly the connection with a part of the album title. Pretzel logic, however, stands for twisted logic or logic that goes nowhere; invalid logic. Maybe here's a connection with the misspelling of the word pretzels on the seller's car.
According to Donald Fagen the lyrics of the title song are about time travel. Is time travel possible or just a perfect example of pretzel logic!?
