From masterpiece album "Pages" (1981).

Richard Page : "The song "O.C.O.E." was really a fictitous acount of a person who adheres to whatever the styles and behaviors are of the decades he lives through, starting with the sixties and ending with the eighties ... when, as you are aware the song was written (1980 to be exaxt ... I think). The poor guy never quite figures out who he really is ... not that any of the rest of us ever have either ... anyway, John Lang and I hatched this idea sitting on the sunny deck of my future wife Linda's house in the mountains 7000 feet above Palm Springs, CA. Steve George had a huge part in writing the music ... the more experimental the better for Steve.

The memory that leaps out most about the recording of that song is the incredible playing by Vinnie Colaiuta, in particular, Neil Stubenhaus, Charles Johnson and Steve George. I remember thinking how unusual the song was and that it was really obscure and nobody would ever like it except us."

The first two Pages albums ("Pages 1978" and "Future Street") are on iTunes and Amazon as well. I purchased them recently and put them on my iPod.

Wow. I did not know that. I saw Colauita in 1983 with Joni Mitchell--Possibly the best band she ever had (out of many good bands). I saw this tour: watch?v=UdzdWs0go6U

Sort of lke Steelie Dan - ish. I mean that as a compliment of course. Say hello to Ann and Nancy for me when you see them. I hope all is well with you Richard. This song is very musical. Easy to get along with. I like it.

@70sdiscobabe - it's interesting....when disco was dying, there was a vacuum that was filled with fantastic L.A. music. You had David Foster waiting in the wings. Quincy was helping disco crossover with Brothers Johnson, Michael Jackson, Ambrosia and others. I've always thought that era from about '78 to '81 was one of the more interesting eras in music although the top 40 couldn't have been worse! Great and simple post! Cheers!

OCOE & AUTOMATIC by Page are great examples of a perfectly twisted jazz/rock fusion mind at its best! Being a songwriter I know this genre doesn't sell well (i.e. "Broke Wing"), but it sure has your peers saying, "Man......Beautiful!" I'm a Gadd guy, but Vinnie Colaiuta carries this so elagantly! RP is still a hero of mine, 30+ years later!

Steely Dan-Toto-Pages. Well that would be a clear through merger given that Jeff Pocaro played in all three bands and 1500 other albums in his too short life.
