Shut in sounds: Donald Fagen's "New Frontier"

Soon after the sheltering-in-place orders started being issued, this wonderful song (and video) from Donald Fagen’s 1982 Grammy-nominated solo album Nightfly began popping into my head. All these weeks later, it hasn’t left.

“We’ve got provisions and lots of beer
The key word is survival on the new frontier”

Indeed, except we don’t have lots of beer and we’re having a hard time laying in the provisions. Where’s the 50s fallout shelter when we need it?
