Title: Steely Dan - Good for more than self satisfaction Post by: UD_Delt on July 27, 2006, 01:07:34 PM So it appears Steely Dan has pulled one over on the media with a recent tirade against Owen Wilson and his new movie.

You would think the whole comment about bringing his bongo's and sitting in after the apology should have been a tip-off, if not for the stoned trailing off into nonsense about Russian Navy Seals.

They probably think Donald Fagen's nickname is Steely Dan.

Quote With the core band recruited, Donald and Walter need a name for their group. Since both of them were avid readers of 1950's "Beat" literature, they decided to name the band "Steely Dan" after a dildo in William Burroughs' "Naked Lunch." From the FAQ on their page.

They probably think Donald Fagen's nickname is Steely Dan. I find that hard to believe. I dislike them quite a bit (my girlfriend's favorite band), but who hasn't heard of Steely Dan? We all go to the dentist, right?I'm surprised you guys didn't know it was a dildo. Maybe I'm getting old. |
