Steely Dan

[Big Dick McGee]

I just like them, ok? Is that so fucking wrong???

 

[Gagh]

So do I.

Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowin' away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

No less a personage than the Great and Powerful Jimmy Page has declared that Elliot Randall's guitar solo in "Reelin' in the Years" is his favorite guitar solo of all time!

 

[Cassie]

They're so steely!

They took their name from the vibrator in "Barbarella"! So within that movie, you have a great band (Steely Dan) and a mediocre band (Duran Duran) taking their name! What're the odds? Pretty slim I'd say! How about you? What would you say? Sometimes, when I get nervous and I can't stop talking, I stick my fingers under my armpits and I smell 'em like this! MARY KATHERNIE GALLAGHER, SUPERSTAR!

 

[Cassie]

OMG, ME TOO!

It was originally the name of a dildo in William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch.

And yes: I've been a staunch defender of the band for decades.

Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
any minor world that breaks apart falls together again

I even like Donald Fagen's solo stuff (well, The Nightfly and Kamikiriad, anyway).

And Walter Becker produced what was possibly Rickie Lee Jones' greatest album, Flying Cowboys.

WURD.
