Was ‘The Sopranos’ to blame for the rebirth of Steely Dan?
A fool to do your dirty work
Walter Becker
The 2008 album that brought an end to Steely Dan: “He didn’t want to do that anymore”
Nothing was the same.
The two Steely Dan songs the band can’t stand: “It’s been played so much”
“I think it’s ‘well-written,’ but it’s so simple”.
The 1980 Steely Dan and Mark Knopfler song that ended in tears: “A strange experience”
Loveable misanthropes.

A stunning piece of music.
