Just a silly love song…with a twist.
Walter Becker
The album Steely Dan were never satisfied with: “Could be blamed on mechanical failure”
Getting wrecked in the mixing stages.
The band that gave Steely Dan their big break: “Our first professional job”
“It was our first professional job, really”.

“…asked me to give it a go.”

An inescapable influence.
