On Steely Dan’s Walter Becker’s Passing
Despite poking fun at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Steely Dan was still inducted, and did a Q&A comedy bit to further skewer the rock literati. They had sent a letter https://www.steelydan.com/halloffame1.html to the R&R-HOF board, trying to give them some old equipment in exchange for induction, tax breaks and an astronomical fee. Moby presented the award, rather than a Neil Young or Joni Mitchell. “Rock royalty” knew better than to engage the cutting wit of these razor boys. RIP Walter Becker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK7QO9Hx3xM
