It really sucks that after Walter died a few years ago, the Steely Dan webmaster took down all the stuff he made for it back in the early 90s, like this chart on how to stop listening to the Grateful Dead.
I saw this documentary over the weekend and it’s great. Goes all kinds of places you wouldn’t expect. Plus: Deaner is in it!
