Steely Dan: Ultimate Spinach Meets Naked Lunch's Dildo
Judith Sims, Rolling Stone, 26 April 1973
LOS ANGELES — Steely Dan named itself after William Burroughs' mighty dildo in Naked Lunch. "We just wanted to give the band a little more thrust than most other bands," quipped Donald Fagen. It must have been a good idea; the group's single, 'Do It Again', was a recent Top Ten, and the album, Can't Buy a Thrill, is Top Twenty.
