Please don't post my email with any identifying information such as email
address or handle. Thank you for your cooperation.

I have answered some of the fans email from the last email bag, I try to do
what I can to help the other fans, especially ones that have the thirst of
knowledge to know more about the band and don't make it their lives or
think that the only true fans are the ones that know SD inside out and
backwards. I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of talk about a
screenplay for a SD related movie or such on the Sign In Stranger
Guestbook. I wouldn't mind contributing my ideas for something like this
but without any solicitation or formal call for such contributions from
Mssrs. Fagen and Becker, I feel that it's a little weird to do so. I love
SD as a musical group but since I haven't heard anything official from them
I haven't contributed anything to the screenplay discussion on the GB. I
don't want to seem selfish for not doing so, I have ideas of my own, but
they are not very clear at the moment since I have never seriously thought
of writing such a screenplay. If there is some sort of official notice
that the boys are interested in such input, I'll gladly participate and
share my ideas, but I don't want to appear obsessive by posting plots on
the GB.

Sincerely,

walter-

i was only half asleep this morning, monitoring the feed when to my utter
bemusement the strains of "black cow" came out of, of all things, mtv. i
thought perhaps this was some sort of tie-in to the whole hall of fame sham.

however, i was disappointed to discover it was Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz with
their release "Deja Vu". frankly, while i love all things Dan their incessant
looping of the opening strains of b.c. became really irritating underneath
their unimaginative rap.
for the record, i am not anti-sampling (de la soul being a particularly
creative example & i loved 37 hours in the u.s.a).

i felt dirty after it was all over. i hope you & donald are getting paid boo-
koo moolah for these hacks looping your material. if not, go for punitive
damages!

Mr. Donald Fagen
Steely Dan

Dear Donald:

At last I have found an e-mail address for Steely Dan and I hope this
message will reach you. I just want to tell you that for me you are GOD.
I have each and every Steely Dan and Donald Fagen album and rarely
listen to anything else. I work at the American Embassy in New Delhi,
India, but also pursue music on the side. I am a member of a popular
rock band called "Nirvana" and we play many of your songs like Rikki,
Babylon Sisters, Do It Again, Bodhisattva and Kid Charlmagne. We also
have a small, but growing, music appreciation club where we discuss and
study your songs. The American community loves it when we play Steely
Dan songs at American Embassy gigs. They tell us that we do Dan really
well.

I was in the U.S. last year and tried very hard to find out how and where
one can find you. I failed. Earlier, I missed your September 5, 1996
concert in Amsterdam which made me miserable. Now, a couple of requests:


i. Please let me have the Steely Dan / Donald Fagen fan mail address so
that I can write regularly.

ii. I am crazy about your solo efforts, too, like Nightfly and
Kamakiriad and want to know when you or Dan are coming out with the next
album.

iii. If possible, I would love to have an autographed picture of you,
preferably with Walter Becker, which I can enlarge and paste up on my
bedroom wall. In great anticipation,

Your greatest living fan,

Raja Bhattacharya

Dear Donald & Walter?

A few little enquiries....

i) Was Walter in my little neighbourhood of Primrose Hill about a year
and a half ago, as I'm sure I saw him walking past a Greek restaurant
called Lemonia in Regents Park Road? Answering this question would
settle a rather long-standing argument with a friend.

ii) How insulted were you, Donald, by Howard Jones's abomination of a
cover of "IGY"? I still shudder when I think about it myself.

iii) Will compact disc still be a widely used format come the release
date of the next Steely Dan album or will your new offering only be
available through some digital download procedure? (Ho, ho).

Much love from London.

Olly.

Mr Becker and Fagen,

Hi from San Diego, what's new? I have a few redundant questions that
I wanted to know about. I first saw the Rock and Soul revue in
Southampton, and then saw the SD tour in Providence, and enjoyed it
immensely. The old songs sounded brand new, and the "Gen Xers" love you
guys....
Is there any way for you to control the output of your early
material? I heard that "Jay Black" owned it, which honestly sucks,
because he isn't even the real Jay, as I found out. But would you ever
put out some sort of rarities thing, with live tracks and the first
single? I found it on an old import, and "Sail the Waterway" wasn't too
bad. And anything on a video of some sort, for the people that weren't
able to see you live?
Other than that, good luck on your future endeavors, and am
looking forward to see what's next!

Thanks,
Danny

Subject: A possible job offer!

Howdy from Texus!

Listen, I have a simple proposition in mind. I am a cook working
on his second undergraduate degree (plus possibly a higher degree if
it will get me out of this sweatbox so I can oversee the sweat of
others). I work in a vegetarian restaurant. O.K. so I eat meat, so
what. They put up with me. I also am not vegan, although I am
constantly coming up with brilliant recipes that would sate those from
Vega. Gee, I digress.
Anyway, my idea is simple. College just isn't giving me the
escape I need. Instead of spending my earnings on books, pens, etc.
that would support the "collegiate" approach to success, I have put a
significant portion of my earnings into the lottery. I know it is a
silly pipe dream (unlike finding a job with a degree these days).
Still I am determined. When I win I want to move on with a bang. I
have come to care a lot for those poor suckers I work with who slave
away at the restaurant, vainly hoping to finish their degrees and get
those high-powered jobs we all were promised.
Simply, when I win the Lotto I want to say adios in style. I
thought I would hire you to play my last shift. Of course I know you
guys could ask high dollar for a show these days. Basically, what I
am getting at, is... What is your price? If all works out I could pay
a large sum. I figure you could set up in a corner of the kitchen and
serenade me (and my fellow workers of course) my last shift. Now I
have to admit that the building is old. It was the first 7-11 in
Austin. They have had the devil's time trying to run the plumbing
through what used to be a hand sink. And electricity, well, I would
probably have to rent a few generators just to run one amp. Still, I
have my dream. So if you are interested drop me a line. I bet you
might need some place to practice if Hawaii gets boring. Even if this
lottery plan fails, gosh, I would sure like to have some good tunes in
the kitchen, even for a few minutes. you see, the radio is on the
blink.
Let me know what you think.

Always,
Mike Anderson

Hell--When I first read the ol' SD mailbag, I thought it was great. Now I'm
not as sure. From you I expected better achievement...in addition--I now tend
to believe that you psychologically forgot about these entries...

$$ Superhighway Answer Key $$

1) "What a beautiful world this would be" is a line from the song IGY. Itappears on
The Nightfly album. Question from 2/2/98.

2) "Heard the call and they wrote it on the wall, for you and me--we understood."
From Caves of Altamira. Also from 2/2.

3) "Who wrote that tired seasong, set on this peaceful shore?"
Answer--Homer,
who wrote a novel called The Odyssey. Well worth reading. In the song,SD is
comparing the pressures of the road to the tribulations of Odysseus, who was
tied to the mast of his ship in order to avoid the temptations of the Sirens. The
Sirens were mythical creatures, with the body of birds and the heads of
women. They would sing a beautiful melody from shore, thereby luring
mariners to their deaths. Odysseus was returning to his home in Ithaca,
which turned out to be a ten year journey, after fighting in the Trojan War.

4) "And I'm never going back to my old school" --Bard College, Annondale- on
Hudson, NY. As is well-known from your great shows, this line is
interpreted as a metaphor.

5) Kid Charlegmane's secret identity: one vote for K. Kesey
Anyone interested in finding out what the 60' s were really about (forget The
Wonder Years, etc.), read Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

6) "Wie lieblich ist deiner Wohnigen, Herr Sabaaoth"...
From the fourth movement of A German Requiem, by Johannes Brahms.
This has absolutely nothing to do with SD. Frieden.

1. Royal Ground on College Ave....strong, very strong...and they'll even
create any blend that you request......try the Gaucho gutrencher (two
shots of esspresso and a pinch of Nescafe)

2. Peets....dark, somber, turns you into a unibomber lookalike....

3.Firenze.....best cappucino in downtown Berkeley.....don't be fooled by
those politically correct shops on Telegraph....

4.Red Cafe....great pastries....pretty girl behind counter...........

......so Walter don't go to that place over on College Ave that I saw
you at last year.....they were part of that coffee bean
conspiracy.....pretending it was high grade Ethiopean when it was
actually brewed by some guy named Joe in Hoboken!

And if you guys need some good coffee I can fed ex some from my job here

money for items such as autographed albums, clothing, correspondence,

Let me start by saying that Steely Dan is definately the best band. That is why I was so upset to hear two videos on mtv which seem to of plagerised your songs. The first video used the little (I think the word is arpegio) string of sounds from THE FEZ. It is a song by a trio of black ladies. The name of the group is All Saints. The name of their song is I Know Where It's At.

The next song (I'm sorry I couldent record more of the song informaiton) is by Lord Tarus (Taris?), Uptown Baby (?). Either way I heart it on mtv, the ladder song I think plagerizes some sonds from Black Cow, or Deacon Blues, I can't remember. I love you guys, I just felt that you should know.

continues to touch me, year after year. I have a rack full of cd's that
I no longer listen to, music that has grown stale or has lost it's hold
over me, but you guys still manages to tickle my spinal column every
time I hear your stuff. I hate to sound like yet another babbling fan,
I have no idea what you guys think about those you entertain, but your
music has truly been the soundtrack of my life, and I'd just like to
thank you for it. It's funny reading over this, it doesn't seem like
the kind of thing that you'd want to hear, far too heartfelt and not
enough irony, but what the hell. On a final, less sappy note, I have a
double cd called "Catalyst". I don't know if you cringe at the mention
of it or not, but I, as well as a number of other foaming at the mouth
Dan fanatics, have really grooved on a number of the tracks. In our
humble and irrelevant opinion you guys should really think about
re-recording a few of them. Well, the sap is beginning to run over the

Hey "Guys!"

You want to tell this person I ain't you? Why is it these types of messages always arrive from AOL members? Am I not clear enough? Maybe I should try to sing or play the guitar for them. That'd give it away....

GO GADDDD!!!

Howdy!

Do I win anything for being able to whistle Larry Carlton's solo from
"I Got the News" note for note?

Just wondering.

ahem...you mean WALTER BECKER's solo from "I Got the News"? No prize for you, buddy - but good taste is its own reward.
