I am sure many people on here already know this, and if I recall this may have been a “pop up” on VH1’s Pop Up Video edition for the Paul Simon hit, “You Can Call Me Al” music video but I just read that Chevy Chase often played drums with fellow Bard College students Walter Becker and Donald Fagen in Steely Dan precursor band, The Leather Canary.
The excellent new book Quantum Criminals is a mindbending tour of the Steely Dan universe, capturing the songs, legend, and negative charisma of a weirdly timeless band
Steely Dan's songs of monied decadence, druggy disconnection and self-destructive escapism seemed satirically extreme way back when. Now they just seem prophetic.
