Steely Dan on VH1 "Storytellers"

How did we miss this?!

Never knew Steely Dan did a VH1 "Storytellers" episode back in 2000.

Recently found this gem on YouTube. Donald and Walter and their band of ace musicians talking about and then playing a bunch of classics.

Fun stories from Donald and Walter about the origins of the Steely Dan name (they couldn't use "Becker and Fagen" because it sounded like the name of a delicatessen), the story behind "Kid Charlemagne" (about a drug kingpin in 1970s San Francisco) and more.

Well worth it for Steely Dan fans!
