We're going back, Jack, and we're doing it again with another angle on the Steely Dan story. Last time we were listening to Donald Fagen complain about hotel pools with Matthew Perpetua; this time we're talking about the freaky characters of Steely Dan's lyrical universe with writer Alex Pappademas and artist Joan LeMay, who together created the book 'Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan.' We get into the gentleman-loser trope so common in Dan tunes, marvel at the absurdity of Steely Dan's recording budgets, and ponder the existence of the Squonk and its tears. Enjoy!
