Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen talks “eminent hipsters” and the cultural outliers that shaped his sound. He joins us.
If you want to know what aging rock stars are thinking on stage when they’re still touring at 65, be careful about asking Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen. He hates an awful lot of it. Feels like a performing monkey, he writes. Daydreams about a fire in the hall. Sees a crowd so old he wants to call out bingo numbers. Yikes! Steely Dan was giant in the 1970s. Jazz-pop with a lineage of inspiration that Fagen lays out in a new memoir. The “eminent hipsters,” he writes, that lit up his world. Earl Hines, Charles Mingus, more. Up next On Point: Steely
Dan’s Donald Fagen on the life, and “eminent hipsters.”
