Steely Dan - Making of “Peg”

I will never get sick of watching this. 

So, maybe just take a minute and revel in the pure bleaching juggernaut that is my suburban male whiteness. 

You’re welcome.

It is striking to see up close that Becker and Fagen make music the same way that Steve Jobs makes computers. The obsession with minute details. The unforgiving dismissal of inferior solutions.

We love this in men building our computers.

We hate this in men creating our music.

Why is that, exactly?

I know the analogy will chafe many who revere Apple products but feel that Steely Dan’s music is a sterile brand of creativity to be reviled.

Think about it.
