Sadly, no. I am poked fun at by friends when I pull in with "Hey Nineteen" or "Deacon Blues" blasting. This old bar I used to frequent would ALWAYS play Steely on their system and I would get all giddy. People would look at me all funny. No respect for the Steely I tell ya, no respect. Well, the joke is on them because they just dont know good music with a fun, hidden message. I only say obscure because most people (and I mean MOST) dont see crazy colors that Fagen painted on the music industry. Thats ok.... I do.

And ya, the name is.... shall we say, penetrating.
