A few excerpts:
"My bid is for a colossal 3d corporate logo to dominate the exhibit space, to
awe and overwhelm the senses of the masses, to induce fibrillation into the

succinctness."—Paul Shotan
"Of course, this studio-replica would have to be equipped with the
Maggie-whatever speakers and Bosendorfer piano and all the other highfalutin'
equipment they mention so fondly in liner notes and other memoirs (hell, maybe
even the dreaded DBX machine that screwed up the 'Katie Lied' tapes should be
in there)."—Miz Ducky
"The Slightly Psychoanalyzed Fictional Steely Dan Collection…We have
assembled the following fictional items that could be placed in the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, all taken from Steely Dan music. While doing so, we found a
few (and are sure there are others) fascinating social deviancies and suchlike
in the two men most likely responsible for the music of Steely Dan. Although we
are highly talented fictional PhD.s, the following notes are based on pure bias
and are not intended to cure or diagnose a disease, or to resolve any impending
drug company disputes." —Frank Felder, Ph.D. & Felicia Felder, Ph.D.
"When said Dan Fan stops spinning, the Dan Fan designated as "it" selects an
illicit or dubious act as suggested by the particular album wedge that stops in
front of her or him. Once the act is performed with or upon the Dan Fan
strapped to the lazy Susan…"— et.al.
