Hi all,
since I'm Dutch I don't really know all the finesses of the english
language. Someone however gave me a hint about the name Steely Dan meaning
something. This person wouldn't tell me what. So this is why I'm asking.
TIA.

Well a "Steely Dan" is a steam powered dildo featured in the William Burroughs
book Naked Lunch. Hope that helps, and if I have got it wrong I am sure
someone else in the group will correct me, or add more detail.

from steelydan.com (the faq)
>>... Donald and Walter need a name for their group. Since both of them were
avid readers of 1950's "Beat" literature, they decided to name the band "Steely
Dan" after a dildo in William Burrough's "Naked Lunch."<<
