Cugalabanza Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I disagree. I think it's a crappy letter. First of all, Owen had no hand in the writing, directing or producting of the Dupree movie. It sounds like Steely Dan has a legitimate gripe, but take it up with the producers. What's the point of publicly insulting both of the Wilson brothers? They just come off like bitter washed up pricks. Besides, I think both Owen and Luke have been good in several good movies. And they have some nerve calling the Wilsons out for fluff roles, considering Steely Dan has been on the same greatest hits tour for three decades.
BUFFALOTONE Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Hey Luke 729855[/snapback] sorry man, that was lame

I think it's hilarious. Especially their informal writing style that is trying to sound so hip it's like "The Dude" wrote it in all seriousness.

RuntheDamnBall Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 still lame 729955[/snapback] That's kind of the point. The band wrote the letter, which only accentuates their lameness.

They definitely show some true colors (mostly brown). I couldn't tell, by the weird writing style, if they were trying to mock Luke as if he's really dumb and talks like that or if they are actually just that burned out and think they're cool.
Chef Jim Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Hint: I don't like Steely Dan...... 729949[/snapback] ......I just hang out at their website.
RuntheDamnBall Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 ......I just hang out at their website. 729965[/snapback] A friend (a big Wilson bros fan) emailed this to me. I'm pretty sure he found it on a website related to them.

Chef Jim Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Ah, what the hell. I like a good train wreck. 729991[/snapback] Oh I do too, just not ones written by Cheech and Chong. What the hell was that?
Cugalabanza Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I'm glad I read the letter. I already knew I didn't like Steely Dan, but now I can allow myself to feel a little self-righteous about it.

I can't believe the way this is being reported. The Dan did a similar thing years ago with the R&R Hall of Fame. The entire thing is a tongue-in-cheek spoof.
Cugalabanza Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 It's a JOKE, for Christ's sake. 730078[/snapback] I read it again with this in mind. Lame. Very lame. Unfunny and lame.

The Tomcat Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 sorry man, that was lame 729947[/snapback] Read the first 2 paragraphs and had to stop... Sorry dude, I agree w/Tone
