   Coming from THE STEELY DAN INTERNET RESOURCE..   
   The following interview with Donald and Walter first appeared in   
   Musician magazine, circa 1980   
      
   MUSICIAN: Are you familiar with a Keith Jarrett record Belonging,   
   particularly a tune called "Long as you know you're living yours"?   
      
   BECKER: Yes.   
      
   MUSICIAN: Have you ever listened to that up against "Gaucho"?   
      
   BECKER: No.   
      
   MUSICIAN: I'm not casting any aspersions now, but in terms of the tempo   
   and the bass line and the saxophone melody it's pretty interesting.   
      
   BECKER: Parenthetically it is, yeah [uneasy laughter]   
      
   MUSICIAN: At this point the reporter traditionally asks the cornered   
   politican or athlete to "go off the record."   
      
   FAGEN: Off the record, we were heavily influenced by that particular   
   piece of music.   
      
   BECKER: I love it.   
   [Becker and Fagen later approved their "off the record" responses for   
   publication.]
