   I used to get a lot of shit from the people I knew over listening to   
   Steely Dan. Eventually I got to the point where I'd start fights with   
   people who would put me down for liking the Dan. I'm a genius... how   
   dare anyone question my taste... I'll kick their asses.   
      
   Most people on this planet don't know what good music is. Even worse,   
   most people don't understand music at all. This is why I drink.
