They Stabbed It With Their Steely Knives

Since the day I learned about this, I have always liked the fact that Steely Dan was referenced in the Eagles most famous song, Hotel California.

As a matter of fact, a fan made CD from a Steely Dan Fan page in the early part of the 2000's, Under the Banyan Trees, was called Steely Knives. You can sort of catch the spirit of the CD from this page, with (probably broken links) to mp3 copies of the songs...but I digress.

Here, via screen captures, is part of the story from one of the principals, Glenn Frey. (If you have trouble reading them, click on the photos).
