Steely Dan have posted an open letter to Luke Wilson about his brother's latest movie ripping off one of their songs. Either it's one of the funniest tongue-in-cheek self-parodies I've read in a long time, or Spinal Tap was so much truer than any of us believe.

So Steely Dan has a Russian goon that they're going to sic on Owen Wilson unless Owen's brother Luke can get Owen to go to a Steely Dan concert to apologize for something he didn't do? Does Steely Dan know that their song "Cousin Dupree" is about a guy trying to hook up with his own cousin?
Listen. Probably they don't know what the song is about, but more important, I suspect that "Russian" goon is actually a Finnish or Ukranian with a couple semesters of highschool Russian. I think those Wilson brothers and also their sisters, those nice girls from Heart, should lay on some extra security.
This from a band that accepted a Grammy for best Heavy/ Hard Rock band over Metallica.
That was Jethro Tull that took the grammy over Metallica. Steely Dan beat out Eminem a couple of years back for album of the year.
