But let's also remember that a lot of viewers (especially younger ones) don't know much about the band either. Regardless of whether or not Couric knows anything about The Dan, the producers would tell her to play dumb and ask open questions anyways.

I'm 17 and am a huge fan, but only because of my parents.

that my friends is talent! No autotune, no miming, just talent. RIP Cornelius, and thank you

1-10-2012. It's no bore. Donald is 64. Happy Birthday, DF. And to you wanna-be's of today: This is how it's done.

Anyone else struggle to sleep at night without some STEELY DAN ! ??

@MegaMaryThomas remember Claudia Lennear and Cathy McDonald...They were amazing back up singers

Couric acted like a complete imbecile, which actually played in her favor as Fagen has been known to get very unpleasant in some interview situations. The guy is brilliant but he lives on another planet.

@brakmatik13 I don't think age has much to do with music preference, but I'm a musician- maybe it's different. What was funny is that Couric prob knew they were f-ing with her! They both have a beautifully dry sense of humor, and are light years ahead of (probably) all of us who have viewed this. =)

Dude... that 17 years was worth the wait. Two Against Nature is a KILLING album!!

[rkl17]

Outstanding..... Brought back a flood of warm youthful memories, while at the same time this wasa damn fine performance!

[TheBalcom]

That was one of the best performances you'll ever see on the show. It's amazing when you put good musicians together, you get good music. Then we have to sit through shit like Jennifer Lopez and/or Hanson :-0

[chiquidean]

They're missing Michael McDonald on vocals.....this is good, but he really makes the song!

[ONLY1PEA]

@MegaMaryThomas U R absolutely right. I take it you've seen the vid of the making of PEG. Very revealing!!!

[MegaMaryThomas]

@ONLY1PEA YES YES YES YES YES! Man FINALLY I thought that I was the only one after listening to all these clips of different background singers singing PEG the background singers are hurting me! I have always made it a point as a background singer to study what WORKS and Michael McDonald's backgrounds (he did all the parts sigh) WORK!

[ONLY1PEA]

Micheal McDonald by himself has better backing vocals than those ladies.

[skyvastmind]

better with age...
