What's in a name?

Ok, so Steeley Dan, The band. What an awesome name to be wasted on a completely borring band. Or am I missing something? I mean, they are really really boring. Not what you'd expect if someone told you, hey, c'mere, look: this band is named after a dildo in a william s. burroughs story. You'd expect something totally unusual, or exceddingly disturbing, or both maybe. And more. But no, nothing really. Maybe it's good music, I can't tell. I heard it so much when i was a kid that i've lost the ability to hear it objectively. It comes on the radio and i may even smile and feel like i'm on some neverending car ride through vermont on our way to get some necco wafers at our favourite hot truck lookig at all the various cows on the trip. lots of cows. so many flippin' cows. oh god the cows.
