Alex wrote a book called Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan (beautifully illustrated by Joan LeMay). It\\u2019s a fantastic book about one of the most interesting bands of all time. They were a rock/pop/jazz band that wasn\\u2019t really a band, decided not to tour cause it was too much hassle, settled for nothing short of perfection, had no interest in fame, so cool they didn\\u2019t care a whit about being cool. I\\u2019m guessing Banksy is a fan of Steely Dan. Hope you dig the convo.
