Steely Dan, but Paul Shaffer won't shut up!
July 23, 2022
This is the worst interview I have ever seen. Paul Shaffer never shuts up. Poor Donald Fagen can hardly get a word in edgewise. I am surprised Fagen didn't walk out. If he gives a two-word answer, Shaffer will interrupt it. Forget about finishing a sentence, or even starting one! Shaffer continually talks over his guest, and plays over him too. When Fagen finally tells him how much fun it wasn't (19:53), Shaffer doesn't even notice, just keeps blathering on. Incredible - that's narcissism.
A rollicking 2 minutes and 43 seconds.
Around the time of this video, I saw them live, and they were terrific, even without Paul Shaffer.
Update:
I tried to watch this "interview" a second time, but I couldn't. It's just painful.
