This conversation took place right around the release of Fagen's 1993 solo album, Kamakiriad, and just months before the announcement that Steely Dan was reuniting.
No music by Donald Fagen, Steely Dan, or anyone else is included in this interview.
If anyone has any further information about this interview, please let me know. Thanks!

The articulation of Donald Fagen underscores the strength of his lyrics, let alone the overall construction of the songs. I think its pure genius, what he was born to do.

[@AAFC733]

Kamakiriad, what an album.

[@tommeredith7079]

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, a unique collaboration of two exceptional artists.

[@M123OCT]

Like 'awesome', the word 'genius' has been so devalued by its repeated use these days. I like to save it for the genuinely deserving: Donald Fagen is one of a very few on my list.

[@pretorious700]

"Tomorrow's Girls" from Kamakiriad is a fantastic track.

[@MattSmith-iq1ld]

Countermoon as well.

[@flstffatboy3910]

All of the tracks are great 👍

[@EnzoFerenczyo]

It was prophetic for sure.

[@GaryFox11000]

One of his greatest songs ! 🏆

[@moonlight-y9b]

Technology is convenient but not essential. Words to live by. Don't answer that stupid phone Dan!

[@allsystemsgo8678]

As you listen to to an interview on KZbin, lol

[@Sulkanator]

Excellent interview. Fagen is a musical genius and it's always great to hear him speak.

Donald fagen is an amazing musician genius and he is still so handsome. Love you Donald

[@MariaLopez-hc2nm]

on THis photo he is... But lately? Still knocks Spots off Ole BOZ... who really was handsome...

[@docwill184]

Always thought of Donald Fagen as if Leave It to Beaver's Eddie Haskell had become a musician...

[@flstffatboy3910]

@@docwill184 yes I get that

[@seleneparis4414]

I love Donald's singing voice; as I thought I would, I love his speaking voice.

[@flstffatboy3910]

Did you see the interview were Donald told Walter he thought that his singing voice sounded like Jerry Lewis the comedian during a certain period of time I thought that was funny

The car ends up "on the dunes." Thanks Donald.

[@jaspal666]

Saw Snowbound on MTV… loved the song. That night headed out to buy the album. My brother said “you’ve heard ONE song and you’re buying the album?” 😂 Yeah. Steely Dan, man! Close enough. One of my fav albums ever.

[@GypsyCatRider]

I think Donald had insight that some can only dream for

[@gregham3308]

Tnx for posting. Kamakoriaid is a fantastic ride! My fav CD I just keep going back to. Great imagery "driving through the seasons". Future world a la Night Fly .Nice hearing Donald's own take on his vision.He has said he prefers the listener to draw their own ideas about his subject matter (see confessions video) - so this interview was a fun look into his head.

[@markkanicki2645]

Thank you for this post. It's good to hear / see things like this, so they are saved for those of us who want to know our heroes aside from the music they record.

[@hansdorenstouter3813]

Thanks from Holland👌

[@SurprisedCentaur-xh5cp]

How they come up with the lyrics and instrumentals and put it together is stellar

[@worldsbesttarot]

I love you Donald❤🎉

[@bryansarracino8623]

That jam Florida Room

[@grundid44]

This interviewer is vastly ignorant of the incredibly creative world of Donald Fagen. I feel bad for Donald having to come down to such a low level to try and help this guy out. It's like a dish washer trying to interview Einstein.

[@UltimateForceMarketing]

Ha..ha! Wow that was an amazing comment indeed!!(@@)

[@EnzoFerenczyo]

He sounds bored.

[@ENigma-um8zw]

Always appreciate *any* Steely Dan interviews. Thanks for sharing!

[@reversefulfillment9189]

I would turn my phone off if I was sitting for a chat with Mr. Fagen. Can't believe the interviewer took the call. WTF? 17:00

[@EnzoFerenczyo]

Lol, That was whackadoo!

[@GypsyCatRider]

Nice clean sound...It is more about the gap between men and women. Love you Donald.

[@podlou9939]

Maybe you should answer the phone? 17:13 😂😂

[@rezathenightfly]

The interviewer is absolutely third rate.

[@andyinoregon]

Love how the thumbnail photo looks like David Schwimmer from "Friends."

[@adamkringel7578]

Fagen and Becker made some great suburban contemporary gothic products.

[@joyrider8882]

Steely Dan and the Eagles in Cleveland in October.

[@ThePoehladian]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Deliberateyawn001]

Could he ever have envisaged a dystopian future where Trump is president? Love his vision of the future.

[@FrankHudsonbass]

@Jeffrey Schwartz Donna would say that

[@romulus_]

Probably. If a clown like Reagan could do it, what was stopping 45?

[@davidwhitney6394]

Listen to Tin Foil Hat, a Donald and Todd Rundgren collaboration.

[@Sunkenballs12]

Still retarded 3 years later, or did you grow up?

[@tiluriso]

True, but I don't think Donald could have envisioned some of the things the current administration is pushing, and/or turning a blind eye to namely Progressive, woke, Identity Politics based DEI, and Jew-hatred & Islamist terrorism support, crossdressed 'Anti-colonialism' and 'Anti Zionism'. I have a feeling he does not approve of either. And neither would've Walter.
