Donald Fagen in 1990

This piece is part of the series “From the Archives of Brian Sweet,” in which Expanding Dan joins forces with the author of the definitive Steely Dan biography, Reelin' in the Years, to explore his extensive trove of unpublished interviews. In this edition, we unearth an artifact from Sweet’s deep collection of radio interviews: Donald Fagen’s appearance on New York City FM station K-Rock in November 1989.
