Steely Dan

[Fishy]

In an effort to get this thing moving again, here's the next question.

What is the band Steely Dan named after?
Bonus points if you know the source where they got the name.

It is a little known fact that "steely Dan" is in fact named after a man that the then fledgling band named "bad really stupid hamburger" met whilst touring in lower Slobovia. Apparently this man became so enamoured with the group, that, while watching them, sprouted a rock like erection which he then tourtured the entire band with while keeping them trapped in their trailer. The band was so traumatized by "dan" that they chose to honor this marker in their lives by naming themselves after his likeness. True story. To this day they twitch and pucker upon hearing their band name.
beer me.

Steely Dan got their name from the infamous New York cat burglar "Dan Dan the Clepto Man". ???

Waterboy Dan Kickniki of the Pittsburg Steelers?

A dildo.

Not just any dildo, but a series of fictional Japanese dildos from the William Burroughs novel "Naked Lunch".

Some questions are just too easy.....

When Dan played steel guitar at the "truckers eat free" bar and grill, he used to wear a knit cap not unlike a canadian touqe. So after every set he would stand up tip his hat and moon the crowd. Pretty soon they all called him by name hey Dan Dan we wanna see your bright shining bunghole. Soon he came to only favor the crowds reaction at his pervertedness and had to be jarred back to earth by the dood who said man we want Steely Dan back and it stuck like a pair of loafers in a porno theatre.
