Walter Becker: Hasn't He Grown
Andy Gill, Q, April 1995
WHAT'S WRONG with this picture? Halfway up a volcano on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Walter Becker, one-half of Steely Dan, the most cynical rock'n'roll duo the world has ever known, sits contentedly on the patio out front of his recording studio, munching on a pretzel of course! and taking the afternoon breeze.
