Steely Dan is demanding an apology from Owen Wilson for his recent role in the movie, "You, Me and Dupree." The band, known mostly for its hits in the 70's, insits that the movie's title character is lifted from their grammy award-winning song about a hormonal houseguest called, "Cousin Dupree."
“when it came time to change the character’s name or whatever so people wouldn’t
know what a rip the whole (censored word) thing was, they didn’t even bother to
think up a new (censored word) name for the guy!” say band leaders Walter Becker
and Donald Fagen.
The Wilson brothers' publicist has declined to comment on the issue, so allow me. I stand by the Wilsons' decision not to make any apologies and would like to confess that when I was child, my mom named my first dog, Aja. Yes, right from the (censored word) Steely Dan album and (censored word) song of the same name.
According to imdb.com,
Mike LeSieur is the writer responsible for this project. Not Owen Wilson. If Steely Dan feels they can demand apologies from people who are not responsible for the action in question, then I will do so as well. I hereby demand an apology from Steely Dan for demanding an apology from Owen Wilson.
