Fah - hee

actually, i thought it was "fay-hee". i know someone who played with him one time, that's the way my friend pronounces it.

and steely dan were pretty fucked up for a hugely popular band. they took their name from a dildo in a william burroughs book, and fagan's lyrics sometimes borden on the psychotic. it's like the smoov jazzy west coast sound was a mask for the depravity beneath the surface.

But its definitely 'fah hey' here. Most would even drop the e.

I thought it was closest to "Fay", cos I think that's how John Peel used to say it?
