Aimee Mann, S+D

Maybe she was dropped from the tour after Steely Dan heard that she referred to them as assholes

Did she?

It's two quotes up, part of a Pitchfork interview

Clicked through the tweet to Pitchfork and also to the instagram but didn't quite see the quote in question.

The "asshole" quote is under the Steely Dan entry in the Pitchfork interview above the tweet. The "female singer-songwriter" quote is from the comic.

Do Steely Dan not know they're assholes?

Oh, sorry! It was hiding there in plain sight, I can’t read this morning, too much time on ILX, you know the drill.

Do Steely Dan not know they're assholes?

They don't give a fuck about anybody else.

That may be the nicest way to call somebody an asshole that I have ever seen.

Response by Fagan (via a statement "shared with Pitchfork"):

Well, first of all, the idea that I would make any decision based on the gender of a performer is ridiculous. That’s something that would never even occur to me.

There was a communication problem on our end. I was misinformed as to how firm the commitment was to any particular opening act. And, although I have the greatest respect for Aimee as a writer and performer, I thought it might not be the best matchup in terms of musical style.

But I can’t pass the buck. I’ll take the blame for the screwup. I apologize for any distress this has caused Aimee and her fans.

Some of his best wives are female singer-songwriters.

The upside to this is that she can now do her own tour and people won't be forced to listen to Steely Dan in order to enjoy her performance.
