Despite the band's longevity, and the death of one of their founding members, a new generation is discovering Steely Dan and finding their lyrics to be both accessible and inscrutable.

In their new book, Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan, author Alex Pappademas and illustrator Joan LeMay explore the worlds and characters created by Steely Dan through essays and images.

Zoe Winters is an OBIE award-winning actor known to theater audiences for her roles in off-Broadway shows like "Heroes of the Fourth Turning" and "White Noise." But TV audiences will recognize her as Kerry, the "Succession" character who first appeared in the second season as Logan Roy's assistant and rose to the position of close advisor and romantic partner.
