13 yo looks at car radio.
“What’s Steely Dan?”
“It’s a band.”
“What does their name mean?”
“It’s the name of a dildo in a book about drugs.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”

It’s called parenting, people.

3. Burroughs influenced so many great artists

Your post got me thinking, so I decided to look up rock musicians who paid homage to him, either in song or band name. It's quite an impressive list:
