Well, the band is called Steely Dan.

Man, musically, that band was in a league of their own. Lyrically, they celebrated debauchery with poetic style, and that’s unfortunate, in my view.

They were truly a product of their era. Drug use and casual sex were considered to be largely consequence-free to an amazing number of people in the '70s, especially any of the artistically inclined.

Given the diversity and cynicism in their lyrics, I don’t think it’s fair to say they “celebrated debauchery”.
