Owen Wilson

Jazz rock band Steely Dan is pissed off at actor Owen Wilson, claiming that his new film “You, Me and Dupree” is a rip-off of their song “Cousin Dupree”. They posted a hilarious letter on their website, addressing it to his brother Luke Wilson, suggesting that Owen apologize to their fans on stage at a Steely Dan concert. Owen had an equally hilarious response. Follow all the action on Wikipedia.

Ughhh! No doubt this is a rip-off of Steely Dans song ‘Cousin Dupree’

I guess it’s OK to lift an image or thought here & there, but to be a weasle and say it’s a movie “based on a little dog” from his childhood, makes him an even bigger fool.

Steely Dan is about solid music, Owen is about a chump. Stand-up guy, and dig the truth. Get your own thoughts hollywood.
