Tonight’s mystery artist once wrote about his aging Classic Rock concert crowds as looking so old he was tempted to start calling out Bingo Numbers. Think you know who our smart-alec might be?

This tidbit was found on an Ultimate Classic Rock post 20 Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Steely Dan.  And our smartass is Donald  Fagen  who admitted he likes to make fun of the aging hippies who attend Steely Dan concerts. Fagen has written that “Tonight the crowd looked so geriatric I was tempted to start calling out bingo numbers." but then adds," By the end of the set, they were all on their feet, albeit shakily, rocking.”

Nice, Donald, you're no spring chicken yourself you know. Tonight’s featured song oddly enough  is one both Fagen and Becker say they are tired of playing live ‘Reeling In The Years’.  the other you ask? 'Ricki Don’t Lose That Number'.

This video is from back when they weren't tired of it yet, purple satin was apparently in style and Bill Cosby was still a cool guy.
