And then I remembered that the hilarious Iron Prostate had anticipated all this on their epochal (but alas out of print) 1991 album Loud, Fast and Aging Rapidly.
On a song called ('natch) "Rock 'n' Roll Nursing Home."
The opening lyrics:
I wander the halls under fluorescent lightAnd it just keeps getting better, actually. In fact, "Baby, let me take you for a ride on my Craftmatic Bed/Don't take much longer to decide because tonight you may be dead" may be the greatest couplet in the history of the world.
Don't even know if it's day or night
And it don't matter because I don't care
Got my Ramones albums and my blue-gray hair
In a rock rock rock rock rock 'n' roll nursing home
There's no place else I'd rather be
Than in a rock rock rock rock rock 'n' roll nursing home
It's laxatives and Geritol for me
Hey!

And Little Feat's "Old Folks Boogie" is no longer ironic, Steve.
As it's been said: Be careful what you wish for..."

Rolling Stones Tour: Mick Jagger & Friends Will Hit The Road For 50th Anniversary

This Iron Prostate song reminds of how much silly fun Punk could be, and also how bad. And I don't mean the "cool as a rule" bad I mean the "sometimes bad is bad" bad.
