Mid-Life Crisis Songs #128: Getting Old Sucks

I'm a big fan of the cartoonist Stephen Collins who does a regular strip in the Saturday Guardian and also wrote the excellent graphic novel The Giant Beard That Was Evil. Above is one of his more recent strips, which I figured might draw some nods of existential approval. I'm hoping you can click on the image to see a larger, readable version. But I'm sure you'll let me know if you can't.

And here's another song from Bowling For Soup, in a similar vein...

We used run wild in the streets now we complain
When cars drive to fast and the music is insanely loud
All the movies are cartoons and remakes of shit 
That was better when we played our music too loud
Now our memories are fading away

  1. That's pretty funny - managed to enlarge it fine. In the doc about boy bands it was noticeable that some members have aged better than others. All in the genes I suppose. As for those who go down the surgical route and the hair transplant/dying one, just awful. Stick to just listening to the old songs on the radio, or even better, the bands have lasted the distance and have aged gradually - Take That?
