So many "classic rock" celebrities wound up being kiddie creepers (and even singing about it!) that lyrics that say "baby" really bother me these days. (hexbear.net)

It just makes the boomers whole "forever young" ethos all the more creepy. They really did become the generation that had a mid-life crisis that never ended and made it everyone's problem.

I used to think "mid-life crisis" was an inevitability when I saw it presented on screens when I was a kid: that someday I'd be in my 40s and need to be in denial about it and have a convertible and a leisure suit and try to hit on women half my age.

That was just boomers telling on themselves. I'm well into my 40s and that didn't happen, not even in a "wearing neon and spiking my hair 80s style" way.
