Yes, if a senile old man records an album and everybody says itâ€™s genius Iâ€™ll probably be the one saying â€œno, actually heâ€™s just senile.â€

It’s been done, kinda.

Whatever, schizo, senile… your chances of surviving long enough to get old and shuffle around the nursing home in Depends are nil, so why should you worry?

Speaking of schizo, I assume that you have Brian Wilson lined up?

How about I just say I’m schizophrenic, use it to my advantage, and then if I actually become schizophrenic everybody’s happy?

The elderly drool and shit themselves. They’ve lived so long so they could drool, shit themselves and kvetch about the service they get at Denny’s. Yes, if a senile old man records an album and everybody says it’s genius I’ll probably be the one saying “no, actually he’s just senile.” I take it all as it comes.

Despite the above mentioned, all the elderly bashing I could ever do is summed up perfectly in one of my all time favorite album covers:

I agree, I never thought Syd was quite a looney as he made himself out to be……He got sick of the musicbiz and took an easy way out! Talk about genius, lazy smart diamond……me thinks 100%.

Bless his soul!

Maybe it’s just me, but I am forever utterly fucking charmed by the lyrics of “Here I Go.”

Actually, if Oliver wants to pick on the elderly, i’m sure a Rolling Stones roast would be amusing…

… Marc Bolan isn’t the rightful heir? I totally didn’t get that memo.

Oliver, I hope you become schizophrenic and get accused of using it to your advantage. So you’ve moved from bashing the overweight to the mentally unstable… I assume that the elderly are next on your list?
