Old and Crotchety


Evening Babies,

Tonight I’m feeling worn. Tired. Shabby, but certainly not chic.

I feel like an old lady.

Naturally, all I want to do is go to sleep.

In honor of my decrepit state, I would like to introduce you all to One Foot In The Grave, self-anointed “Oldest Punk Band in the World.”

They hail from the retirement community of Sun City, Arizona, and their lead singer, JoDina Errichetti, is a ripe young thing at 67. Her day job consists of selling books (ANARCHIST BOOKS!) and globes (OF FIRE!) to schools.

In the band’s own words (kind of), One Foot is all about fucking shit up with their geriatric-slaying blend of Geritol and p-p-p-punk.


Their repertoire includes such favorites as “Menopause,” “Golf Cart Drivers from Hell,” and “Aches, Pains, Capital Gains.” Of course, they also cover such punk staples as “Sedated,” and “Sheena.”

Really though, I’ll take songs about ceding menstrual cycles any day. Any fucking day.

All I can say is that at 67, I hope I still know how to rock. Because every time I leave my rock arena, whether it’s for the land of academia or an extra-super-duper (+/- one more duper)long masturbation session, I only come out feeling old and tired.

Love, DJ AMAZON

that is us in 40 years no joke. except we will obviously be better in the musical talent department, but i don't think its possible to be much hotter than the lead singer so sorry about that.
