Kevin Bacon: Too Old forPlayboy
By encinoman
Sorry BabyBoomers, you&;re too old for Playboy. It&;s not an indignity limted just to women born in &;64 and before; the tyranny of youth applies to guys as well.
Actor Kevin Bacon was summarily dumped from a scheduled Playboy interview because an editor decided he was &;too old.&; Miffed that he couldn&;t join his acting idols Lee Majors and Telly Savalas in its hallowed pages, (he apparently read Playboy for the articles), Bacon wrote this song.
Oh, Playboy will gladly take your money, even if you&;re out of its desired demographic. But then you&;ll end up writing letters like this:
Having passed midcentury a few years ago, I believe my tastes may not reflect the average reader&;s. I find WWE diva Ashley Massaro&;s lip rings extremely unappealing. She looks like a vampire.

Good thing Playboy&;s editorial policies don&;t apply to the frolics of its founder.
