(I offer this little ditty, in honor of Paul McCartney's 68th birthday on June 18 ... sung to the tune of the Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four")

When I get older, losing my hair,
A few days from now,
Will elder care still be so clandestine,
My brain feeling like it's pickled in brine?

If I'm outside till quarter to 3,
MPTF security locks the door!
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm ninety-four?

Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo
You'll be older too (ah ah ah ah ah)
Oh, Katzenberg, if I can be heard,
I would say "f--- you."

Seems that I bought right into your ruse.
Where has the LTC gone?
We would congregate in the pavilion with pride.
Now the MPTF has taken us for a ride.

In a few days we'll be pushing up weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm ninety-four?

Every year I donated to get a cottage
On Spielberg Drive -- now I live in fear.
We had to scrimp and save,
Now they are trying to evict me -
Jeffrey, Steve, and Dave.

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view.
Indicate precisely when I'm s'posed to leave,
Yours sincerely, "Recently Bereaved."

Give me your answer, fill in a form,
"You're out for evermore!"
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm ninety-four?

Whoo!

Description

 

Winner of the Los Angeles Press Club's Best Blog Award and a Southern California Journalism Award for his Hollyblogs, as well as an award for the Facebook group that helped to muscle the salvation of long-term care for the motion picture and television industry, Stellar's "vituperative blog on TheWrap'" (Vanity Fair) has caused great discomfort to those culpable in the aborted mission to deny long term and acute care to motion picture industry elderly.

Shifting the focus to psychoactive doping abuse in the elderly, Stellar continues to fight for the rights of the elderly while maintaining a strong and award-winning social networking presence.  Stellar lives in Woodland Hills, a stone's throw from the Motion Picture Home with his wife of 27 years, two dogs and a 1965 Epiphone Casino.
