Tuesday morning, a huge mega-fest of legendary rockers was officially announced. Naturally, as is always the case, the Internet had some jokes.
“Desert Trip” (a.k.a. “OldChella”) will feature The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and the Who at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio October 7 – 9. It will also, according to the Internet, feature lots of old people, Viagra, and walking sticks:

The official name of Oldchella is actually the Skeletons of Rock.
