However, some songs were more consistent with the way our
culture views aging women (i.e., rough skinned, gray haired, or not so
slender. An illustrative negative impression of the aging woman is
found in the lyrics of "Yard Full of Rusty Cars" (1972) : "Lord, says
the man with the yard full of rusty cars, that woman's gettin' wide/So
much for beauty, son, hand me that TV Guide." The song "Slow-
Movin' Outlaw" (1968) also describes the aging woman negatively.
"The women that warmed you, you once thought so pretty/Now look
haggard and old." This supports the frequent societal view that
women in particular have been taught what constitutes beauty, and
as they grow older, are beset by aging processes that often result in
criticism.
