A long time ago

Johnny rode the monorail

Where did he end up?

Notes:

In spite of the Cold War and the fear that we might all be vaporized at any moment to prove whether the USA or the USSR had the bigger nuke, there was a futuristic vision in the 1970s and early 1980s which was very colorful and effervescent. The song Johnny on the Monorail is an example of this fantastical Utopia where everyone is young and happy and life is good.
The flip side of this vision offers Logan's Run, where anything which is not young and effervescent is eradicated.
