I`m glad to see that everyone here has the good judgement to disagree with Johnny Ramone.
If you consider it seriously, his remark is pretty offensive. If it`s quoted today, it`s probably because, outside the enlightened community of MB, prejudice based on ageism is still acceptable, where prejudice based on racism or sexism is, thankfully, condemned.
