Welcome to the Newbie but I have to say,that term is really not appropriate in any sense.
Older people are to be respected and revered for they've experienced more in this life than those of us that are younger have. They can also offer a greater view on life itself.
While I'm glad you're a fellow Lightfoot fan Mary,in being one,you should show quite a bit more respect for Gordon's friends. They're not just his band after all. These are guys he's spent decades with,sharing the good and the bad.
First time anyone calls me by that term,they will regret it. ( No,no violence.
