ADEA protects people who have turned 40. Does that 1967 statute make any sense in this world?
The point occurs to me on the weekend to follow Friday, March 13. Check out the trailer for Peacock's Friday the 13th prequel, Crystal Lake.
Linda Cardellini is playing a decades-younger version of Betsy Palmer's Pamela Voorhees. They're within three years of each other, in terms of how old they were/are at the time of filming. Wow, the world sure has changed.
I'm reminded of Dee Wallace's Mary Lewis in the movie 10, who drank herself numb because life had passed her by. Here's a quote: "What's fair about a man getting older and looking more distinguished and worldly and a woman getting older and looking old?" She was in her early 30s when she said that!!!
50 is the new 20? 70 is the new 30? 80 is the new 45? With all due respect to ADEA, just where does 40 fit in? I'm not complaining. Watch the Stones prance around. Rock 'n' Roll! . . .
