tis your opinion and to a certain extent I would agree with the fact that Mr Rundgren and Mr Steinman helped to thrust Meat into the spotlight but in fairness he's worked long and hard to show that he can perform good songs without them.
Also, i don't really see what the issue is as the age of a person when they 'make it', it's all about what you do with the time you're in the spotlight rather than the age you are.
As Mouse says, I'd rather know the context that it was taken in as it could easily be tongue in cheek rather than insulting. I seem to remember a genuine quote from Mr Rundgren about recording Renegade Angel/Dead Ringer and that Meat's voice was basically gone.
