EDIT: Why was this post removed? 🤔
Unwittingly had ‘sex’ with a child, realised it was a child, had ‘sex’ a second time.
And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.
How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.
If they went after every musician who banged an underage girl on a tour bus, you could put a pro rock band together in every penitentiary.
Then you could have a battle of the bands between rival prisons, which exposes a gambling ring among the guards and wardens, who are trying to rig the results, and in the distraction there’s a prison break, and they escape to freedom over snow covered mountains, led by a friendly singing nun with a guitar…
But I digress. I meant to say, everyone was doing it back then.
It’s only good PR keeping most of these people out of the news for banging kids in the 70s and 80s.
But it’s only really been heavily frowned upon in the last 25 years or so. I never even heard the word paedophile until about 2000 or so, when Sarah Payne got raped and murdered. And I wasn’t the only one. The word was so new to people in the UK, that a paediatrician got attacked by mistake.
I would settle for maybe getting every tenth musician and creating some kind of stigma against statutory rape.
But even that seems too much, in a country that wants to spend a trillion dollars bombing Venezuelan fishing boats and lynching legal migrants in concentration camp black sites.
They still are. If anything, I’d put money down that its even more common and more industrialized today than it was 30 years ago.
Yes because I’m sure they’re totally not doing it now.,
Musicians are old news. It’s YouTubers now. They start their channel as kids, and ten years later they aren’t kids but their whole audience is. I think kid-fucking is coming back in a big way, sadly.
You’re hilarious if you think kid fucking is ever gone away.
Yeah man, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me. lol sorry.
Way to excuse pedophilia, and when you say back then, it’s not the fucking middle ages where no laws existed against it.
No the dude is attracted to underage girls, she was 14, that is a kid. He fucked a kid and decided to do that again. And bare in mind “back then”, where make up was not promoted to kids, so they actually look like kids. Eat shit bro
WTF, are you from the middle ages? Or, like, live under a rock? “Back then” was the late 80s or early 90s - a fourteen year old that ran away from home to bang a rock star was absolutely wearing make-up.
Yeah, right, I’m defendimg pedophilia? I’m not MAGA.
The make-up thing is weird. Brooke Shields was VERY controversial in the late 70s for appearing sexualized TV commercials, wearing make-up, and tight clothes that were highlighted by camera work that luxuriated over her body, and even appearing naked on camera, when she was only about 12 or 13. It was a big subject of discussion.
I’m not the one who was sexualizing teens back in the 70s and 80s, I was just pointing out that at the time, EVERYBODY knew it was going on, including the cops in every city that every band ever stopped on tour, and NOBODY did anything about it, ever. They still don’t. You don’t think there are still young groupies sneaking backstage today?
Half of anime sexualizes underage girls. Half of advertising too. Lots of cognitive dissonance in our culture. But nobody ever accused the angry masses of being logically consistent.
Dude you are still doing it, he raped a girl, a 14 year is not old enough to consent, its rape.
Of course he did. I’m not disputing that, I’m just saying that it was so prevalent that literally EVERYBODY knew about that entire issue at the time, and generally chose to do next to nothing about it. Just objectively stating a fact, not endorsing the rock star lifestyle.
What? Children have been wearing makeup since the seventies, at least.
