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.

    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.

          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.
