does the sleaziness of certain rockstars bother you?
i want my rockstars to get laid and do drugs but not underage girls. don henley got busted in 1980 for having a naked 13 year old girl overdose in his house. how he beat jail i'll never know. jimmy page was notorious for sleeping with underage girls. and pete townshend, one of my heroes, recently got busted for kiddie porn. does this stuff bother anybody else? none of these guys did a day in jail. am i being too prudish? **** bothers me

Yes, that stuff bothers me, but I generally try to separate the art from the artist in my mind.

To answer your question, yes it's quite disturbing and it bothers me to. It's really hard to separate artist from personal life when they do things that extreme |

Not everyone escapes jail, though. Gary Glitter and Jonathan King both spent time behind bars, as did Mexico`s own Gloria Trevi, whose surreal story can be read about, at length, here:- Slick Transit Gloria - New York Times |
it could be worse
at least they're not killing or raping babies |
That`s true ! Plenty worse outrages taking place in the world. For crimes against children, some of the saddest take place in Africa:-
murder,amputation,rape, and the kidnapping of children to train as soldiers/guerrillas. Back on the topic of celebrity sleaze, these are pretty high on my list too:- - commiting suicide when you have young children. - death by overdose, which, unless it`s completely accidental, rather speaks of uncontrolled greed. And let`s not forget Ken Dodd, who cheated on his tax returns ! |
i was going to say Africa but was afraid it might be taken as a racist comment

As for Page... I've never really liked him all that much anyways (Led Zeppelin is good, though). |

I don`t think anyone would think that, Il Duce. No-one can deny that it`s a continent with an uncountable number of tragedies, but no-one is trying to make a racist point here, are they ?
I don`t know how true this is,Jack Pat ,but I read it in the UK magazine Private Eye: Apparently Towesend`s solo career was flagging so much that he thought he would dabble in pornography to generate a scandal that would put his name back in the headlines. There`s supposed to be a song on Quadrophenia that outlines the whole idea. |
