Seems everyone from the 70s is getting a prod.
Better if they went after Toothy Blackburn and Master Simon Bates.

Not because of their sexual predilections, you understand... they were just st on the wireless.

But there again, who knows? hehe
There alive, makes things a bit more tricky.

Just watched JSP on QT.
Spoke quite sensibly, described a very sad scene.

Different context, judging by the article.

Peel, awarded the OBE in 1998, is perhaps best remembered for his Saturday morning programme Home Truths on Radio 4 in which he talked about family life to Middle England.

What utter bolleaux.

Have you seen TB recently?
I saw him last year in Spain, known affectionately to those working with him as 'The Screaming Skull'

I'm not going to swear to it, and it could just be drug-addled fevered imaginary memory , but I'm pretty certain that when The Stones played this song live the Stray Cat was 13 rather than 15......maybe we should ask Sir Mick to comment....evil

YES
The lyric changes to "I can see that you're thirteen years old" on the live version on the album "Get yer ya ya'a out"

The unsaid underlying excuse seems to be something like, 'It was the 70s'...

Re: Peel.

The silly diary ramblings of a hormone-filled emotionally unstable wannabe teenage girl.

The parents shouldn't have let her get into that scene.

The parents should have gone after the alleged rapists when they were alive.

These days it is always some other bugger's fault and there is always a bandwagon passing through town.

So she hung round studios giving it up to DJs. They all used her. Surely if you are attacked once, you don't go back for more.

I hate this PC every victim has to be belived bks. Times were different. Some people were bad, others not. Judge people from the past by the prevailing standards at the time, not now.

If you go back far enough, that bloke Joseph. Oldish bloke, some young dolly bird Mary got up the duff, they make up some ste about how it wasn't him but God who did it.

I think Saville may have been a bad man. King, Gadd others too were bad, horrible men. But every 1970s DJ who had a pissed fumble or fk with a star struck 15 year old who said she was 18 isn't Peter Sutcliffe.

The girl who topped herself 40 years ago. The police investigated it. No case to answer.

It was bloody insane <late 60's into the 70's> Odd thing is with that Booze drug fuelled sexual explosion I and all my mates managed to avoid knobbing underage girls. There is no excuse!
I was trying desperately to knob underage girls. It consumed my very soul, and I'd try absolutely anything to get into their knickers. I was, however, only 14 years old at the time.

I am sure circumstances varied depending on who the individuals were.

Obviously, in the 60s and 70s, there were lots of young girls who wanted to hang around the pop scene and make themselves known to the various stars of the day. Many of these girls would have been underage - although determining which ones were or weren't would have been almost impossible. Some of the stars and DJs may very well have succumbed to these girls' advances - especially if their judgement was blurred by alcohol and/or drugs.
I am sure that type of behaviour has gone on since the dawn of time. I bet gladiators had to fight off young Roman girls 2,000 years ago.

Savile's behaviour falls into a very different category. He seemed to be a serial offender - who arranged his entire life around the setting up of scenarios that put him in the company of young (and very often underage) girls. I am less concerned about his activities with the Top of the Pops groupies (which was still illegal it seems), but more his use of charity work to get him access to vulnerable children in care homes and schools of various sorts.

Neither funny nor appropriate. I mean a well liked elderly man has died, a man who devoted loads of time to doing charity work he didn't have to do and some of you lots comments are disgusting. Grow up, RIP Sir Jimmy.

Quite, if we are going to go after stars that have been offered and potentially sampled 14/15 yo girls that have thrown themselves at them, then I think you are probably going to have to be bringing half of the pop/rock industry too for questioning. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ozzy Osborne, Tommy Lee, Axl Rose etc etc.

...And yet a school teacher who eloped with a 15 year old pupil (who seemingly went with her own free will) is brought back to the UK in handcuffs and crucified by the media (including the BBC!). But of course, good ol' Jimmy seemed to be excused...(until now.)
