Not making excuses, I'm just refusing to play along with the, "Oh my, this thing that we all knew was happening 40 years ago is shocking in light of our current sensibilities," game. Rock stars with underage groupies, directors and the casting couch... these things became cliche for a reason. I'm not saying it is acceptable or that it ever was. I'm saying that the time to act shocked was when it was happening. Retroactive disapproval is just hypocritical as hell. Also, Page is hardly the first, the last, or the worst!
Steve Haynie Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Gary Glitter went just a year or two younger and landed in jail.

I wasn't there when it happened. I was 4. If I had been, I would have been shocked in real time. This isn't some twenty-something snowflake watching All In The Family and exercising his false outrage.

This isn't some twenty-something snowflake watching All In The Family and exercising his false outrage. Fair enough... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that. Still, for every person who has a well considered moral code, there are about 10 who simply reflect the standards of those around them. If moral outrage keeps naive little girls from getting pulled into Limos then, great... but I can think of plenty of examples in history where unchecked moral outrage has led to some pretty ugly scenes. Examining one's motivations is always worthwhile.

Well, in the interest of saving you from future surprises... If they were a famous rock star from the 70s... you can assume they probably had sex with underage groupies. Hell, the girl in question was with Bowie BEFORE she was with Page.

There's another guy I'm sick of hearing about, and the deification of that twat is way out of line and ill-deserved.
Pieman Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I thought it was Plant that chased adolescents..Something' about locking one in a room while he was on stage?
kizanski Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Just now, hamerhead said: But how do you really feel, Mike? Bowie was a prolific artist with many hits and some very good music. On the other side of that coin, unfortunately, is an inordinate about of complete shit in his catalog, most of which no one even heard of. And then there's that "Dancin' In The Streets music video with Jagger...

Hey what do you expect? It was Louisiana. It's a wonder he waited that long. As a true gentlemen, he waited until she menstruated.
