Sir Jimmy Savile and the age of excess

I was just watching a T Rex performance from the Savile show, Top of the Pops , on You Tube.

Comes from the early seventies.

Marc Bolan is singing about a sexual episode in which his partner was "younger than most."

Why does that creep you out today but it never did before?

I remember reading an interview with one of the guys from Kiss, in which he boasted about how many 13 year old girls he was having sex with.

And we all remember why Roman Polanski moved to France.

At the time of the early Led Zeppelin tours the rock media were full of stories about what would today be called the sexual exploitation of women by the famous rockers.

But today Jimmy Page is a dotty philanthropist and Robert Plant is a grandfatherly country singer.

I'm not saying Jimmy Savile shouldn't be exposed.

But let's clean house and expose all those "rock stars" who were doing exactly what Sir Jimmy was doing.
