IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER! (Repeat)

I am not convinced that it was abuse. We are all individuals, and mature differently. I think laws that prevent this sort of thing are good and necessary, but I am not prepared to think that they can ever be perfect enough to encompass every possible scenario. I am very sorry if you have been hurt in a way that evokes

Laws are black and white because they have to be. Unless you are Lorrie Maddox, I have a hard time understanding why you choose Page to singe out from an era that was rife with this sort of thing. I'm not aware of any child molesters that 'get away' with it for the reasons you cite. We live in a civil society based on

No one is condoning it. I certainly am not. It seems to me that it might make more sense to focus on a system that validates child rape through, of all things, marriage, than to engage in character assassination of a guy who crossed a line in his early 20's, that he almost assuredly wouldn't cross now. People grow.

I knew you would do that. The law is black and white. Life is not.
EDIT: In Florida there is no minimum age for marriage in cases of pregnancy. Naturally, this law results in some odious outcomes. In my opinion, that law should be changed. Lorrie Maddox never complained. Is this something one should try to replicate? I

I'm sorry sir, I think you're looking for Reddit.*glares angrily at screen* OK, I'll bite! First of all, Bowie hit that first, but for some reason that isn't talked about. (A theory: Zep were never popular with the music press, or with people like you.) Second, this is a music thread. You should find a fucking thread

And while I'm at it. These fucking people who say Elvis was a thief, he was just ripping off Little Richard. Have these people ever heard Little Richard? What in fuck's name does Elvis owe to Little Richard, or Chuck Barry, Bessie Smith, or Blind Melon Chitlin', etc… Sure all that stuff had to happen first, but Elvis

Was scanning for this comment before making it myself! Here's my version (ahem), ELVIS FUCKING PRESLEY!!!

There are some extended stretches of glory on Knebworth '79. I read an article by a guy who heard them in '70 talking about how crisp the guitar sounded. This is such a challenge for live rock bands, and Page is one of only guys to ever really solve the riddle. The 'refrigerator rack' jerks are shark jumpers of the

That must make Handmaid's Tale look like breezy fun.

Yes, and John Kerry did alright with that Harrison Ford shit.

? Wow. Imma let you talk, talking cigarette, but will have to side with Kanye on this one.

Have we not yet tired of politicians texting their members?

I would've guessed from the picture that he just joined Cheap Trick.

What did 'the show' do? The entire crew was tacit as the principal idiots engaged in a thoroughly uncompelled brodown. From what I could see 'the show' acquitted itself well under the circumstances.

Word, B!

♫ We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again! ♫

Correct. All of those things interfere with baby/sandwich production.

He likes babies and sandwiches! Both come from women, no?

He couldn't have known they would be flatliners.
