He might re-start his music career. Would you buy his music?

    Never heard of him, what was he arrested for? Or I guess I have to go read the link, lol.

    Edit: Just read the article. He sounds like a loser. Well, a pedophile and a loser.

      Yep - the link explains - rather unsavoury I think! You don't wanna be in his gang (UK centric satirical comment)

      Not a suprise...C'mon C'mon!!

      I think only folks from the UK like myself will really know who he is. What other answer would you expect?

      I am another one that says a BIG NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
  2. reasonablerobinson
    Absolutely...you're quite right about folks in the UK, but if he tries to start a career in Asia then perhaps the more non-UK people that know about why he was locked up the less records he'll sell.

    I wouldn't have bought it the first time round!

    Well, it's not like if someone with good music turned out to be a pedophile. The guy's not like Michael Jackson, for crying-oh, wait. Damn. Okay, the point is, that's a double bad right there. The pedophile thing coupled with the crappy music. There's no reason to indulge him. I knew who he was and I'm American. We get his stupid theme song piped into ball games here.

    No! His music isn't wonderful, and as a person he disgusts me.
    1. reasonablerobinson
      Pretty unequivocal
    2. carlgalloway
      Yeah, I'm usually a very nuanced grey scale type of person, but in this instance it's black and white, or right vs wrong, and his lifestyle choices are very very wrong.
    3. reasonablerobinson
      I'm with you all the way - none of this post modern relativist crap. There are standards and he is well below them!!

    That sick scumbag better have 24 hour protection if he's walking the street over here. I for one would quite hapilly take a swing at him and risk the jail time...can't stand kiddie fiddlers. He's a dead man walking already.
    1. reasonablerobinson
      Makes you wonder why he would dare to come back to UK doesn't it!

    Gary glitter eh - who really wants to 'be in his gang' eh RR.


    We'll pass - keep him in the nick we say!
    1. reasonablerobinson
      I agree but next week he'll be singing 'Hello Hello I'm Back Again' sadly

    If I were him, I'd start my own children's show.
    1. reasonablerobinson
      Now that would be close to the wind I think!

    I wasn't that into his music.

    How do you know what everyone else in the music industry has done but just never got caught for it? They are not going to tell you unless they get in trouble and people find out. The music industry is probably the least innocent profession of all. You would have to stop buying almost all records.
    1. reasonablerobinson
      This could get libelous - I'm not sure that singling out a profession necessarily stacks up.:)

    I wouldn't buy his music anyway.
    1. reasonablerobinson
      Glittering attitude I think
