Chuck Berry RIP

[nickyboy]

Probably why behaviour like his and others was left unchecked at that time. Thankfully, others have learnt their lesson.

errr....no

I'm sufficiently grown up to be able to understand that incredibly talented people sometimes do bad things but I can still appreciate what their talent produces. Phil Spector, Roman Polanski, James Brown...there's a long list

My point exactly.

Ha ha.

Get a grip ffs.

Another thread ruined.

My point exactly.

Well no, not really. I think Polanski is a very talented film maker who should go to prison for rape. Now, can we please move on.

So because one other got away with something, we should turn a blind eye to all?

He did time. " Berry".now that means he was published and saw the error of his ways..
You do what you like but I would think you need to hold fire with that stone..

That, as so much that goes on is out of context. My reply, you was in response to someone suggesting his crimes would not preclude him from running for presidency. Your right about one thing though, I will do what I like and I choose to see the full picture.

Start your own thread then and talk about it all you like. Everyone knows the full picture thank you, you're not news.

I've said all I wanted to say in my first post, but when others quote me, I am going to give them a reply. Why would I need to start a thread about that?

If every rock star/actor/sportsman/artist etc who had sex with an underage girl was airbrushed out of history we wouldn't have much left in the way of entertainment. Elvis was courting his wife when she was fourteen, Robert Plant had a fourteen year old girlfriend, John peel got a 15 yo pregnant, etc, etc.

You just couldn't make this up. Apologies if I have upset some, I won't post anymore on this thread as it's all pretty much been said.

 

[Tin Pot]

The article suggested it was ready to go and will still be released

Music industry capitalises on death of star shocker.

Rock star turns out to not be a saint shocker.

This I don't mind.... it is his work and completed by him


What I dislike is when they market all the "out takes" and "previously unheard" recordings

This is usually because the artist did not like them and they were not up to their standards

It just seems wrong to commemorate someone by releasing stuff they did not actually want to be released

You don't have to buy them.

They're still releasing Randy California recordings and he's been dead over 20yrs.
