Why are we writing and reading positively-tilted stories about child rapists like Iggy Pop? Why are these white 70s musicians getting a free pass on sex crimes? Especially the only one with the shamelessness to record a song about raping a child? https://genius.com/Iggy-pop-look-away-lyrics https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8i2NetVBzIc

Do you have more details than an unverified Genius annotation?

Are you dense? These are actual David Bowie lyrics. Do you need to hear him say them? He was not the only rock musician to rape Sable Starr before she was 14 but he was the only one to brag about it on record.

Well, I have my answer. A lot of child rape apologists here. Go party with Jeffrey Epstein.

That picture of him in between Bowie and Reed. Last man standing.....

Pop must be minute, Bowie was only around 5'5"

He' 5'7" according to Google. Posture tends to suffer with the amount of drugs they must have been taking, so who knows?

Is there a way to read this article without the popups and other dark patterns that make it impossible to finish reading?

Firefox reader mode. It makes the web readable again by stripping everything except the main content out and removes js. And has dark mode :)

"You pursue something with passion and dedication and they call you a punk".

I remember seeing a video clip with Iggy saying something to this effect, probably on MTV, but have been able to find it online. If anyone can verify this quote by Iggy, please reply.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I attended his concerts twice, both times he was well past fifty and his posture was probably better than most of the audience (as was his fitness).

And it's really strange to see a thread discussing someone's height on this forum.
