There are enough old pedos in Thailand so I doubt the police will let him in. Chemical castration is one alternative.

I'd quite like to have Another Rock and Roll Christmas.

Then listen to Last Xmas by George Michael, Stairway to Heaven by Rolf Harris while watching American Beauty starring Kevin Spacey.

You shouldn't rope George Michael in with these guys.

 

Also, George Michael did a tremendous amount of work for many charities and gave an incredible amount of money away quietly helping people......and he was no paedophile!

I am nearly sure I read somewhere that he has no chance of obtaining a passport again to leave the UK.

I liked his music, the double drums was ground breaking.

I preferred Ginger on the drums.

Glitter, Saville, Bolan real 'choice' crew huh?!!! ????

If you are not a fan of Bolan, and his career as a solo artist, with John's Children, Tyrannosaurus Rex, TRex up to his death in 77, then fair enough but no need to link him with the other 2.

Maybe more often than not, but he also did doubles. I was referring more to his pedal work though that put him ahead of the pack. Videos on YT.

 

They were all brilliant. Perfect band in my eyes and ears - they were also art performance.

 

Saw them once, 78ish, glad I managed, he was dead 2 years later. Sadly missed the London revival concert a few years ago.

In the UK is quite normal for people to be released on license after only serving half of their sentence is the have behaved well?

Scruffy git. Don't they get haircuts in jail?

Manual castration with a blunt, broken and rusty hacksaw blade is a much better alternative.

I'd never heard of this dude before this forum, but thought he'd been banged up in Vietnam.

 

Now I read he was actually jailed in the UK.

 

Now I don't know but I strongly suspect a UK jail is not some SE Asian Hellhole or a US Supermax so he hasn't had it so rough.

 

Pity really, these scum should have as miserable a time as possible during incarceration.

Unlikely cure.

 

There have been reports published that show pedophilia is a mental issue.

 

Even after castration, the desire and urge is there.

That is very true.  A lot of people seem to think that potential victims are safe if the person is castrated.  They aren't.  The castration will blunt sexual desire, but most pedophiles still want the company of children.  If castration is used, it has to be understood that they still present a risk.

I was always far too far into progressive rock from Zep to Purple, King Crimson etc to be anything except revolted by glam rock ????

A quick segue, I am  a huge fan of Slade, they sort of defined Glam, they transitioned into it (defined it ?) and then away.  Te likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Suzzie Quttro, Noel Gallager etc saying Noddy had the best voice in Rock 'n Roll, impacted the likes of Kiss and a bunch of others.

He was jailed in Vietnam and the UK.

Well that was quite the Wiki link.

 

What I couldn't get over was how lightly he'd been punished.

 

Admitting sex with girls 10-14, along with everything else!

 

In the US that would have given him a life sentence.
