Bowie along with Bob Dylan are two guys who I’m convinced will have their legacy set on fire in my lifetime. Neither of them were secretive about their love for underage girls back in the day, and I don’t doubt there are darker skeletons hidden
oof. yeah, I forgot that about Bowie. I know in his time they did like to pin every conceivable crime on a bi dude but also in his time the age of consent was more of a suggestion and that's a problem .
It was easy to disavow Elvis because I never liked him but I need to be even more critical when it's somebody I look up to
A lot of celebrity men from these days excuse this shit by saying “everyone was doing it in those days, and those girls wanted it” which is worse
indeed it is worse.
