Not a direct reply to you, Darren Hungerford, just my opinion:

 

Isn't the same media that damned him now making money off his death? No
more double-standards

than usual there.

 

I think as Glitter has been caught, ahem, red handed, everyone knows
what he is. With Wacko, I don't

know how much is real & how much is circus, regards him being a child
fucker. I mean, I wouldn't put it

past those greedy families to simply capitalise on a situation & make it
seem worse than it is to make

more revenue. How can you say they're greedy fuckers, ade?? How could
you say that??!! Because I

don't remember any of them attacking Wacko, trying to kick his nose off.
I mean, if he fucked YOUR

kids, wouldn't you want to kick his face in until it was nothing more
than mince & tiny bits of plastic?

If you managed to stop yourself from doing that, wouldn't you persue him
relentlessly through the courts?

Or would you just take a pay-off & be the money-grubbing scumbag you
always were?

 

BUT

 

I expect to find out more in the coming weeks & months. Once that
happens, people will either continue

to be full of the love of Micheal Jackson (The New Di), or washing their
mouths out with bleach at the

thought of the nice words they used, which are now overshadowed by
horror.

 

I wonder if Elton will be singing "Candle in My Ring" at the service?

	We are inevitably more forgiving of our heroes. There are still
an awful lot of Who fans around.

	 

	And when I said Paul Raven, I meant ours, not Mr Glitter,
obviously.

	It would be reasonable to argue that MJ was acquitted of the
child molestation charges. It would also be reasonable to mention that
he paid out many millions of dollars to silence potential litigants. The
conclusion is, I think, reasonably straightforward. 

	 

	However, Hitchcock was not a splendid fellow when he sent a very
young Melanie Griffiths a little doll of her mother Tippi Hedren in a
coffin. I still like his films. The issue arises, I think, when
someone's contribution to society is defined by their crimes.

	 

	Personally, MJ's music brought me no pleasure (I still remember
cursing whenever "Rock With Me" invaded my Radio Luxembourg listening),
so am not affected by his death in the same way that I was by, say, Paul
Raven's.

	 

	What really pisses me off is the attitude of the media to this,
predicated on the unshakeable conviction that I am really, really
interested in the paedo. I'm not. Really, I'm not.

	 

	I'm spending the next two weeks in an isolation tank.

Aside from the implication that paedophiles are okay if they've also
written some nice songs, my main grievance about this whole bloody
circus is the media conspiracy to hush-up his charming recreational
activities. I could be wrong, but none of the eulogies, bios and
ass-kissing pieces of tripe that I've read actually mention his court
cases and multi-million dollar out-of-court settlements. The closest any
of them have come was a sheepish remark that "[his] later life was
dogged by legal problems". Since when did being arrested count as a
'legal problem'? That makes it sound like some boundary dispute with a
neigbour, or at worst a little income-tax evasion.

 

It's disgraceful. If Gary Glitter had actually written some half-decent
songs, does that mean he was really a nice guy? When he dies do we all
have to agree not to mention his child molestation in case it offends
someone?

 

Jim.

		 If his fans liked his music, why didnt they have the
c.d's, downloads etc already? Why the sudden rush to purchase and
d/load. Somethings smells and dont just mean his corpse!
