Radio absences of Michael Jackson!

I was 10 when Garry Glitter was the playground hero that every boy idolised. He gave me the creeps even back then.

You went to school with him. Were you in his gang?

Not just in the gang, he was the leader, the leader!

What I've noticed (on the BBC) is that when a song that I haven't heard for donkeys years pops up on the radio, I hear it repeated again and again over the next week or so. I assume that the PRS licences come with some sort of BOGOF deal.

IIRC it used to be pay per play but has moved on to licenced periods rather like it did with TV programmes when the channels greatly expanded

That's the one. It's probably not many peoples cup of tea on here but his Colours album was immense

Holy crap, Adam F is Alvin Stardust's kid? I never realised that.

My aunt used to go out with Alvin Stardust before he became known as that.

So he changed his name to avoid your Aunt?

MJ was someone I had a bad feeling about. I liked his music but couldn't listen to it. I think I had a kind of instinct about him that put me off. Glitter was a more obvious creep and whilst I liked Harris' on screen persona I didn't have any suspicions about him. I think he was described by the investigating officer as the worst or most dangerous serial predator he'd ever investigated. I think that says it all about RH. Worse than Saville or Gadd.

shouldn't we be referring to Glitters real name Paul Gadd when talking about such child abusers. Paul Gadd is the sexual predator Glitter the stage name. I only say that so his real name gets stuck with what he is.

An old boy, well in his 80s, I know had been saying all along that Savile was a bad un. When it finally came out he said to me...

"I knew it, I knew it. A pucking fervert (that's actually how he said it.) You mark my words, that Keith Lemon will be next!"

Everyone said it seems but no one managed to do anything it about

Except a few kids who weren't listened to because of his charity activities!

Did he have his teeth in at the time?
