Though @rkylesmith missed an even more dubious lyric in Donovan's 'Mellow Yellow': 'I'm just mad about 14, 14's mad about me' (not forgetting the Stones 'Stray Cat Blues'). I love Donovan and the Stones but it's amazing what was (artistically) acceptable in the past.
And Gary Puckett and the Union Gap's "Young Girl": "Beneath your perfume and your make-up You're just a baby in disguise And though you know that it's wrong to be Alone with me That come on look is in your eyes"
Sadly, I believe that the outrage will be historically temporary. Money & sex are just too powerful.
Disney should weigh in.
It’s both shocking and expected that conservatives are taking credit for believing and protecting women and girls. Stop justifying and defending the behaviors of wealthy and powerful men like Trump and Kavanaugh. #believeher
So sorry. Yes this song and others of the time glorified predatory behavior.
Instead of writing about the age-old practice of men raping underage girls and boys and how we need to forcefully condemn the practice, he decides to pin this solely on “liberals” and Hollywood. His dishonesty is telling, for if only liberals do it, then Trump is in the clear.
