As music fans, can we talk about the uncomfortable but very real truth that many of the ārock godsā (steven tyler, david bowie, jimmy page, iggy pop, ect) have actively pursued relationships with young girls. That under the guise of free love, exchange of thought, and creativity these powerful men willingly engaged in a culture of drug use, violence against women, and normalizing predatory behavior towards girls. Saying that this was just āgroupie cultureā is an goddamn excuse. Itāll never be healthy for a girl whoās just reached puberty to have her first introduction into sex by powerful adults pumping her with drugs. No matter how mature these girls thought they were or how much they wanted to have sex, they were detail naive and vulnerable. These men preyed on them.
