\\\In a controversial interview the 80-year-old claimed that they are being punished because of what they have done in previous lives. \\\
Yes, he has gone too far in my opinion.
\\\\He also seemed to defend famous men who are "trapped" by underage groupies.\\\
For this statement, i have a certain amount of sympathy.........a certain amount.
In the 50's and 60's the famous men were "Show Bizz" personalities and there is little doubt that some women, dressed and presented themselves for the pleasing (sexually) of the famous personalities. e.g women would throw there knickers on the stage for Tom Jones to interpret...........certain women dressed appropriately would present themselves at the stage door for approval or otherwise of enrty into the dressing rooms.
Today, we have footballers who seem to attract this type of women and indeed many Clubs have VIP rooms for the footballers and friends in which "selected" women are invited......and there seems to be no shortage of takers.
So although "our Ken" is likely to be castigated....he may well have a point.

Pretty much agree with sqad
The 'previous life, hoddle type ramblings' are probably the first sign of Senility so perhaps cut him some slack. It's also difficult to know if the reporter twisted the conversation to get a scoop as he does appear to be retracting now.
The groupie thing is a bigger problem. 1) It is well known girls/women went with personalities well knowing what they were letting themselves into. It is also well known such women would never carry identification (probably many would wish to remain anonymous) so even if thought of how could age be verified.
Secondly I have a problem applying today's thoughts and standards retrospectively 30+ years back. Who is to know for instance if any of these groupies held a resentment for being 'used once' that they can now get them back (must be many other reasons too).
I am not condoning the action, just trying to get some perspective on it.

There is a video clip on this Daily Mail report, haven't listened to all of it so I can't if it was taken out of context or not.
