Gary Glitter Released
after serving 8 of his 16 year sentence - do you think he could resurrect his music career? I still enjoy his records and would probably go to a gig if he did one locally. Or do you think he should be permanently outcast?

Zacs - Liking music does not 'support' any artist in any meaningful way.
If it did, the next no-hoper on The X Factor who turned up with everyone in their street shouting how wonderful they are, would be fast-tracked to the final!
I think, in your desire to fall out with me, you are reaching beyond reason.
Time to leave that thought process, it's nonsense.

What it does mean, is that because he has been found out to be an odious reptile of a human being does not, to me, diminish the enjoyment I find in listening to his records.

Well it should.
If I walked in to a mates house and he was playing Glitter's music I would have to ask the question
''What The Funicular is wrong with you?''

Roy - Once again I am perfectly happy to disagree with you on thus point - we simply view the enjoyment of music differently.
I absolutely understand why you and the majority of posters feel as they do, I simply see it differently.
I appreciate you not turning purple and inventing any manner of distressing scenarios to try and guilt-trip me over my viewpoint - I simply separate a piece of art from the person who created it.

douglas - // Might make an interesting topic for a cruise talk. //
I doubt it.
The cruise lines I work for will not have any mention of Gary Glitter - I was advised of this when we discussed the topic of Glam Rock as part of a Talk about the 1970's.
// Or have you more sense than to air your thoughts to folk who are real and who pay? //
As far as I am concerned, everyone on here is 'real' as you put it.
I don't get into controversial conversation topics with guests, partly because the cruise lines advise very specifically to their entertainers that potentially difficult subjects like religion and politics are to be avoided at the table.
But mainly because I don't need to be told that, it's simple good manners, and I have those already.
And my manners are in place anywhere and everywhere, it has nothing to do with mixing with people who are paying for their holiday.

douglas - // We should be grateful that you don't feel the need to suppress your thoughts but share freely and often on here then.
Or should we? //
There is no 'we' involved - you speak for yourself and yourself only.
As to whether you are 'grateful' or not about what I post, I honestly couldn't care less.

Just now we are not separating Gary Glitter from his musical career. What he did was abhorrent and disgusting. However in years to come there will be people playing his records and not giving a seconds thought as to what he did. Just like now when you visit an art gallery ,read a book , watch a film etc...I don't think that many people wonder what kind of a person the artists ,authors ,actors were? There were probably hundreds of unsavoury characters amongst them .
