Whoops! What happened there?

Anyway, what I find grimly fascinating about JS is that he knew exactly how to exploit 'human nature' for his own purposes. He seems to have latched on, very early, to the power of pop music and the hold that it has on audiences. He cultivated an eccentric persona which allowed him, through his DJing, to cash in on that power whilst having no musical talent whatsoever. He knew that many people are inordinately impressed by charity work and thereby was able to both turn himself into a secular saint and to gain honours (including a knighthood - for God's sake!!). Most sinister of all he understood how impressionable and vulnerable some young girls can be and used this knowledge to exploit them sexually. He also knew that many people will readily blame victims of crimes rather than the perpetrators of the crimes (look how many contributors to this thread have attempted to defend him).

Beware psycopaths - they've got your number!
