Is Ian Anderson Aqualung? Did he invent Cross-eyed Mary? Was Maurice Chevalier a paedo? You can't judge a person by their song lyrics any more than you can judge a fiction writer or poet by their observations or inventions. One has to wonder, if these allegations have any truth in them at all, why the victim(s) have waited this long to make them. Jumping on the bandwagon? Seeking financial compensation in an out-of-court settlement? Is anyone in the public eye safe? I bet there are a rake of ex-pop group members hoping that their under-age groupies don't come creeping out of the woodwork. Operation Yewtree and its spawnings reminds me of McCarthyism. Innocent until proven guilty. Agreed absolutely. Tone
