RIP Bob, I don't believe he experienced very much peace while alive. A great player and I want to remember that part, although I've known about the other stuff for some time. My sympathies to those who experienced the bad stuff, it is terrible, but I'm glad that the good stuff (i.e. the music) will live on."


If that is so, then the obscenity here isn't that Brozman MAY have been a pedophile, it is that individuals like your cited friend knew and did nothing. It's one thing to stay silent if your friend is cheating on his wife with another adult or has a drug habit, it's another thing to suggest that you know beyond a doubt that children are being assaulted AND SAY NOTHING.

What is it about maintaining a connection with this man would let anyone else shrug off such toxic behavior? Did knowing him give all of these people higher stature?

The problem all of those "in the know" present here is not only 1.) the object of the discussion - alleged criminality by Brozman, but 2.) the absolute moral bankruptcy of each of you who suggest that you knew and yet you said nothing. I'm glad to not be in that hot seat, folks. You want to show some kind of special access to this famous/infamous individual by suggesting you were insiders, that you knew of this? If attorneys for the alleged victims read this, does any of you want to get up in court and swear that you knew this and said nothing? You need to examine your motives for making these claims, and be prepared to answer for them or recant them.

And if you don't know any truth of Mr. Brozman's behavior, if you're just beating your chests to join in at lynching a corpse, you're letting mob mentality carry you forward.
