And made excuses along the lines of it's what we did, it was of its time

What he actually said was: "It was an era of real indiscretion and mistakes by categorically male performers."

Which is an explanation, not an excuse. Its also a fact.

He continued: "I was one of them. I got nailed. I was wrong. I'm sorry for it."

He has also said:

"“I fully support the current movements demanding equal rights for all and refusing to allow continued abuse and injury — most particularly of a sexual nature, of which I am, with great sorrow, guilty,” he said. “I do not seek to minimize or excuse what I have done and I cannot adequately express my apologies and sorrow for the pain and injury I have caused in this regard.

However, beyond any of my words and feelings expressed, I will walk the walk, do all I can to make amends, and dedicate myself to helping bring more justice and peace to the world.”

Yup, there's a real dangerous desperado for sure.
