that was his only hit

reply

True, but it was played millions of times in stadiums around the world.

not anymore

He had other hits like 'Leader of the Gang' and 'Do You Want to Touch Me,' that Joan Jett later had a hit with, but they were mostly hits in England I think.

This horrible nonce was huge in the 70's UK, his first 9 hits all charted at no.4 or higher, mostly number ones or two's, he was big all over Europe and Australia too.

His music isn't played on the TV or Radio anymore due to his sex attacks on children, he's hated here now and has been for decades, when his music was used in Joker it made front page news.

Lets burn 30% of the paintings in the Louvre! I'll bet at least 30% of those artists were guilty of atrocities.

reply

The many people this pedo attacked and assaulted are still alive unlike the French victims of artists who died hundreds of years ago. The UK doesn’t play pop music by convicted pedos.

reply

Yeah I get it. Probably a good policy. But jeez, the song has a life of its own. Millions know that song. Much fewer know him. But you're right. Any business that played his music now would suffer by proxy.

Maybe 50 years after he is dead, some zero-gravity sport will revive the forgotten song.

reply

It’s a good song but performed by a nonce. It's a diff experience for Americans who only know that one song, mostly for stadiums and Joker.

reply

Truth. Always thought he was a one hit wonder.
