What exactly did Mick too?Quote

I wonder why Bill gets the rap and not Mick and Ronnie, it's like Bill is out on his own now, he doesn't get that comfort bubble of the Stones organisation.

We're not talking about hazy rumors of under-aged groupies in the '60s and '70s. We're talking about a documented case of a 47 year old man ill-advisedly dating a 13 year old girl.

13 ?? she wasn't 13 was she.

Mandy Smith admits they had a physical relationship when she was 14. You can try putting a positive spin on it - she threw herself at him - he was kind to her - he looked after her etc etc. But the bottom line is under UK law he could have served a jail sentence. So us Stones fans try and turn blind eye. He was/is a great bass player and how would we react if young and not-so-young women were lining themselves up at our door.

In time I am sure this will get round to The Rolling Stones and other 60's and 70's bands in a more legacy damaging way.
There's plenty to crucify them about and much of it is not exactly hidden.
Regardless...
I love The Rolling Stones.

That's my worry, we are getting to a time where anything deemed incorrect will be censored, i can see a day in the not too distant future where it will be wrong for anyone to play this music based on the morel high ground of the likes of twitter facebook and Instagram.
We already have Mick changing the lyrics on certain songs, i wonder where it all ends up, the Stones are sexist sort of thing so must be censored etc etc.

People need to step up. Once again a small minority of loud lefties run things and decide what others can watch. The right wing needs a spokesman that we all stand behind. Boycott anyone that caters to the left wing mob. That will end this crap.

Left wing mob? The Meetoo movement is a liberal feminist movement. Nothing else.

Bill Wyman may have made a mistake decades ago. "Me too" is a hysterical movement. There is no point in trying to find out what happened inside other people's pants in the past.

It is a leftist movement and leftists are pulling this crap on all kinds of people for all different reasons. I believe that deep down you actually know that. I don't look at this as much different as left wing mobs tearing down old statues and so on and so on. They the minority think they should decide for everyone.
Ah yes, the "powerless" right wing. Such poor, put-upon, downtrodden sods.Quote

It is not hysterical to put an end to active predatory child abusers, or sexual abusers in the work force,
out of business and out of action.
That is not left, right, male or female,
it is the law.

If you find out that Wyman is an ACTIVE in any of this I would agree. That is not what is happening here and you know it. I don't even know why you posted that to be honest.
Wyman did it during a different period when things were different. Yes it is the left who is trying to destroy anyone who ever did something they don't approve of and I believe you now that also.
If someone wanted to skip Wyman's film because of it I would understand but like usualy that is not what is going on here., They ( the mob ) has once again decided what others should watch.

Soon BV will be here with the scythe. This one turned political too. Hard to avoid, everything is political these days. I don't mind it. I find it interesting. But BV don't...

I recently re-read "Stone Alone" and Bill's ongoing boasting about his (and Brian's) sexual exploits actually made me a bit queasy. We get it, Bill, you guys had a lot of sex. "I don't want your ID" indeed.

* I find you inflammatory, and earlier troll statements ‘hysterical metoo’ or
‘it’s a left political’ no it’s a ‘right political’
I have stated here, and elsewhere Bill Wyman topics get deterred, which is sadly too often on a Rolling Stones fan board,
that I look at case by case before I offer my opinion
and repeated
‘I stand up for Bill Wyman’
and my thoughts behind why,
although I loathe this topic,
and the paid or non paid shrilly posters that come with it.
I am a law abiding citizen who pays taxes to live in a law abiding place best we can.
