Sometime around the '60s, LOTS of songs came out about dating really young women. For example, "Young Girl", "Come Back When you Grow Up, Girl", and "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon". Can you guys think of any others?
"Come with me little girl, on a magic carpet ride" Hehe, but seriously, get your mind out the gutter, pervert.
Well, there's the Who song, "Fiddle About," but that's not about dating a really young woman; it's actually about pedophilia. It's about an uncle molesting his nephew.
Really? I've never thought of the song in that way. I mean, obviously the engine driver seduces the girl, but I never thought of her as being a child. I've always thought of her as being in her 20's or something. Then again, the girl is referred to more than once as a "little girl." Hmm... interesting. She does have "a man," though, and I don't typically think of little girls as having "a man."
"As Tears Go By" The Stones Oh yeah, almost forgot, "Stray Cat Blues" by the Stones as well. "I can see that your just 13 years old, but I don't want your id."
He was (or so he says) molested when he was a child. That is (according to him) why he wrote songs about molestation. I think that was his defense with the child pornography thing, too; he said he was doing research for a book or something.
They don't necessarily have to be about a pedophile: just interpretable as being about pedophiles. I'm sorry; I should have clarified.
Really? I never knew that... Still, "Fiddle About" was written by John Entwistle, who always had a morbid sense of humor.

If you believe that one, I've some prime ocean front property in Arizona to sell ya.
Aqualung by Jethro Tull. "Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent". Says it all really.
Deathspell Omega's anthemic hit single 'Raping baby Jesus'. My Dying Bride's 'The dreadful hours' is about child abuse (or at least mistreatment) as well. Mother will you take me down? I have become so afraid Mother please, please take me down I'm sorry, your boy is not brave Child, just hold on. Night will soon be gone Sleep if you can. But watch your father's hand We do not want you. Nobody loves you Father of the dark. Tonight will greet you God in heaven, can you hear me Help me Oh Lord. They're coming for me Mother warned me. Father scorned me Oh my God No. Now I hear him I claim your life on this night within sight of your own God The silence, the waiting then the pain Oh child, sleep will be here soon Your life has only ever been shame And so young boy, my hand brings doom Child, won't you awake. Father has gone Child, please come awake. Please my tiny son
Yeah, it was written by John, but at Pete's request. The molestation idea was Pete's. I didn't say I believed it; I just said that I thought that was his defense with the child molestation thing. However, he was found innocent (right?), so you can't automatically assume he really is a pedophile. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. I don't know, and neither do you.
RE: However, he was found innocent (right?), so you can't automatically assume he really is a pedophile. Sure I can. The charge is not guilty, certainly not innocent, and it's a known fact the dude had diddler material on his hard drive.
