They couldn't begin to lift his balls and they want to talk shit - if any of them were worth something they would contribute more art to outshine him. We all know that will never happen.
And the culture then was entirely different, and 14-15 year olds were expected to do a lot more adult things and had much different expectations back then. Did she ever disclose her age, was he too messed up on drugs to consent himself (probably)? I'm not saying it's ok, but Lori was a groupie and knew what she was doing, I'm sure she lied about her age. Think of her as a really, really old lolcow who never made it.

On a separate note, are you talking about non consensual sex rape or statutory rape with your last sentence? If they weren't consenting, I don't think age would play a factor at all. As for statutory rape, it is possible that I'm in the minority, but idgaf about a teenager fucking anyone as long as they want to. I had friends who were having sex with older boyfriends when we were twelve–as long as everyone's having a good time, no harm, no foul in my book.

how can anyone accuse him of being a pedo? what do you want him to have done? back then there was not the kind of security they have now, women practically tore the clothes off and hair out of the stars they were obsessed with the moment they got within reach. was he supposed to stop and go "hey young woman who is dressed sluttily, wearing makeup and clawing her way onto my lap, who looks of age and if asked would definitely lie and say she's 18, please stop and prove your age to me before we continue!" he had no way to know the age of anyone he slept with, and fuck man, i would assume anyone going to a concert by themselves and is backstage would be a fucking adult, if they weren't, then their parents are pretty shitty.
and again, groupies back then would go to concerts with the specific intent to have sex with the band. it was like pokemon "gotta catch em all!" they'd fuck as many stars as they could, all for bragging rights. and heeey wouldnt you know, that supposed 14 year old is STILL BRAGGING to this day.

Get a grip. These girls grew up in Hollywood and would literally stalk up and coming musicians from venue to venue.
They all knew exactly what they were doing and they wanted it, and if the tales are to be believed it sounds like they had an absolute fucking blast.
Imagine an era where you could hit up the town, walk into a club and see your idol casually reclining on a sofa with a few drinks, and it's the most normal thing in the world to just walk up to them, start a conversation, get absolutely blasted together and spend the night in a hotel in a furor of cocaine fuelled lust.
That being said, I have my doubts about Lori's account.
According to her she lost her virginity to David and was back and forth with him for over 10 years, and not a single photograph of them together exists,Lori Maddox being the girl that was photographed virtually every night at some club or other hanging off the arm of some misc. artist.
If Lori did lose her virginity to David when she was 15, well she was one year away from the legal age of consent and Bowie would have been only 24 himself. I'm not splitting hairs over that. I became sexually active when I was 15 myself.

another thing i want to say on the subject, just because it just pisses me off so much to see bowie dragged through the mud by sjw scum is:
why is it that tumblr goes on and on about not slut shaming and defending promiscuous women, but the second they find out the girl is under 18 she suddenly goes from a brave, empowered woman, a free spirit in charge of her sexuality and defying society's rules, to a poor, innocent CHILD, coerced, blinded by the patriarchy, and if she has the nerve to be ANYTHING but an emotional wreck with her self worth entirely shattered for the rest of her life then she's in denial and brain washed because no matter how SHE feels about it, she's a VICTIM!! she's been ABUSED!!!

People in this thread have said that it was "different times" in the 70s, but even when I was a partying teen in the 00s there was no shortage of underage girls at clubs (there's no ID system in the UK) and I think half the girls in my class were dating 20 year olds when they were 16 (pretty common at UK colleges where anyone from 16 to 60 can be in the same class).

I an lying here listening to Pretty Things and Life on Mars on my phone though.
You know, a lot of artists just pump out album after album as a means of financing their lifestyles, but the fact that Bowie left us one last one on his deathbed when he knew that money was worthless to him at this point, it just goes to show how dedicated he was to his art.

I mean he died exactly 2 days after his birthday and 3 days after his final album was released, and that lyric in Girl Loves Me, "Where the fuck did Monday go?", when he died on a Sunday has me scratching my head.

You would think that Tumblr would love Bowie. He was gender bending since it was literally dangerous. He was married to a black woman. He campaigned for black artists on 80s MTV. He campaigned for Aboriginals when he lived in Australia.

>>59150Both sides commit horrific acts during war. Luckily the internet is making objective information easier to find.
My grandmother was a young girl on a Belarus farm during WWII. Funnily enough, she always tells us how handsome, polite and clean the German soldiers who occupied her family's farmhouse were, even though my grandmother's family was forced to continue working the land and provide supplies. When the land was reconquered by Russians, Rus soldiers practically turned her house house into a garbage dump and treated her family like little more than slaves. It's never black and white~

>>59150I heard about the Red Army Rapes too. There were also hundreds of rapes in France committed by American soldiers during their liberation. I expect there other incidences of rapes during liberations too.
Obviously nobody wants to mention stuff like that in history because they like the winners to look like the good guys so it seems like everything worked out perfectly.

Below is an account from the Luftwaffe pilot Erich Hartmann. It's a pretty difficult read:
>half-drunk Red Army soldiers, armed with rifles and machine guns, made unarmed Germans stand in rows. Other Russians forced women and girls to lie on the ground, tore off their clothes and began raping them. The male Germans could only silently clench their fists. U.S. soldiers from their truck looked on at all this with eyes wide open. It seemed that they were simply paralyzed by the spectacle.
>when two young German girls, stripped naked, shouting all the time rushed to the truck and in desperation began to climb on it the American guards pulled them up. The Russians did not like this. Firing wildly into the air and shouting, they rushed to the American truck.
>The U.S. soldiers quickly readied their guns, and the truck raced away across the road. When it had disappeared, the Russian soldiers attacked the German women again. A young German woman, a little over thirty, mother of a 12-year-old girl, knelt at the feet of a Russian corporal and prayed to God that the Soviet soldiers take her, and not the girl. But her prayers went unanswered. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she kept praying. The Russian corporal walked away from the woman, his face contorted into a mocking grin. One of the soldiers hit the woman on the face with his boot. "Damned fascist pig!", he yelled. The young mother fell on her back. The soldier who had hit her, shot her in the head and killed her.
>the Russians seized all the German women who were visible. The little daughter of the murdered woman was dragged behind a tank by the killer of her mother. He was joined by other Russians. For half an hour rang out wild screams and moans. Then, completely naked, the girl, unable to stand on his feet, crept back. However, in the overall picture of the atrocities, the suffering of the girl was not anything special. The helpless German men tried to persuade the Russian guards to allow them to help the girl. Rifle at the ready, the Russian allowed a German medic to attend to the girl. An hour later she died, and her last sobs burned the hearts of Hartmann and his soldiers.
>8 and 9-year-old girls were being repeatedly raped mercilessly by a brutalized Russian military. They showed no other feelings other than hatred and lust. Until all the monsters had satisfied themselves amongst the wild screams and wailing of women, Erich and his soldiers were under the muzzles of guns. >spattered with blood, the Russian, lust satisfied, took over the covering of German soldiers.
>mothers tried to protect their daughters, but they were beaten unconscious and dragged to the side, and then raped in that state. Even though Eric was a battle-hardened pilot, who had fought in hundreds of missions and who had received many wounds was struck in the heart by what he saw. By a superhuman effort of will he fought down an attack of vomiting. Such an orgy just could not go on for long. Lust was sated, and began to appear the first signs of pity. Sometimes smiling, sometimes indifferent, sometimes a little depressed, Russian soldiers returned the women and girls. Those who were dragged away from the truck, nobody saw them again. Others fell unconscious in the arms of shaken fathers and husbands.
>the Germans were herded into a makeshift camp in a meadow. They were allowed to go to the lake to wash and wash clothes. Then around the meadow was built a ring of 30 tanks to organize security for the night.
>Russian soldiers came again and again to the German women. The violence continued throughout the night, and stopped just before dawn. Women stumbled back, like broken dolls, after the Russian had satisfied themselves.
>sodiers of JG-52 Squadron, which served E. Hartmann, had to make hard choices, and many of them made it. >when the first rays of the sun fell on the meadow surrounded by tanks, many Germans did not rise. Those who woke up, found themselves in a terrible realm of death, which was etched in red-hot iron in their memories forever. When Eric woke up, he saw a German sergeant with his wife and daughter lying beside him. >the sergeant's wife quietly cut the veins of her hands with a homemade knife. Then he just killed his 11-year-old daughter, and then cut his own vein . Life slowly went away from them, while Eric lay nearby watching. Other men strangled their wives and daughters and then hanged themselves on the sides of trucks. They preferred to die slowly and painfully. Erich began quietly talking to himself, to overcome the terrible effects of the bloody scenes in the mind. "You must live, Erich. You must survive to tell others about what happened. You can never forget what happens when man falls below any animal".

Just so you know, you can put the youtube link into a box under the "File" box of the comment section and the youtube vid will poulate within the comment itself instead of just as a link.
>>59270On one hand, you are bringing up things best left alone considering the shit this thread's already been through. On the other, I actually completely agree with this sentiment–I would've been all over Bowie back when I was in high school nevermind the age difference; if I'd been a teen back in the '70s and had a chance to have sex with him I would've jumped at it.

I want born until 1991 but even so, I still remember growing up before the corruption of the internet and the ever watchful gaze of CCTV.
These days it's like you can't do anything without being watched, recorded or uploaded to done site, but back then it seemed like everybody got away with fucking murder.
Like Lori Maddox said that she got started after meeting Sable Starr and then waiting for her mother to start her night shift at work, getting all done up in their glam-rock threads, makeup, gallons of hairspray, and then sneaking off to the Sunset Strip to see which rockstars they could find.
It sounds magnificent. Can you even imagine? CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE.
I don't even usually like men but Bowie had that kind of androgynous sensuality that really drew me in and apparently he was quite the sensitive soul.
Typing in past tense like this is breaking my heart…

>>59278Yeah, I was born in '88 and seriously the world has changed SO MUCH since we were kids, nevermind how the world was a couple decades before.
Very few guys do anything for me, either, but Bowie was so goddamn hot. He had such a prescence.
(I'm a little in denial that he's gone. Intellectually I know he's no longer here, but emotionally I still can't conceive of a world without him in it. I wish we could've been sharing happy Bowie vids/pics under kinder circumstances.)

If you've never seen it then Soulwax's "Dave" is worth a watch.
Basically it's an hour long Bowie mix (no remixes or anything, just normal songs mixed together) accompanied by an original hour long music video. The video stars model Hannelore Knuts as a time travelling Bowie meeting his past personas and recreating album covers. If you know Bowie's covers then it's a lot of fun guessing what's coming up next.
Them embedded video is the one minute trailer from YouTube, the full video is on Vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/53207758The video's aspect ratio is 1:1 on purpose. It's part of Soulwax's second Radio Soulwax (Under the Covers) series and is meant to be album covers (which are square) brought to life.

LOL his voice sucks so hard! Bowiefantards think he was the star of the song under pressure but David Bowie was in this song the unnecessary rapper they add in songs.
http://youtu.be/YoDh_gHDvkkBut I guess queen in order to stay popular needed some features with other artists & I dont blame them tbh as David Bowie was indeed the best candidate seeing Bowie was whoring/lady gagaing around with this space shit (the song was in the album hot space)
Also, I admit he has one good song (space oddity). I just had to get this out of my chest but keep in mind that the moment Madonna dies we will remember her as an icon. And she btw also has a beautiful song (this used to be my playground).
