Always hoped I had absolutely nothing in common with Garry Glitter, however according to Rock Babylon

http://www.thesleaze.co.uk/rockbabylon.html

Glitter was just as fascinated by school corporal punishment as the rest of us. Only difference is that he had a army of underage groupies to practice his obsession on. (What kind of groupies would follow Garry Glitter about when they had Bowie, Mark Bolen, Mick Jagger etc.? his groupies must have really been seen as the lowest of the low) Anyway sounds like he had fun back then...

'Jamette first broke into the decadent world of rock groupies in 1973, when she caught the eye of glam rocker Gary Glitter. "I'd heard that he like them young," says Jamette. "So I hung around the stage door at one his concerts dressed in school uniform, even though I was twenty-two at the time." Her subterfuge proved successful, and Jamette soon found herself in Glitter's inner sanctum. "He liked to dress up as a headmaster, mortar board and all, and punish the girls when they were 'naughty'," she told us. "The punishments ranged from him putting you across his knee for a bare-arsed spanking to full scale canings, which left you unable to sit down for a week!" Glitter, who was later jailed for possessing child pornography, had a huge collection of canes and paddles for use in his bizarre sex games. "I was finally dismissed from his entourage when I laughed at him when his wig fell off whilst he was giving me a particularly vigourous spanking," says Jamette, who quickly fell in with the Rolling Stones.'

I know I can rightly presume you no longer have anything in common with Mr Gadd. So, it was the change of wig-maker for you,then?!


Seriously, you probably haven't had the copious supply of available groupies to indulge your fantasies to the extent he did. Which is why there's no danger of you being sated with young women and moving down the age-bracket.


You do have to wonder about fantasists, especially with Mr G in even deeper opprobium. I do recall going out with a girl at c 15/16, who, in the era of George Best, was turned on by, of all footballers, balding,greying Alan Gilzean, so this woman's story may just be true!

But I have to admit in 72-75, when Glitter was in his best chart form, I'd be pushed to recall a single girl who found him a turn-on. I have a horrible feeling,looking back, that most of the kids buying his stuff were 8-10 year olds.


The Greeks have a word for it, or indeed him,mate, the word is YUKKKKKKKK!

Almost forgot-it could be worse!

If you had refused to clean out a grimy oven at the end of a domestis science lesson in 60's Liverpool & duly received 4 of the best, you'd have something in common with-------------------------CILLA BLACK!


And, if you were dancing around Glasgae in the early 60's with red hair & a tartan skirt & were frequently strapped on the hand, you'd have something in common with---------------------LULU!


If anyone's interested(PLEASE,GOD,NO!) the info about Cilla was in the NME summer annual of 1966 & she got it on the bum, or at least one presumes so, as the text talkedabout her having to bend over for 4 strokes.

I do trust you are clear of anything in common with those 2. I have something other than baldness in common with Gary Glitter & it doesn't involve paedophilia, porno downloads or ever entering the charts straight at number 1!

Surprise, surprise! Cilla caned on bum. Well done! Information not available on SF&R.

What you have in common with pedeo is anything to do with cycle short? Yes please.

An interesting angle on this is that the girls old Glitter was spanking were of the era where they were probably being caned/spanked at school, or at least had been a couple of years ago...

Wasn't it usually MP's that indulged in CP? Do these people's spanking games have any baring on their experiences at school? i.e. did Glitter see girls spanked at school and want to recreate it? or not? if not what gives people the idea of of doing it... don't fantasies, like fictional dipictions have more than a little thruth behined them?

Sorry, 'fraid not.


In 1982, I was in a band & we lost a potential recording contract because we were rude about the owner's wife having a contract, when she had neither looks nor voice!


Garry Glitter, when the hits had dried right up, lost a contract with the same label, for the same reason!

I reckon the world of music was given 2 lucky escapes in a row there.


Unfortunately, I can't even ride a bike, so cycling shorts are a bit of a luxury for me-any compliant females I ever find in the future, though, will be welcome to wear same!
