Kid Rock's lyrics indicate that he is a pedophile "...I like 'em underage..." Is that his MAGA draw?

An excerpt from his song "Cool Daddy Cool":
"Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see
Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory)"

I've read that "this is how it was back then" - No. This language was never acceptable. It was always distasteful - ugly & unlawful - perverted. I don't know anyone who thought this type of thinking was okay. It is the perverted thinking of a pedophile.

Rock stars marrying 13-14-year-olds. (Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis)

Song titles acknowledging attraction to minors. ("Young Girl" - Gary Puckett) ("Jailbait" - Ted Nugent)

And so it goes.

4. Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13 yr old & he was ostracized. Can't think of any current pedo song writers.

Gary Puckett (who?) wrote about "young girls" and I hate everything about him.

Then there are all of the versions of "Go Away Little Girl"

I first heard that one from Steve Lawrence in 1962

The Beatles had one.

A lot of performers had a song like that in their book.

outrage on how wrong and perverted it is. Sure there is tittering and snickering at the naughtiness of it, kinda how those students snickered at Stephen Miller's racist rant. Societal outrage has usually always won. We all have children or siblings or parents or family, and we all know the difference between right and wrong.

Hell I had a substitute English professor whose lecture was on the child's fault in relationships - Fuck, talk about sick, and I told him so. I never returned to that class.
