As my old man would have said: “Eeeyuk” Thanks for highlighting Had “If We’re In Love” in my favourites. No longer
Always thought he was a square old man back then.
It’s hilarious and tragic. In most cases you’d say tragic for this poor sick old man but in this case the real tragedy is that no one is doing anything about it. And I’d not let any child of mine within 5 miles of him.
It is a sad statement about the U.S. right now that so many people are protecting an old man who has tortured and raped young children. And those protecting him are fully aware of his crimes. So messed up.
