Hey, OP! Please reply to this comment to provide context for why this aged poorly so people can see it per rule 3 of the sub. The comment giving context must be posted in response to this comment for visibility reasons. Nothing on this sub is self-explanatory. Pretend you are explaining this to someone who just woke up from a year-long coma. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL Failing to do so will result in your post being removed. Now is also a good time to review the rules. If your submission is breaking any of the subreddit rules, it will be removed.
The fallout of Trump's death will be like this man's but on a much bigger scale. Savile got his tentacles into all facets of English pop culture but Trump is known worldwide and will have been the president of the US twice. There will be a huge unravelling just like operation yewtree found out after Saviles death. I personally can't wait.
When trump dies, it will be the biggest single celebration in the history of humanity. He is so universally hated by everyone besides trailer trash, you will not be able to hide from the celebrations.
I mean sure, there were people who played records one after another before him, but unfortunately, as the video said, he was the first person to create the modern conception of DJing as the first one to put two turntables next to each other.
I was debating if I should go back and edit for clarity ;)
I was half-conflating them, yes!
Grundy was the one Steve specifically called out for oggling Siouxsie, whereas Lydon called out Sevile for getting rapey with some of the Bromley Contingent girls. That's as best as I can recall at least :)
The rumours were an absolute staple of the early internet, as zilch happened to him they sort of just faded into the background - plenty who read them didn’t believe them either.

Just goes to show how protected he was, because the idea he operated in plain slight for decades is just unthinkable.
He has full access to children's hospitals, Buckingham palace, anywhere he wanted to go, really.
He was a childhood hero of mine, I used to watch Jim'll Fix It every time it was on. He almost had a mythical quality to me, like Santa Claus.
Guess who else was my childhood hero, who encouraged me to pursue a career in cartoon illustration? That's right - Rolf Harris.
Never meet your heroes. And definitely never meet them when your bedbound in hospital. Fucking ghouls.
Your post reminded me of this, and now I'm dying laughing again!

I’d love to see it but the difference is money and connections, so it’s possible that nothing happens
When he's dead, theyll start to talk as they'll make money off of books and paid interviews.
His kids dont have the power or influence he does.
Nah. People only discovered that Saville was a piece of shit child rapist AFTER he died.
Allegedly.
It will be a carnival ride watching it all unfold. It is impossible to keep his secrets once he finally rids the world of his presence.
And the fallout better take a lot of adjacent trash down with him.
smh people r really gonna lose their minds over the whole situation like chill already

Telling people to chill lol
He didn’t “invent the disc jockey”, he just became the most famous one in his home country
Good point, although I've no doubt that's the least egregious error in the video.
I mean sure, there were people who played records one after another before him, but unfortunately, as the video said, he was the first person to create the modern conception of DJing as the first one to put two turntables next to each other.
Johnny Lydon sussed him, leering at Siouxsie ;)
Are you getting mixed up with Steve Jones & Bill Grundy?

Gives the lie to that idea that "everyone knew he was a wrong "un." People need to be so much more careful and not worship slebs.

I remember watching on the Beeb a guy saying "He touched so many"

You are the company you keep. That goes for both of these disgusting creatures.
Protected by the establishment, who knows how many other kids were subjected to his, and others, perversions.
Mike Reid with probably the quote that probably aged too well. "Nobody really knew him."
Can I recommend a book here, "in plain sight".
So much yikes it's practically a scrapbook of regret
