And here I was reading the title of your post, thinking you were some kind of Rent Boy!:)

The thing that gets me is that from what I've heard he's claiming he was doing research for his forthcoming AUTOBIOGRAPHY!?!

Now, unless Pete saved for his first strat by doing the rounds of **insert name of well-known London beat here - sorry, I'm an Aussie, and extremely culturally backward about these things**, I don't really see the relevance. Or perhaps he was abused as a child, has mentally blanked out the whole experience and needed a refresher.

Either way, whichever publicist or smart-arsed lawyer is suggesting he run with that line should either get off the drugs or hand them out en masse, as it's the only way I can see that one's going to fly!

Probably the same attorney who didn't advise him not to visit a child porn site for his research. And where's this police officer he spoke to concerning visiting this site.
What I don't get if you were molested as a child wouldn't you seek therapy instead of exploiting more children by visiting a child porn site. There must be enough support sites for survivors of child molestation which would have been a much better source of research for his autobiography.

Any serious Moz fan will have read Willy Russell's "The Wrong Boy". Its very easy to point the finger. (if you don't know what I'm talking about, read the book.)
 
if Towhshend was abused as a child and was really writing a book, he's pretty bloody stupid for not going through the appropriate channels etc.
 
I just can't wait to find out who the two ex-Labour cabinet ministers are (in this latest paedo scandal)...
 
couldn't he have just looked at some old calvin klein ads or watched a britney spears music video?
 
Re: He's just been arrested, not convicted.

i know, but he's still come forward by his own volition with a pretty preposterous story. now, i want to believe him, but it seems like he's just trying to get to the public before the police to -- you know, damage control. it seems to me if he hadn't done anything wrong he wouldn't have had to come forward. he would have trusted that the police and the public would recognize his innocence. anyway, i think the whole child porn thing is a witch hunt anyway.
 
Morrissey is right again.

I can't believe Elton John made the news saying "i hope its not true". Thanks Elton, I really needed you to tell me that.
