Very sad. Rolf is the first of the bunch I actually liked. I hope he’s not guilty.
Think about where the TV performers on the list spent significant parts of their careers, and that circumspection becomes perhaps less surprising.
Oh, yes. Duh. When I posted that I wasn’t aware that it was basically a BBC scandal. I can definitely understand where the reluctance to be specific comes from now.
And the verdict is in. Guilty.
I wonder how this will impact the upcoming Kate Bush concerts? Rumor is that is will consist of two song suites, The Ninth Wave from Hounds of Love and A Sky of Honey from Aerial - which featured Harris on the song The Painter’s Link. Will she re-cast his part.
Rather than cluttering up our already-overcrowded prisons with people like this, wouldn’t it be a better idea to send them away to some kind of island/continent penitentiary?
I thought maybe as a tribute to Rolf she’d be doing Two Little Boys.
Too soon?
Ah.
We exiled him to England in the first place. Don’t want him back. 
But I doubt his sentence will be terribly harsh. He’s 84 now, and no longer a real threat to anyone I wouldn’t imagine. I’d wager he’d get a few months in a ‘nice’ lockup with parole being granted pretty quickly. Either that, or a wholly suspended sentence.
Whatever the situation though, he’ll never show his face in public again and thus he’s already effectively dead as far as the world is concerned.
I wish I could say I was surprised. I mean, he’s a prolific singer and songwriter, not to mention an accomplished didgeridoo and wobble-board player. Is it any wonder he’s also an expert fiddler?
FTR, I thought he was dead already.
then his hide would have been tanned.
From your link,
What does that mean?
Means the judge basically told him he’s going to enjoy Her Majesty’s hospitality.
Aaah, well, good that justice was served. wish the same were true for Saville and others.
Ahh, thanks, I figured as much, but custodial is one of those words many meanings.
The court is also taking into account alleged “bondage games” in which the singer induced a third party to participate in indecent activity with a marsupial. :eek:
The wallaby community is staging a hunger strike in protest.
'allo, little jackarooo! Wanna blow on me didgeridoo?
You Brits crack me up.
Not up me crack, as Harris is accused.
