"the complaint quotes directly from Tyler’s 2011 memoir, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, in which the rock star describes his sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl he picked up after a show in 1973, including convincing her parents to give him legal custody of her, 'so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state.'"

Steven broke the first rule of being a successful criminal: 
"Don't Write Down Your Crimes."
Every septuagenarian rock star around the world just got really nervous. >

Their parents should be put up too for basically providing them. >

Gene Simmons states publicly he’s slept with 4,800 groupies. I’m sure he wasn’t checking IDs. >

He was probably checking to make sure they weren’t too old.
That guy really sucks. >

IDK ... he's banned from Fox News for life, can't be all that bad. >

Simmons got banned for sexual harassment and joking about pedophilia. >

FOX banning people for sexual misconduct is hysterical. They should do an internal audit first before worrying about rock stars who visit their sets. >

You know all those fox people like , Jeff Zucker , Chris Cuomo and Jeff Toobin  … because it’s a partisan issue >

Who the fuck (other than you) brought up anything partisan? >

Let's not forget that we're discussing a time when Lori Lightning and Sable Starr were on magazine covers. This wasn't a secret by any means.
There's probably a discussion to be had about how social mores have changed over the last 50 years. >

And the Scorpions put an uncensored, naked prepubescent girl on an album cover.  I hate to use the term ‘it was a different time’ but, well, it clearly was. >

what the fuck? >

70s were wild man. >

🎼🎸 “I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can reminisce
'Cause the best thing lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!” >

Well, I've apparently been listening to this song since 1975 and never actually realized the lyrics were this dirty. >

There's a lot that slips by when you don't look for it, Thunderstruck is about fucking in a backseat and cumming and gets plenty of radio play, while Grease Lightning is about making a car that will get girls creaming. >

My favorite is hearing “Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones at work. As the song fades out, he very clearly says “you make a dead man cum.” Twice, no less. >

The young blood! I can't get you out of my mind! >

Pretty much every single major rock star from the late sixties through the seventies had sex with underage girls. >

Absolutely and those girls were waiting outside the dressing rooms or bus to have sex with the rock stars. This is no secret among fans or the stars. Wait until Motley Crue’s groupies get in their 60’s and start having regrets. 😄😄 >

I don't get this idea that because the underage girls wanted it that makes it okay?
The adult should be able to resist a bj from a child. >

Not saying it’s okay, just stating a known fact. That’s why it’s called Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. >

Lmao. So the rape is implied in the sex part and kids should know that before going to a show?
Such a fucking stupid take. 
If an underage girls offers a bj it's the responsibility of the adult to say no. 
Fucking gross as fuck man. >

Where and when did you grow up that you don’t know this has been happening since rock stars began? Ever heard of Elvis? >

Everyone knows about it, it shouldn't be condoned. 
Which is what you are doing here. 
Rock stars getting laid isn't a problem. Them fucking kids is a problem. 
You agree with this right? >

Of course. I’m not defending it. It just seems that the outrage now is a little late. Society as a whole has glorified rock stars and their sexual freedoms, even envied by many men. Where was this outrage when it was happening in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s…? That’s all I’m saying. >

There was outrage but there wasn't enough political power to do anything about it. 
Now you are saying it's too late to give a shit.
That's bullshit
If someone raped your daughter would you still hate him 70 years from now? Of course you would. 
Would you hate the system for not arresting him? 
Even more so.
By pushing back against this now you are preventing current victims from coming forward out of fear that people will just be apathetic towards their suffering. 
You are doing the thing now that you are complaining happened back then.
Just stop it. >

The motherfucker actually wrote about it?? >

I'm just shocked he remembers. I figured he was so drugged up then he wouldn't remember much of anything. >

Weirdly, this was the story that brought me to Reddit so many years ago. Full circle. >

Is this the moment where you delete reddit and never come back again, thus absolving yourself of this time sink? >

Dude... Is that how you get out‽ >

I don't think so >

Anthony kiedis is shaking rn >

Yeah in his memoir he admitted to having sex with a 15 year old- i wonder if thats the youngest he ever went. >

He also literally wrote a song about it, it’s called “catholic school girls rule” >

Whenever I see articles about old rockstars fucking teens I am always reminded about Ted Nugent’s song “Jailbait.” Allow me to share some lyrics…
​

Jailbait you look so good to me   
Jailbait won't you set me free   
Jailbait you look fine fine fine   
I know I've got to have you in a matter of time   
Well I don't care if you're just thirteen   
You look too good to be true   
I just know that you're probably clean   
There's one lil' thing I got do to you >

Every single rockstar from 1950 to 1990 right now: SWEATS IN A MINOR >

Not sure why you cut off at the 90s, because I know damn well the emo, hardcore, and indie scene were a bunch of dudes fucking high schoolers. >

Yes, but that's when it started becoming less prevalent and more widely condemned. Not saying it never happened after 1990. Just that it happened less, and that people were much less chill about it. Well, except for R Kelly literally marrying a child without people thinking too much about it. >

I’m pretty sure just about all of these classic rock guys are creeps, look up Sabel Starr and see how many of these rockstars had slept with her before she turned 15. 
Iggy Pop used to be one of my favorite artist but after realizing he wrote in one of his songs he fucked her when she was 13 I gave up on him, it’s a pity because the music is great but character means more to me.
As for Steven Tyler, he’s a bum, the Julia Holcomb story has been fairly common knowledge for years and yet he was still allowed to continue to progress in his career when he should have been serving time. 
He also completely ripped off David Johansen, Steven Tyler is just a shit human being. >

And Ted Nugent took guardianship of a child to go on tour with for his pedophilic use. Then he wrote a song about it. >

Proud tradition dating back to Jerry Lee Lewis. >

It was weird watching the movie. Their family was upset about it, but let it happen. It wasn't until Paris that he got cancelled. >

All 1970’s music was a giant rape orgy. >

Pretty sure The Carpenters didn't have any songs about rape orgies. >

"We've only just begun ...... to raaaaaaape" >

“I’m on the top of the world looking down on the… orgy” >

“Just like me, they long to be, groped by you…” >

Jimmy Page must be next >

Makes you glad you aren't rich and famous.  Everybody was doing it back then, not just rock stars.  Holding past actions to current standards isn't exactly fair. >

When I think of Journey and that song lyric on Homemade Love, Jelly Roll Sweetie ... there was an interview on the radio. Perry and Schon were purposely giggling and joking about its meaning.
Then my friend had her period, a heavy one, and said she felt like a jelly roll... >

Fucking finally.  Tyler has always creeped me out. >

So her case has merits, is applicable under the laws, & clearly Tyler knew at the time and since that this was wrong.
Good for her. Hope she wins. >

The other really fucked up thing about this, was I heard of it from fucking I Love the '70s on vh1 after school. And all the panelists were just like "haha, silly Steven." >

Why does he loom like Johnny Depp fresh off the Jack Sparrow dressing room? >

because JD stole his 'look' from Tyler and Keith Richards. >

Maybe even a little Al Jourgensen >

make Ministry synthpop again. ;) >

Does he even know where he is anymore? Ever listened to an interview? The guy’s not all there. >

Is this about when he (like Ted Nugent) became the legal guardian of a 16 year old girl for sex reasons? >

Is what he did okay? No
Are her parents just as responsible? Yes
Lawsuit 50 years later, filed 3 days before 2019 extended filing date...ridiculous and looking for payout >


is suing him in California, under a state law that has temporarily extended the statute of limitations for adults to take legal action on sexual abuse they suffered as children.

Legitimately the first sentence in the article. Suing as California extended the statute of limitations. >

That extension came into effect in January 2019. It expires tomorrow (technically on Tuesday, since courts aren’t in session tomorrow or Sunday and will be closed Monday for the holiday).  I believe this is what General was referring to. >

Ah that makes sense. It would be interesting to hear the reason but I could see it being one of, "that whole Covid thing happened and I waited it out" or maybe something like she was getting money from him the past few years to keep quiet and then decided "no fuck this guy anyways" and sued him right before the deadline to keep him nervous the whole time. >

Is he the one that adopted a girl just so he could marry her before she was 18? >

Not marry, just so he could take her across state lines for the purpose of sex. Her parents were cool with it. >

This has been an open secret for years, even mentioned in his book >

And in the Aerosmith autobiography released in 1997. >

No way that guy remembers the 70s. How is he supposed to answer honestly? >

You knew it was coming. >

Interesting that they didn't do this long before now.Apparently someone needs to up their retirement income. >

Exactly. Fifty fucking years later. Ridulous. >

50 years get out of here. >

Sadly it still goes on in the rap world.  Actually in every aspect of entertainment. >

Fifty years ago... (Seriously?) >

It should have been dealt with back then. 
You want justice and accountability or no? >

I want rationality and context. How 'bout you? >

There are a bunch of places in America where the statute of limitations on sexual assault have been lifted or greatly extended. This may have been the first opportunity she has to sue as an adult. >

Her first opportunity was three years ago. That’s when California extended the statute. It will expire on the first business day of January. >

It doesn't mention anywhere in the article when the plaintiff lodged the suit, I highly doubt you could even do it right now. All that you are going on is that this article was published today. >

I will never get the fact that this kind of garbage was accepted and celebrated by a large number of the public. In fact some people still celebrate what those perverts were doing in those days. >

16 year old girls are a horny bunch and most fantasize about a movie or music star all the time.
These girls were groomed by the culture before they met any star they wanted to bed.
Bed they did. So what. Crying about their typical teenage behaviour 50 years later is tooo much. >

Lmao. The adult shouldn't have to resist sexual advances of the child?
You are fucking gross. >

So are you and 16 year old girls that go after men >

Jeez, sure waited long enough. >

Fuck that guy, his entourage pushed me out of the way and into traffic in DC in like 1999. Like I was just standing on the sidewalk minding my own business… Trash-ass human. He’d have died a junkie if Run DMC hadn’t sampled his shitty song. >

A bunch of states have JUST temporarily suspended the statutes of limitations for sexual assaults for charges brought by adults for sex crimes that were committed against them as juveniles. She's not the only person to bring these kinds of charges against him either, even putting aside his own previous admission to fucking a 15 year old. Sounds to me like she should get that money. >

California did it three years ago, and the extension expires Tuesday (three-day holiday weekend doesn’t count). I think waiting for those three years - when she was already 62 and aware of the abuse - is what’s bothering some people. >

I don't see why it matter if she filed just before the expiration date. Is there any advantage I'm not seeing. >

It seems to speak to motive. Logically, if this had been a real hurdle in this woman's life, one would think she'd have filed a lawsuit as soon as possible.
That said, there could be any number of reasons for her to have waited, and none of us know her or her situation. >

Or she was deliberating on whether to go ahead with it or not. 
Filing a lawsuit on a celebrity is not an easy task - they have deep pockets to protect themselves and you are opening yourself up to scrutiny from the media and the public. >

Yes, this is one of the things I had in mind. As I said, none of us know this woman or her situation. >

It is a slap in the face to a real sexual assault victim to come up with a supposed assault claim at this stage, in this circumstance. >

I'd ask if there are ANY celebreties that aren't rapey, but i think we all know the answer to that. >

After the 20th post, we know... >

I had kinda dismissed this, like: it was a long time ago, and the timing of this seems opportunistic. 
But then an article quoted his autobiography: “She was 16, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn’t a hair on it.”
Ehhhh. He knew it was wrong and it sounds like he’s still kinda proud of it. >

Fifty fucking years is too long. Sorry, you missed your legal window FFS. >

Steven Tyler, Tommy Tallarico... it must run in the family. Being jerks, I mean. >

Was waiting for this one >

(Walks in with a cane) Is this where the Pass Judgment Club meets? I'm angry about Donny Osmond. >

wait
What Donny do other than be boring AF? >

My bad. It's the No Sarcasm Club. >

Any more info on this? I’ve never heard of “temporarily” extending a law? And what about Massachusetts where most of the abuse happened? >

Not the rockin roller coaster 🥲 >

Steven: "Well you know, there's a lot of the 70s I don't remember." >

At least Arlo Guthrie was a gentleman (in the movie Alice’s Restaurant). Martha Plimpton’s mom, Shelly Plimpton, played a 14-year-old who offers herself to Arlo, saying that she has already "made it" with several other musicians and "you'll probably be an album some day." He gently rejects her advances, giving her his bandanna as a souvenir and saying simply, "I just don't want to catch your cold". >

Was this the same person who had the"moral high ground" and got pissed at every GOP politician who used an Aerosmith song? 
I could have swore this guy is/was was one the Left's heros.
Shocker.... >


I could have swore this guy is/was was on the Left's heros.

If you’re a person who makes a habit of just making random shit up, then sure, I can understand how you’d get that impression. >

Google must be hard for you man. I googled and article after article came up praising Steven Tyler for sticking it to the GOP. 
They don't have google in China so it's hard to tell all the info you're missing out on.
