Not Rolf Harris. That was a vindictive politically motivated set-up, that is falling apart as time goes by.

Paul Gadd was unfortunately a deeply damaged individual, from his own terrible start in life in notoriously abusive 'care' homes. The abused becomes the abuser etc. Very sad.

Great times, but more to come, the late 80`s and 90`s were even better, i found "bi" friends and Weed!! that lasted until 1995 when i moved in to my flat....so its 2019, my mortgage is finished and i have nieces and nephews yet im single, plus im a nice guy...oh well, life goes on.

It’s true what they say. Once you get Glitter on you, it’s impossible to get it off.

Please Answer only if you were there. 💗 Before all the personal problems happened with Gary. When we put Glitter, Bowie and Bolan as artists together . Did they have good or bad media coverage? Were they mildly the same in terms of artistry and mindset / personality ? Which out of the three would the British media abuse the most ? And lastly, Which of the three would the fans /girls be screaming for the most? Thank you. Serious questions. Be honest.

[@Principessa180]

@@thetruth9210 Hi Hey thanks so much for answering my question. It is interesting to me and I appreciate reading your account , testimony if you like , of actually being there ...Just googled Steve Priest. He is the one who sticks out to me and i like The Sweet ..Blockbuster I think I know of those. Anyway this conversation is better than any book to read so the 3 year wait also makes sense. it is appreciated. Don't worry I am patient for the truth lol. Thanks again.

[@moor1644]

I'm proud to have been in Gary's gang since the mid-1970s. I was first 'hooked' when hearing Doin Alright with the Boys, and have been a loyal follower ever since then. He's still the leader and always will be!

[@Rogerrabbit1966]

I was 7 years old had the bag from the market and a mini dress with a front zip. Used to do a great impression in the Junior school playground. At Liverpool University he was our Student Union Christmas Concert act and he came onto stage on a motorbike wearing much the same outfit as in this original video. He was hyped and so were we. The best concerts of my life. Adam Lambert may be an international millionaire superstar but the big Daddy and creator of glam rock pop was Gary Glitter. Come on Come On !!!

do i like him as a person no but i like his music and his stage performance
