Rolf's nightclub act in the mid-sixties was charming, rogue-ish, and hilarious. It's documented on three LP records recorded in Vancouver nightclubs and released only in Canada. I don't think his nightclub act is well remembered, but to me it may be his enduring achievement. And a slice of a brand of good-natured public humor that, sadly, can no longer exist again.

[@IsmailofeRegime]

As far as I know all those men you mention took advantage of underage "groupies" who wanted to have sex with said men, which is bad in its own right due to the power imbalance and lack of informed consent. By contrast, Rolf Harris had more in common with Jimmy Savile and Roman Polanski, forcing himself on girls who had no desire whatsoever to have sex with him, hence why he and Savile and Polanski are treated far more harshly, since their behavior can't be cavalierly dismissed with "oh well it was the 1970s" or whatever.

This is so strange. I always remembered the three-legged man on the Liberace Show. I always thought it was hilarious that his dad couldn't figure ought how to change his diaper. If this was actually done in 1969, I would have only been 5 or 6. I still remembered it at 61! I didn't remember it was Rolf Harris, so now this memory of being charmed by him as a kid is a little tarnished.

[@mads4it555]

No matter what has come out since, Rolf Harris was a genius entertainer, musician, painter and comedian and his work should remain shown forever.
