>Yeah the difference is one was doing it in the 2000s and

>(even though it is clearly more frowned upon now).

It's all about context (as u rightly started the era means a lot...)

But let's not be naive. It's also about if said music act had shown a pattern of such behavior....

Nah..no parsing...A rock star having a threesome with his wife and 14-15 groupie is some pretty shocking shocking shit...But in the 70s that shit was like having breakfast for most music acts...

Like I said below....Marvin Gaye, Chuck Berry and P-Funk all was involved with either obscene activity or underaged groupies and girls...And no one is talking about their dirt...No one cares...

Kelly's issue is he was still going at his young girl obsessions long after such activity was frowned upon...Like early 2000.....The new social media age we are in makes it tough to get away with more recent behavior like that...
