      I’m something of a man of culture myself.

      I’m having a hard time finding a good picture, but I had a whole wall of Frankenstein Girls lyrics written in silver sharpie.

      Me too. This was their best album, IMO. I genuinely love half the tracks, and listen to many of them regularly.

        It was eligibly the most expensive and ridiculously produced album of all time. It’s their best album because nobody ever trusted them with their wallet like that again, lol.

      They’ve been my favorite band for a long time, and I’ve even got a picture somewhere of me kissing Jimmy. But it is sad what has become of them, with the legations against Jimmy and all that.

        As another big fan, I don’t think there’s a single surprising allegation against Jimmy. When people tell you, repeatedly, who they are you gotta believe them.

          I get that he’s always been quite the deviant, but I didn’t think that extended to underage girls… but I guess I should’ve known since the pic I have of kissing him i was 16, and while I’m a guy, I know that Jimmy doesn’t seem to care either way.

            I feel like every touring musician with a mostly youth audience at least up into the 2010s was taking advantage of their underage fans. It just wasn’t as big of a deal, culturally. I graduated in 2009 and had plenty of friends and classmates dating older people, and I do think it’s creepy now as an adult but the adults in our lives at the time certainly didn’t seem that bothered. The fact that some artists have been crucified over relatively benign behavior while others are still revered despite their repeated flagrant abuse of minors I think speaks more to the fan bases of those musicians than anything else. MSI and Brand New fans are more the types to hold people accountable for their actions than RHCP fans, for example.
