      Not Rolf Harris. That was a vindictive politically motivated set-up, that is falling apart as time goes by. I haven't looked deeply into the Saville case, it seems legit, but there are certainly lots of reasons to be sceptical of the RH prosecution. 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.

    And this song is really very very good, indeed. A true classic of the glam rock genre. I choose to remember Gary for the good things he did.

Most of us were at the Disco with just an image in our head of a guy in a wig making us dance. He was a showman.

    when I was a small boy, Glitter was the best thing on the radio. the music was so full of energy, incredibly well produced, totally infectious. subconsciously his music was a big influence in my own musical productions 20+ years later.
    what he did as a person is sickening and unforgivable like so many others in show business, politics, the church and throughout society in that era.

    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 !!!
