Celebrity Deaths 2020

Little Richard liked little girls (as did most of his contemporaries at that time - Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee-Lewis)

Geoff, now i think of it.

…ok

Not how the obituaries are putting it, “openly gay” and how he described himself.

My name is in the credits but I am not an actor.

Story I read he paid underage teenage girls and then watched them have sex with his friends

My wife and children were also extras. They were in the scene where the horse is unloaded from the train and Douglas is filmed walking down a crowded street.
It was in fact two different shoots. The train scene was shot in Seymour and the street scene in Mansfield on a different day.
My family were happy because they got two days pay.

Someone can’t even be dead for 24
Hours without people throwing out these sorts of hardcore accusations.

Was he ever prosecute or even accused in court of being a paedophile? No! Then ease up.

He was the innovator of Rock n’ roll. So much for the music we’ve enjoyed all our lives is because of this man.

If you’re into podcasts, disgraceland did a podcast on little Richard a month or so ago. Some of those allegations were covered.

Little Richard was very open about his “struggles” all his life. There is a lot he was involved in as part of “rock and roll”, a lot he deeply regretted and the struggle he had to stop himself doing it.

Despite what people say, life is never simple and it is even less simple for those who have the money, fame and position to indulge what is called “the flesh”.

Sins of the flesh. Those sins are the best.

That line from the priest in Dr Zhivago - the flesh is strong and it can only be contained by marriage.

Wide is the path Diggers, even wider for those from WA…and wider still for those that turn their backs on their club and chase FRANKLIN!..
