All right, don't get lost, no dogs.

Yay!

I had to pull that back so much.

You have no idea how hard I had to pull back on this section.

And so after Jimmy Savile was given a permanent spot as a DJ on Radio Luxembourg, he was primed to be the voice that brought bands like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles to the ears of young people across the United Kingdom when those bands started releasing hits a couple years later.

And really, think about the power of that.

That is incredible power.

You are the man who is introducing...

England to the Beatles.

You're the man who is introducing England to the Rolling Stones.

It also meant that Savile was primed to exploit the so-called groupie scene that would coalesce around Britain's pop stars.

And of course, their sexual transgressions throughout the 1960s are many, varied, and well-documented.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, to be fair to the pop stars, a lot of them were in their late teens and early 20s.

And like I said, the age of consent in Britain, whether it was right or wrong, was indeed 16 years of age at this period in time.

As I've said on No Dogs in Space many, many, many times, you would be hard-pressed to find a single male pop star in the 60s and 70s who didn't have sex with teenage girls, especially the British.

Yeah, they were having sex with the guys, or they were married.

Yeah.

Very rarely.

Maybe.
