I'm going to have to face it and actually think about it for a second instead of just shoving it down and letting it come out as a freak out of the grocery store.
That's a longer story.
From accounts, Jimmy Savile had already set up his life to feed his monstrous sexual urges by the time he started getting big on Radio Luxembourg.
The most graphic account comes from a man named Tony Calder, who was just 18 in 1961, but Calder would eventually become...
one of the most successful promoters in the UK in the 1960s.
Calder was actually the guy who got the first Beatles single, Love Me Do, played in dance halls across England.
And by 1963, Calder would be a business partner to Andrew Lug Oldham, who was, of course, the manager of the Rolling Stones for much of that decade.
In other words, this guy was legit.
He was a legend in the industry.
According to Calder, Jimmy Savile offered to get him laid when Calder was 18 and just starting in the music business.
He had, I think, just gotten a job with Decca.
Savile took Calder to an apartment funded by the Mecca Dance Hall, an apartment in Leeds.
They called it the Shag Pad.
It had three or four bedrooms where people would, quote, shag all night long, according to Calder.
Yeah, baby.
Like that?
Yeah, baby.
Do I make you horny?
Me, baby.
Baby shag.
