They're totally adults.

And it's a whole band.

Now, that is a fun, old-timey tale of child labor.

And we love a good... Honestly, as child labor stories go, I don't really have an issue with that.

I don't think it hurts a 14-year-old kid for them to play the drums for an hour or two a night, right?

That's not really that bad as things go.

But you can see what's happening here, right?

From almost the beginning of his life, Jim is drawn towards entertainment.

And from his first gig, he gets used to the idea that your age doesn't matter, even if there are laws against it, and that he's kind of special.

He's not subject to the rules.

And that's bad for a kid to learn, right?

That's going to have consequences.

Now, again, the adults around him don't find this too strange because of the time that this is happening in, right?

And Savile also credits the way he's treated to the fact that he remained small and sickly.

I was like a chair or a table.

People used to talk in front of me because I didn't exist.

Anybody who had done anything wrong, I knew who had done it, but nobody ever asked me.

And one of Jimmy's great strengths here is knowing when to keep his mouth shut around crimes, a skill he would only master further as an adult, right?

Knowing how to cover up when he's aware that something illegal is going on.

This is, again, a very, very early thing that he learns how to do.
