  1. > “I’ve been asking this question for seven years, since 2017 when the #MeToo thing happened,” he said. “Why… why not the music industry? I mean, they went after NPR pretty bad. They got like, four, five guys from NPR, like old guys who posted, like, an outrageous limerick on the doorway of the bookshop.

    > “The music industry is this open cesspool of misogyny, and frankly, rape and sexual harassment, and somehow, the angel of death has just flown over them. Why do you think that is?” asked Maher.

    > Lebowitz offered, “I think because this is a capitalist country, and the music industry is much more lucrative than NPR. That would be my guess.

    > “A lot of the stories about everybody starting with #MeToo, I’d heard a lot of these stories for many years,” she continued. “So, Puffy, this was not exactly a state secret. But it was a state secret apparently to them.”

    David Bowie is an untouchable icon in the sense that Puffy, Roman Polanski and, certainly, Harvey Weinstein are not. It pays to be ultra-cool.

    In general, musicians are revered on a mysterious level beyond other celebrities. There are still hundreds of millions, or billions, of Michael Jackson fans who think he didn’t rape kids. Music may be an identity thing – it’s close to the core of people, somehow.

    A lot of people in the music industry got accused of things but actual charges and jail time? Like puffy who is set to go away for a long time if he’s found guilty? Not so much  But 

    it’s the same thing for Hollywood. Weinstein is doing time, Danny masterson as well, but how many other people? Most others just got sued, fired, or temporarily dragged in social media

  4. Did metoo hit anything?

    It was like Weinstein and then American society was like “shut up” and made a rapist president.
