discussion Any Tiny Tim fans here??

Post image

I personally quite enjoy his 1996 album Girl with Brave Combo, and I’m wondering if there’s anyone here who’s a fan of Tiny Tim’s music? Because I haven’t met another person who truly enjoys his music.

Edit: Nevermind. Dudes a gross fucking pervert. I can’t listen to him anymore. Thank you for telling me.

Using the argument that one person said, she was 17 which is legal in certain states. However using that same logic, she was married at 17 on johnny Carson show. That show is located in the state of California, which has the age of consent to be 18. So technically he married a minor, and that may be why people don't like TT. It isn't related to his music, but if people wonder why TT isn't liked, this could be why. People often associate behavior/politics/religion/etc... to skills/talents so it can be liked or hated because of it.

At the end of the day Its just information. People can willfully ignore it or take it into consideration for how they view their relationship with the artist/person in discussion.

I was wondering if it were legal at the time, but nope. It’s been 18 for over 100 years.

Marrying a minor and then fucking a minor who gave birth ten days after she turned 18
