did anyone else watch this documentary?

So horrendous and sad what those poor young lads went through.

Although Woody seems to have got off remarkably unscathed, not sure how?

They were a bit, a lot, after my time. More my sister's thing, but I was intrigued.

Reading up, what they went through was horrific. It just goes to show what we do not know and how much is hidden in the chase for celebrity, fame and fortune. Not by the bands, but by their managers and minders.

It's still happening...

I didn't see it but did read about it. Just awful.
One thing I do remember about the Bay City Rollers is that they sold many millions of records but ended up skint. They were ripped off by Tam Paton, allegedly.

Being raped and sexually abused by him and his friends puts losing all their money to him into perspective I reckon
