Apart from the fact that they're all in their 50s and look AMAZING, I noted from their 30-year-old videos that they were all wearing lots of clothes including hats, and all looked great. None of this writhing around looking like a desperate webcam prostitute.

Watching Debby Harry on Top of the Pops repeatedly start to take off her jacket and then apparently change her mind drive my teenage self to distraction. Sex doesn't have to be explicit. From the mature vantage point I now occupy, I look at YouTube videos of Linda Ronstadt and realise that she is barely moving let alone grabbing her crotch.

It reminded me of a holiday in Spain a long time ago when a friend acquired unwanted lodgers in his lower half after an encounter with a precursor of today's young ladies. <br /><br />It's strange how feminism has enabled women to emulate the worst behaviour of men. In the 70s we expected so much more. I am glad I don't have daughters, but I'm afraid for my newly born grand-daughter in this world where the young are so easily sexualised for the sake of fame and wealth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-70616190028738736212012-06-03T16:56:17.765-07:002012-06-03T16:56:17.765-07:00No worries, Terry - I didn't know I could just...No worries, Terry - I didn't know I could just enter my name (duh). I guess things started to change when musical ability became so closely linked to aesthetic appeal. (Thank MTV, YouTube, etc.) If we were just judging talent on what we heard I think our current "megastars" would look a lot different. Maybe that's why so many with only visual appeal have success (even if only temporarily) without having musical talent.Moniquenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-26937215168939430892012-06-03T15:49:33.073-07:002012-06-03T15:49:33.073-07:00Kim and Monique (sorry, I thought you were previou...Kim and Monique (sorry, I thought you were previous anonymous!) - I agree wholeheartedly with everything you say.

However, the likes of JLo and Madonna can write their own ticket, and they STILL buy into the porno writhings.

I do think, though, that some of the pressure on young women in the music biz today comes from their publicists, the media, etc. After all, sex sells. I wonder if Chrissy Hynde and Debbie Harry would even get a foot in the door today? I doubt it, because I don't think they'd be willing to compromise their principles for fame. I feel sorry for young women starting out in the business now.
