You'll also notice that MeToo has not even touched the issue of pedophiles/assault on children.
See Nickelodeon and their shady producer.  Check out how many ''teen acts" got start on children shows - Mickey Mouse, Kidz Incorporated. That should be Today show material every day of the week, just like the gymnasts.
People like Justin, Spears, Christina... I'm sure there's some stories. Show-biz parents and Hollywood, a bad combination for singers, too.

I hope they get some light. There was a fantastic documentary that got buried.
That actor from Glee that committed suicide because he was going to go to jail for child porn? Would you be surprised if it wasn't suicide?

I'm also betting there's a whole lot of MeToo types that don't want to say MeToo because that would expose them as someone who traded sex favors for roles. Nobody wants to get in front of that line. "Yes, I sold myself and it turned out pretty good, as I type this from my mansion." Remember 'the fappening' that happened a few years ago, all those pictures of celebs that got 'hacked' from iCloud or iPhones? What if only ONE phone was hacked, and it was, say, Harvey's phone? Hmmm.

There's plenty of negative stories about rockstars. Axl beats women, etc. I'm sure some underage girls were involved.

You know the whole "grab them by the pussy" controversy with Trump?
My first reaction was "Yeah, I bet that worked 80% of the time" because I've heard/read too many stories about groupies and women around famous/rich/semi-famous people, whether actors, musicians, or wrestlers. I guess I'm cynical.

Well, I'll say this, the mix on the broadcast was shit. Reminds me of that AOL stream (Rio?) back in 2006.

Chinese, The Blues, and CITR all certainly seemed to have 'lost' something from some of our POV compared to how we experienced the songs at first.

For Chinese, I really enjoyed the distorted riff that comes out of nowhere and then the synth flourish that proceeds the drums.
It came out of nowhere. We got a taste of it during these first shows and also the Boston radio ad.

And then? They did that guitar tease live. Then we had a leak of that minutes-long introduction. The riff starting and stopping.

I missed how the thing started and then kicked in your teeth.

The Blues also lost it's teeth. It was a up tempo radio friendly ballad. Like...Train. Or something else! Then it got slowed way down into mini-November Rain territory. It didn't need to go there. Sure, they never played it as fast as RIR, but it got painfully slower year after year.

And Catcher.... maybe they had to conjure and splice that Brian May solo out of thousands of feet of outtakes, but damn that was melodic and haunting and the synth had room to breathe. Even in that analog recording we got. I could hum and air guitar that solo all day long. I still don't know what BBF is doing on the record version. The song got strangled.

I would very much like to hear more of these.

Someone had a comment about tape being out of date when these were first leaked - not exactly.

The most convenient form of recording sound and taking it somewhere else was still a cassette tape. Unless you had a MiniDisc recorder (remember those?). Ain't nobody had a MP3 player with a line in encoder, and if you did, it sounded like @#$%. Cars still had cassette decks (and CDs!) - and you were happy yours did, because you could connect your iPod with a tape adapter, and that sounded way better than the FM tuner your friend with JUST the CD player had to have.

The first leaks all - whatever the source, strip club CD, record label CD, band insider CDR - were put to some tape and then put back on a computer later. There's too much hiss and analog distortion on IRS 99, Twat 99, CITR, and (IRS?). OR maybe they were put into an analog out and then into an analog in on a MiniDisc. That's the best case. This latest file was definitely digital all the way to us. A good hi-fi system back in the day always had a CD player and a couple of tape decks. Remember that. That would have still been contemporary during the ol' leaks.

Uhmmmm, did somebody say leaks?
