Who knew...the Eagles knew

Well it's damn hard to find this song on YouTube, but I believe there are many live versions available. I found one.

But first, lets look at the lyrics, from 1979 ish.

Think abvout that, 1979...

Well he sits up there on his leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones
That he hasn't had yet
When he thinks he wants a closer look
He gets out his little black telephone book

(He's calling)
(He's calling)
(He's calling)
(He's calling)

Come sit down here beside me honey
Let's have a little heart to heart
Now look at me and tell me darlin'
How badly do you want this part?

Are you willing to sacrifice
And are you willing to be real nice
All your talent and my good taste
I'd hate to see it go to waste

We gon' get you an apartment, honey
We gon' get you a car
Yeah, we gon' take care of you, darlin'
We gon' make you a movie star

For years I've seen 'em come and go
He says, "I've had 'em all, ya know"
I handled everything in my own way
I made 'em what they are today

After 'while, nothing was pretty
After 'while, everything got lost
Still, his jacuzzi runneth over
Still, he just couldn't get off

He's just another power junky
Just another silk-scarf monkey
You'd know it if you saw his stuff
The man just isn't big enough

This was a well known song. So what happened? Or rather, why did NOTHING happen?

It has happened in Hollywood since basically its inception.

Are you familiar with the documentary Girl 27?

Yes, my point was rather why the fppp nothing has been said until this came to light. Nothing was said in the past, when I was a kid for example, nothing.

Link to video isn’t working

There is no video. it is a live sound recording. It works fine.

What "came to light"?

I see nothing hidden here.

Fatty Arbuckle was just one early scandal and he's got the Eagles beat by about 60 years.

Then again and though Hollywood didn't exist yet Caligula had the same type of game on lock some 1,900 years earlier - with many in between and doubtless many famous examples before that and from every culture.

Give people power over others and the temptation to abuse that power tends to rise.

Shirley Temple's tragic history

This goes waaay back. So far back. She started at 3 years old. Imagine that. Imagine what she went through at the most formative years.
