And minimising the response could play into it. Look at Louis CK. Does anyone really think he's rehabilitated? who's minimising the response, and why do you think Adams is reading here anyway?

Caveats on his behaviour and saying 'he's a dick but not as bad as (x). Not been said here but behaviour like that and worse is often excused as BOYS WILL BE BOYS.

Perhaps the claim of them often telling on themselves is the exaggeration? Got the stats to hand or is it just something you've made up? Jeez. Telling on yourself isn't a great way to put it. But saying it's something all men would does minimise it. It reduces it from being a conscious choice guys make to just being a biological imperative.

That's not a caveat, it's the fact* of what happened (*if the allegations are true, of course). And where are people excusing it with "boys will be boys"?

The debate on whether he has a career or not will be settled in a very black and white (or should that be orange) manner indeed.

You've been unable to recognise it as that guess. You're suggesting his guess is proof of Adams' guilt. If he *KNOWS* then that's different.

henry bear Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wisenbaker says he told RA ‘some time ago’ to get help, which indicates that he knew RA was fucked up.

I'm permanently annoyed with zahid's inability to use his brain. "Hey, some bloke on twitter thinks the same as me, that means I'm right." My guess is that Adams is probably guilty of things he's accused of. His guitarist also thinking that doesn't make my guess or zahid's guess more likely to be correct unless that guitarist saw bad stuff go on he did nothing about (which is the opposite of what that guitarist says, from what zahid said).

It's not just some bloke on Twitter. It's Adams guitarist! It's not Jeff from Swansea wearing a tin foil hat. I don't disagree that it's a 'guess ' though I'd probably say more 'informed opinion based on knowing the guy'. And yes, maybe he should have done something else sooner, but I guess that's part of the whole 'industry forgives and covers up for men like that' aspect of Adams behaviour, as well as the general thing of a lack of understanding if what exactly the right thing to do in that situation is.

Its the stuff with the teenager thats the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
