    Glitter: the popstar - ITV 9PM

    A friend of mine has a theory about people in a power position who become abusers.

     

    Imagine you are in GG's position back in the 70s - loved by all, a musical icon.

     

    You can sleep with anybody you want without criticism or fear of arrest. We've seen this all too often.

     

    Initially it's probably just normal sex with consenting adults, as time goes on younger and younger partners then threesomes, then "swapsies", before you know it, orgies. 

     

    These eventually become staid and boring - "already done that.." - and so those in the power position find more and more "thrilling" - i.e perverse, sexual practices. 

     

    With no boundaries we see the old story of absolute power corrupting absolutely. 

     

    I suspect that the cases we've seen are just the tip of the iceberg and as time goes on we'll have more and more cases of Rock Star abuse cases coming into the public eye.

    Are short scale basses really as bad as they say?

    I've got three (two that I use), a mini Squier P, a Musicman SS and one of Jezza's creations.

    I took the Jezza to a recent event put on by my local luthier,  Matt Kersey which had some pro players  - those that tried it were blown away. 

    I feel that people are more prepared to try anything than at any time.

    I remember when Ashborys first came out - they were considered a joke - now you see Uke size basses everywhere.
