Pete vs Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis

[Sroundtable@xxxxxxx]

It's amazing that Pete can be so villified before he is even charged with anything and after a spotless record in this area, yet Elvis and Lewis basically get a pass despite having sex with and marrying underage girls.  This may be less true for Lewis, but oldies DJs never hesitate to play his music and, until recently, he was still performing.  Both men committed statutory rape, unless one naively believes that both waited until after their wedding days.  It is a travesty that Pete pays a price for setting such a high standard for himself, and that society views the actions of individuals in a more critical light based on whether the police are involved, rather than on right and wrong.  Hang in there Pete, it's just another tricky day.  We're with you.
