    I am not trying to be edgy. Just a very recent revelation…I didn’t know until that movie that Elvis was dating a 14 year old. So the only progress in this scenario we made as humanity from Mohammed to Elvis was one year. I guess that’s progress?

    But honestly, reading the lyrics of classic rock has really really hindered my ability to listen to some of my favorite bands.

    Just a light example. The Animals. Love. Don’t let me me misunderstood… Comes off as domestic abuse apologist. Maybe I’m way off. I’ll show myself out.

      Nina Simone recorded it a year before The Animals. At the time, it was regarded as a metaphorical statement about the Civil Rights Movement.

      Aisha was 6 when they married and 9 when “the marriage was consummated”, so it’s more than one year. Still not great but pedophiles won’t ever completely vanish.
