A very funny person. And I mean Funny. Your thoughts. Loved his humor. Like OJ though, you just don't want to believe it. That many women? Wanting to involve themselves in something so sordid, not to mention having to show proof of some kind that were ever in his presence? Tricky. Icon versus truth.

It's a shame really. I thought he was an excellent role model for black youth ... then this stink rose. Sounds like too many voices to ignore.

I heard today that the number of women "coming out" is up to twenty so far.

It is a shame, I to thought he was a great role model for kids.. and men. I Don't really want to believe it to be true. But 15 woman with basically the same type story cannot be wrong.. same M.O... Drug them and abuse them in some way. I do question why it took so long and why some took money from him... but that does not change the fact. which unfortunately appears to be that the accusations are valid. ( for the most part too much consistency to ignore.

its a shame,,,, however, I have not heard one that sounds like a victim sounds like decades ago they were partiers and promiscuous, and they just happened to at one time to wake up oblivious next to someone who has now reached the heighth of fame,,,,, if we were to speak of something he has done now or in the past decade, its one thing to bring up NOW something that (allegedly) happened and was never addressed DECADES ago,, something that a 30 year old did being brought up when he is 70,,,,well,,,i don't share the interest or empathy ,,,,,,

Well.. we'll see where the date stamp actually stops. I don't think it has .. yet. To think that drugs were possibly used on a woman regardless of the situation is alarming. Time will tell. This isn't going to go away anytime soon.

This isn't going to go away anytime soon. here is the issue with that I don't believe a woman would SEE someone slip them a drug and still drink it. I believe there is an assumption that a drug was slipped. I think its more likely drugs were very much CONSENTUALLY a part of their socializing and sleeping around.

The 60s, 70s and 80s were the age of the drug culture. Couple snorts, couple tokes, couple bumps, couple shots and it off to somebody's place we go. Next morning, no appetite, quick shower and off to work we go.

I don't think Crosby was part of the "date rape" culture, he didn't need to be. His was a life of choice and the lines were always long waiting to drop the drawers. The drugs were just the icing on the cake for those in line. But some series of lawyers are going to make immense amounts of money and Crosby will exit broken and much less endowed financially. Isn't modern society marvelous?

all the hidden slime of earth shall laid bare, and what was up will become down, and what was down, as up. the intellect cannot even begin to conceive of the reality that hid behind big wooden double doors. what was worshiped shall become despised, what was despised shall become worshiped.

the sick past haunts the sick, the good past uplifts the good. those who exploited, shall run for cover scattering like cockroaches, but the fumigation of the slimey exploiters none shall escape.
