From The “Where Are They Now” Files

GaryglitterYou all know who Gary Glitter is, even if you think you don’t. 

He’s the one-trick-pony, sexually ambiguous, glam rocker who wrote the catchy jock rock classic now played at every single goddamn sporting event (except for golf, I suppose, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we start hearing it there soon).

Yes, you know that song.  It’s called ‘Rock and Roll (Part 2)’ (mp3).   The one with a heavy backbeat, and guitars that wail:

Duh-naaaa nah – [crowd yell: HEY!] – duh-na duh-na duh-na

Duh naaaa nah – [crowd yell: HEY!] – duh-na duh-na duh-na

Anyway, he’s been on the run for years.  Something about child molestation and the death penalty.

Did I just ruin that song for you?
