The image is scary enough with all the horrifying scene elements, but read the accompanying biographical text for an added dose of childhood trauma.
"Deserved" beatings with a leather, square-edged machine belt?

I grwew up in a famliy of people who believed this sort of child abuse was a perfectly fine thing to inflict upon a child.
ReplyDeleteIf you doubt that Mr. Boone deserved his fate, you've never heard his version of "Tutty Fruity" -- I'd like give him a wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-whop-bam-boom myself.
ReplyDelete-- SCAM
The beaten child thinks he's deserved corporal punishent? Corporal punishment on a child for, what?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone spell "Stockholm Syndrome"? :-)
Well, Mr Mayor, maybe Mr Boone deserved severe beatings for his lyrics, I can't really say.
ReplyDelete... but you must consider that he sang those lyrics when he was older... You have reversed the cause and effect...
Child beating leads to bad "Tutti Fruity". I mean, he got a "wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-whop-bam-boom" from his father, and years later he started to sing publicly... It's trauma!
I mean.. just READ the lyrics for Speedy Gonzales! Isn't that a father figure?
So, fight child abuse with all your might to save the world from really bad music!
