You know it was 16 degrees today in New York. It’s not beautiful and it ain’t mine.
This song didn’t age well. Super creepy Epstein style perving on kids. Which was the height of cool back in the day.
It’s interesting what was normal when we were young and will get you canceled today.
I don’t get the fascination with very young girls but it has been around a long time.
I am just worried about freezing my balls off.

"You're my baby, you're my pet..."
Yearnings for ribbons and curls in a baby-pet that walks "out of my dreams and into my car", held and presented under the guise of falling in love with a heart that goes"pop"!"
Yuck, yuck, yuck, with a bizarre vid to add to the weirdness. The power-over dynamic and desire of adults to sexually take, claim or misuse another's innocence or vulnerability, tracks back to something severely absent or abusively present in early childhood.
I was one who sang along with Ringo's version of this. It came out during the last year of my teens. Back then, it was all about falling in LOVE and being cherished by someone. But then I too was carrying something unresolved that would take years to untangle into a clearer path forward.
Surviving the cold in the hope of spring renewal and rebirth is where it's at for me right now. I'd like to see the bulbs and plants we purchased at the last chance, year-end sale come to life and bloom.
It's a rock 'n' roll classic, kids (before your time, not mine) with the hots for each other. Leave a good thing alone.
As for Epstein, I read a piece by Emerald Robinson that puits an interesting take on what the Lolita thing was about. Very much a YMMV thing. If I'm feeling risky, not to mention risque, I may put it up.
As for your parts, I would recommend keeping your pants on.
Different times. There were a bunch of these kind of songs back when, and not just rock songs. Ringo's version was a cover of a rockabilly song that was also covered in "American Graffiti." I was still a kid when Ringo's version came out but even when I was in high school and there were a couple of pervy teachers, and several actual student-teacher "relationships" nobody said or did anything about it. (Until much later by which time the statute of limitations had expired.) In the 70s up to the mid 80s, a lot of girls flung themselves at rock stars, celebs, and other grown ups who should've known better and/or these adults flung themselves at girls; nobody cared unless someone ended up dead. This was the late 70s/early 80s. The Catholic Church cases changed everything. Now society has gone hard in the other direction and nearly any kind of sex is an outrage somehow to someone. Everyone needs to lighten up!
Yes, it would be wise for those who are into outrage to lighten up. Or better yet, open themselves to consider who or what might be prompting or promoting that type of anger response. However, I'm not of the belief that everyone needs to lighten up. Not in an era where the perversions, corruptions, deceptions and manipulations of some of the people who hold positions of power in high levels of government, entertainment and media are being covered over or ignored to promote an agenda. That's where the energy that gets diverted into drama and outrage needs to be corralled and focused instead on accountability.
Emerald's Robinson's substack article (possibly the one edutcher is referring to??)
on "The Mystery of Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell Explained at:

makes sense to me. Even if only half of it were true (as Emerald writes some unusual stuff), the four clues she provides are worth a look. With this as her conclusion:
"Many people missed these obvious clues because the corporate media kept insisting that Epstein was too mysterious to figure out. It was an easy answer, but was it true? Nobody wants to hear that the U.S. intelligence community was protecting a man running a global pedophile sex trafficking ring in plain sight. That would raise too many uncomfortable questions about how many American politicians had been totally compromised over the years — and who controlled them."
The good thing that came out of the Church Scandals, eventually, is the realization that pedophilia is real and that it doesn't just occur at Church but anywhere that children gather unattended by responsible adults, so there's more awareness about the possibility. Pedophilia has screwed up a number of people and they, in turn often pass it on to the next generation, so the awareness is a good thing. The hysteria, especially the highly selective hysteria, is not. There is an ongoing refusal on the part of the government media to report on the disgusting excesses of its own client members. It's nauseating to watch the blundering, heavy-handed efforts to deflect blame that would never be excused if the perp was, say, a priest or a bad uncle.
Epstein was a government agent, btw. Foreign or domestic, who knows. CW says he was Israeli but he could just as easily be a deep state duper. He wasn't a sophisticated financier but he had significant financial backing.
Just be aware that the Church scandals are a homosexual scandal and not really about pedophlia since it did not revolve around little kids. It would never have happened if homosexuality was not tolerated in the priesthood and the Church.
Sixteen is old enough to marry in most states. It is the creepy old guys that are at fault not the young girls who are just young and stupid.

It is and you made my decision for me. I'm going to link it and people can make up their own minds. I'd heard the name, but knew next to nothing about her. Her rep as a "conspiracy theorist" gave me pause, but what she says is provocative and reasonable.
Trooper, the Church also allowed/covered for abuse of girls by nuns as well as priests, and also younger kids, not just teen boys. For perverts of all stripes in any venue, it's all about gaining power via accessibility and deploying shame and guilt to prevent detection and interdiction. It's the same technique the deep state uses. That, and the fiction of "too big to fail."
Emerald Robinson is a jewel beyond compare!
I enjoy noting the differences in temperature between our house in northern Delaware and our house in central Florida. I also enjoy the contrasts when thinking of other places I’ve lived and heavily visited.
I’ll always dance to that song. Always.
Not WELL, mind you. Still haven’t gotten that hip replacement, yet, which does impede the pelvic movement, and also there are other issues. Yet STILL!!! As I said: I’ll always dance to that song, always…even if and when our elderly dogs look alarmed and eye me sideways. ; )
