And probably with good reason, yet this is civilisation ? hmm
Being known means you are less likely to be able to hide. The news media are in the business of selling papers so whilst John Smiths conviction, release and deportation back here won't sell papers - Glitters will. It's unfair, but thats life.
This is second hand as i never saw it, but in the program "100 best hits of all time" or whatever it was called, apparantly they did not show a Gary Glitter song for, and i quote, "obvious reasons" but were quite happy to show Michael Jackson. So, perhaps the degree of celebrity protects you somewhat. If MJ is slightly more mad and a lot more famous, that's ok then.
I also don't understand how a criminal past has anything to do with whether you had a hit song or not
just show them all surely. Bet there was a George Michael one in there too
