I am not trying to be edgy. Just a very recent revelation..I didn't know until that movie that Elvis was dating a 14 year old. So the only progress in this scenario we made as humanity from Mohammed to Elvis was one year. I guess that's progress?

But honestly, reading the lyrics of classic rock has really really hindered my ability to listen to some of my favorite bands.

Just a light example. The Animals. Love. Don't let me me misunderstood.... Comes off as domestic abuse apologist. Maybe I'm way off. I'll show myself out.

Nina Simone recorded it a year before The Animals. At the time, it was regarded as a metaphorical statement about the Civil Rights Movement.

Aisha was 6 when they married and 9 when "the marriage was consummated", so it's more than one year. Still not great but pedophiles won't ever completely vanish.

Mohammad to Elvis. Famously equivalent figures in their respective day.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but pedo or not, I've always hated Elvis and his music.
