Epstein and Bob Weir [View all]

According to the book A Long Strange Trip (which has received praise), Bob Weir was with a lot of underaged girls. Apparemtly this is something Dead fans either don't want to acknowledge or make excuses for.

While it isn't the violent prostitution of Epstein, it's still pedophilia!

I get it was a different time and I'm not saying people throw out their records, but on the other hand he should at least be openly criticized for his consistent behavior. Otherwise what sort of standard are we setting here, condemning Epstein and praising Weir?
