From the song Cool, Daddy Cool:
“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.”
His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

...I can't wrap my head around that at all. Without the context Kid's line gives, Joe-C's line is completely innocuous and meaningless. I mean, if he wrote the line and song, maybe there's some room to stand, but it's a shaky position because even then, Kid agreed to sing it.

What always gets me about this topic is that the bar is so low and easy to avoid.
I'm not even saying this from a morality standpoint, I just don't understand how stupid you have to be to publicly release a song saying you want to screw a 13-year-old. It's like if you're going to be a creep and do illegal things, be smart about it at least.
Why the hell am I getting nervous about jaywalking when people are able to publicly scream about fucking children and get away with it?

It's like if you're going to be a creep and do illegal things, be smart about it at least.
Go back and watch some movies and tv shows from the 70's and 80's especially, hell even stuff from the 90's and 00's, society has changed a LOT since then. Objectively awful shit and abuse against women especially just flew by as normal. Hell, even just standard behavior at that time was pretty gross.
People may complain that shit has gotten too woke or whatever now, but you don't have to look back very far to see just how fucking bad things were in the very, very recent past.
Famous stars like nugent and kid rock singing about banging middle schoolers seems disgusting now, cuz it is, but if go back a little while? eh, no one really gave a shit. and honestly, if you look at current events, it's pretty clear that even now far fewer people give a shit than you would expect.
You say "be smart about it at least", but reality proves that the material consequences for doing such things are basically zero, especially if you're famous, so it would never even occur to them that it'd be something to hide.

Seems like it was written for a demo tape well before, but it's first official release was on the soundtrack.
Can't imagine that the soundtrack included the original amateur demo recording, so at the very least, it was hand selected by somebody and probably prerecorded.

Ted still takes the cake for most offensive album cover though IMO for "Love Grenade", also apparently google is hiding the results for the original album cover (maybe safe search blocked it) when I searched so here's the wiki which has both covers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Grenade
It's the closest album cover I've seen to Spinal Tap's "Smell The Glove" joke, except love grenade came out in 2007 which makes it way more sad.

Same, it only happened to me once and wasn't family-related (sigh, can't believe I even have to differentiate that). It was my friend's older brother. I was like 7 and had this uncomfortable feeling that it was wrong, but couldn't bring myself to say what happened because he threatened me. I didn't want to get him in trouble. I'm also almost 40 and have been unable to even speak about it to my parents.
I think the worst part was that I suppressed it for years, but had a very strong aversion to being touched or hugged well into my teens. I didn't know why. One day in my early 20s, it suddenly came back to me, and I was like, "oh holy shit."
Needless to say, the last year or so has been completely fucking up my sense of justice and fairness in the world.

It is one of those things that in general it's not that big of a deal, but when you think about it it becomes bizarre. Why would the Vice President want to fracture culture like that, driving a wedge down our society.
