Kim Fowley (Rock Creep) and Non-Creep Kesha

What a Creep<br />Season 16, Episode 7<br />Kim Fowley<br />Rock Creep<br /><br />When Kim Fowley died of bladder cancer on January 15, 2015, most headlines read that he was an underground rock and roll/LA legend who managed “The Runaways” in the 1970s. He was a tall, peculiar eccentric who never had the fame he craved but had a cult-like following of slavish fans who will miss him. Some outlets, like, NPR, mentioned he was a Svengali who seemed to prey on teenage girls.<br />In reality, everything you have heard about (and will hear today) about him is true. He was a striking, creative, intelligent artist/salesman and a cruel, ugly, pathetic, sexually abusive creep who left several women in his wake. He never paid for his crimes, but he was never a financial success either. He was NEVER as famous as he wanted to be. His body & mind, which he used to dominate and hurt others, failed him throughout his life.<br />Trigger Warnings: Sexual Assault, Verbal Abuse, & Drug Use<br />Sources:<br />Kim Fowley Wikipedia<br />Loudwire<br />EW.com Jackie Fox Accuses Kim Fowley of Rape<br />Huff Post.com<br />Pitchfork.com<br />Pitchfork 2<br />Evelyn McDonald’s Blog Populism<br />Evelyn McDonald Queens of Noise: The Real Story of The Runaways (2014)<br />Cheri Curie Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway (1989/2010)<br />Kim Fowley: Lord of Garbage (2012)<br />Vulture<br />The Guardian<br />Los Angeles Times<br />Jackie Fox Facebook Post<br />Kathy Valentine’s Facebook Post<br />Boing Boing<br />Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways by former Runways bassist Victory Tischler-Blue (2004) aka “Vicky Blue.”<br />Be sure to follow us on social media.
