Yes, in one way it's bogus that people would make a big deal out of who wrote the song, but HP's tying itself to a convicted pedophile -- that's just not smart.

I'm not sure why this is a Big Deal, other than the fact it's an unfortunate (but funny!) coincidence.

On the other hand, perhaps the execs who put this one together are too young to know who Gary Glitter was/is

I remember reading an interview with Iggy Pop ages ago where he said he'd had sex with 13 year olds (I'm assuming prostitutes) in Asia, but for some reason the media didn't pick up on it. I haven't liked him since and won't buy his music.
I don't care what these men think, no 13 year old wants to have sex with men old enough to be their grandfathers.

As you say, a can of worms in any artistic field when the "convictions" of the artist are considered.
