A lot of people let him get away with it for a long time, looking the other way because of his legendary status in the music biz. Happens in film and politics too. In fact, with celebrity in general. Celebrity is now the gauge of wealth in the U.S.A., if not the entire world.

The Wagner of Pop music!
