"...but that is from a lifetime of work."

Do you not think that Jake and Logan Paul earned that money from a "lifetime of work"? They each started their empires in their teens. Now, I do think they're both twits and should be slapped hard, but there's no question that they have worked hard in some manner their entire lives to create the lives that they have.

In answer to the original question, no, I have not changed my attitude toward the band. You would have to stop listening to music if you required moral purity of the artist as a prerequisite to enjoying their music. I've never held any Rock and Roll band up as a bastion of morality.

LOL! I'd say that pretty much covers it. You mean rock stars shouldn't be role models for kids? "Sex, drugs, rock and roll" etc...

Half of their songs are about sex.
They got to bang whoever they wanted.

Another lefty witch hunt?

I find it sad that so many here are explaining away what amounts to child sexual assault.
I have never been a fan of LZ in part because they blatantly ripped off black artists' music. I am far from the Church Lady on behavior, except when it violates the law and rights of the less powerful/powerless.

That's true of 99% of the music of the "British Invasion" of the '60s.

Interesting stuff on Wikipedia. Wonder how much is true

Lori Mattix (born 1958), sometimes known as Lori Maddox or Lori Lightning, is an American former child model and "baby" groupie of the 1970s. As of November 2015, she is a partner and buyer for the Glam Boutique in West Hollywood.[1] She is perhaps best known for an interview with Thrillist in 2015 in which she made allegations of being involved in sexual relationships with David Bowie, Jimmy Page, and Mick Jagger; these are relationships which would have occurred while she was underage and while the musicians were in their twenties, although her connections to Bowie and Jagger are disputed.

At the age of 13,[when?] Mattix began frequenting clubs on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood with her friend Sable Starr,[3] particularly the Rainbow Bar and Grill, the Whisky a Go Go, and Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco.[4][5]
Jimmy Page

In June of 1972, the members of Led Zeppelin were in Los Angeles for their 1972 North American tour. While there, Mattix met 28-year-old guitarist Jimmy Page for the first time at the Hyatt hotel where the band was staying, according to Mattix's 2015 interview with Thrillist. Page approached Mattix and introduced himself by the hotel's pool.[4][6][7]

Later that evening, the band's manager, Peter Grant, spotted Mattix and her groupie friends at the Rainbow Bar and Grill. He insisted she come with him. A limo then drove her back to the Hyatt to meet with Page in his room. In a 2009 interview, Mattix claimed she lost her virginity to Page during that encounter.[8] This was the beginning of her sexual, romantic relationship with Page despite being in her mid-teens. California's age of sexual consent was 18 at the time and still is.[9] Because of this, according to Rolling Stone, Page feared charges of statutory rape and went to great lengths to hide his association with Mattix.[10]

I'd never heard that before. Who did they rip off and with what songs?

"Ramble On" probably my fav.

naa.. I might grant you that Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band but Freddie is the best front man.
