Bill Cosby, Opening A Dark Closet

SOMEHOW, STRANGELY, the Bill Cosby drama fits. This multiple drug rape business, all these women coming forth, it fits. Wasn't Cosby, forty and fifty years ago, a raunchy Vegas stand up comic with an X rated routine? Then, he began his decades long family family routine, which may, after all, have been sort of a cover. Here we have a huge celebrity, but someone who is nobody's idea of a stud. And let's face it, male celebs tend to be studs. Maybe Cosby simply felt that the number of women, and the lack of ease with which he could seduce them, was inappropriately low for a man of his fame and fortune, and he wanted, and got, more, got what he wanted, many women. Another Jerry Sandusky story; a high profile, productive, successful life, with only the huge hidden monster in the closet, which emerges just in time to spoil the reputation and legacy of the too successful perpetrator, right in what should have been the golden years. Cosby, as he turned his raunchy career into a family values career, became somewhat of a darling of the conservative movement in America, particularly with his message to young black men to drop the ebonics and the gang colors, get an education, and succeed in mainstream society, after the fashion of successful conservative white folk. but then again, it is interesting how often successful, family valued conservative folks end up having things hidden in their closets, unsavory things, and end up showing them, quite by accident. Maybe what we need, to take care of people like Bill Cosby, and the rest of us, is simply more sex. A More promiscuous society in which taboos against promiscuity are cut to the bone, everybody gets enough, and all this tension and anger and violence vanish.
