What a CreepSeason 16, Episode 7Kim FowleyRock CreepWhen 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.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.Trigger Warnings: Sexual Assault, Verbal Abuse, & Drug UseSources:Kim Fowley WikipediaLoudwireEW.com Jackie Fox Accuses Kim Fowley of RapeHuff Post.comPitchfork.comPitchfork 2Evelyn McDonald's Blog PopulismEvelyn McDonald Queens of Noise: The Real Story of The Runaways (2014)Cheri Curie Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway (1989/2010)Kim Fowley: Lord of Garbage (2012)VultureThe GuardianLos Angeles TimesJackie Fox Facebook PostKathy Valentine's Facebook PostBoing BoingEdgeplay: A Film About the Runaways by former Runways bassist Victory Tischler-Blue (2004) aka “Vicky Blue.”Be sure to follow us on social media.

It’s hard to believe today, but there once was a glass ceiling in Rock 'n Roll.  That is, before the teenage members of the Runaways in the mid 70’s released four albums for a major label, toured the world and broke down barriers that would open the way for girl bands and female rockers to follow.Their rise and fall is documented by Evelyn McDonnell in her new book Queens of Noise: The Real Story of the Runaways.
