The dark side of Chuck Berry is that he banged so many women he has to look for his "summer*" children?

That's not dark, give that man a medal!


By summer children I mean "summer here and summer there

you can take a man out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of him...

Article says nothing about illegitimate children.
 
2006-06-22 04:17:02 PM
This is surprising from someone who invited you to play with his ding-a-ling?

Celebrity anecdote:

Chuck Berry's Potty Cam

Chuck Berry once opened a restaurant called the Southern Air in Missouri. According to a former waitress, Berry wired the women's lavatory with a video camera and recorded some 200 unsuspecting patrons using the toilet, among them three minors.

Though the state attorney general intervened, charges were dropped when Berry agreed to compensate the victims of his "potty cam" financially.

Berry's brush with the law, however, did not stop him from making underground videos, some of which found a wide circulation. One notorious clip showed Berry relieving himself on a young woman. When she asked Berry to kiss her, he refused. "You," he explained, "smell like piss."

I use to work with a woman who was on the Chuck Berry Jury for the lawsuit over the cameras in the women's restroom at his diner.

She said she heard stuff and saw videos admitted to evidence that were the sickest things she ever saw and heard. And this gal was into some sick stuff herself.

Won't you play with my ding-a-ling.
 
2006-06-22 04:17:47 PM
So, I guess he wasn't just playing with his "ding-a-ling", now was he?

If "Dark Side of Chuck Berry" was his Pink Floyd cover album, "Money" would be the only song on it.

Way to completely make up a headline, submitter.

It is sad, but I can't fault him for wanting to get paid for his efforts.

Chuck Berry is watching you poop.
 
2006-06-22 04:19:38 PM
He sure isn't the benevolent rock-n-roller I always assumed he was...Sounds like a total a$$.
 
2006-06-22 04:19:43 PM
He must of had a lot of sex with the contestants on that Gong show...

/obscure movie reference joke
//can't think of movie
 
2006-06-22 04:20:26 PM

There was a great article about the incident in Spy magazine in the early 90s, titled "Johnny Be Sick".

It's too bad that mag mostly predated the Web boom. I have lots of back issues, but it would be so much easier at times like this if I could just call them up online and link them.

Obviously, Bush and his cronies are behind this one.

The father of punk rock.

Discuss.

It's a secret that Chuck Berry is a total asshat?

I saw him at a festival once and he totally phoned it in, making up lyrics as he went along -- an interesting version of "Maybeline" mostly dealing with forced sodomy.

That documentary is hilarious, though. I remember he busts Keith Richards rocks the whole time. Nothing like when your childhood idol rubs dirt in your face for fun.

He's probably still not in the top 10 most unpleasant musicians of all time, though. I'd like to see him and Johnny Rotten locked in a hotel room for a few hours!
 
2006-06-22 04:26:44 PM
This movie rocks.
 
2006-06-22 04:28:37 PM
for those of you ho didn't RTFA, the damn article is about a movie!
 
2006-06-22 04:28:45 PM
so....I RTFA....and this artsy producer and his uppity handlers they have assigned to...handle....Mr. Berry are biatching about him always wanting money from them....and this is supposed to be a BAD thing? THIS makes him a 'bad' man?

Are you effing kidding me? The RIA is hauling Ritalin gulping prepubescents into court for downloading music from friends...and this guy is the bad guy for demanding money in advance, even if he wants it in plain brown paper bags?

This guy is a HERO. He knows what slime the record companies are....I'm sure he learned it ages ago. He does his show, he gets on a plan, he goes home. And, he gets him money IN ADVANCE.

In ANY other business transaction on the face of the PLANET this would be called making sound business decisions and driving a hard bargain. But, because it's THIS guy he's labeled a pain in the ass?

methinks subby was thinking of Screaming Jay Hawkins. Who puts Shawn Kemp to shame with an estimated 75 children (There used to be a site online called jayskids.com where everybody who suspected he was their father could meet.)

And according to wikipedia, Bea Arthur was among his many mistresses

Screamin' Jay Hawkins on Bea Arthur. Good lord, I'm in big trouble if I have to stand up for anything right now.

Chuck Berry may have to search for his illegitimate children here and there, but Chuck Norris doesn't have to. He's surrounded by them everywhere he goes.
 
2006-06-22 04:36:31 PM
I don't know who Chuck Berry is... may have heard the name, though.
 
2006-06-22 04:37:02 PM
That's when he's not surfing for kiddie pr0n.

I seem to recall him getting busted for that years ago. He was scheduled to perform at Knott's Berry Farm one night I was working there and--GASP!--he didn't make it.
 
2006-06-22 04:38:28 PM
Oh yeah.

Farking pederast.

Chuck Barry can regularly be seen playing the dollar slots at Harrah's St. Louis. I have seen him on 2 occassions and the dealers say he is there four or five days a week...
 
2006-06-22 04:41:12 PM
pfft. that's easy, you want a challenge? try searching for fb-'s illegitimate children.
 
2006-06-22 04:41:44 PM
Won't somebody please think of the children?

...besides Chuck Berry, that is.

/he should be on the $10 bill
 
2006-06-22 04:42:43 PM
This is going to ruin his career.
