I don't think it's strange at all. His music is brilliant. The problem is where do you draw the line in this 'shock-horror-offended' society we live in? Should students be banned from reading Nabokov's Lolita because the age of consent and ideas about what's acceptable have changed?

After that, why stop at sexual abuse? What about mental and physical abuse? Is forcing young boys to play rugby in the pouring rain when they hate rugby considered abuse?

If so, anyone know how to get an 80-year old ex-PE teacher extradited to the Haag for trial? :-)

It certainly was by one of the kids I coach, who, leaving the stands to go on as a substitute on a particularly wet day shouted "This isn't rugby, it's child abuse!"
