Disgusting excuse for a human Rolf Harris has made unnecessary and unwanted noise again from the depths of his jail cell, with the news that he is apparently working on a “revenge album” directed towards his accusers and the ones that are responsible for landing him in prison for a minimum of five years. You know, those women who were sexually abused by him back in the bad old days between 1968 and 1986 – one of which was as young as seven years old? Those ones. How dare they?
Said to be called Justice For All, UK tabloid The Sun reports Harris told his friends and family that he had been working on songs from his prison cell and even had some song titles prepared like Can’t Keep That Dingo Down and A Bird In The Hand (Is Worth Two In The Bush). A source told The Sun that “Making music is helping Rolf survive prison. But rather than keep his material to himself, he’s telling those around him he has every intention of releasing it.”
Now, The Sun isn’t exactly the beacon of journalistic integrity, and this “source” is yet to be named, but considering the fact that Harris has already come under fire just a few months ago from writing a different song about his victims titled Woodworm Women, there could be some credence in this. According to Pedestrian, these are some of that song’s lyrics:
“Climb up out of the woodwork babe
From forty years ago,
The climate’s great in Britain now,
For making lots of dough
You’ve festered down there long enough
Time’s right to grab your chance
Clap eyes on a rich celebrity
And make the bastard dance”
Prosecuting lawyer Liz Dux immediately called for the chance for parole to be revoked when that first came to light, saying, ““The point of parole is for people to show some sort of remorse and here is someone behaving as he was before, with disdain and an attitude that he can behave how he wants.” So it’s safe to say she is probably going to come down on him like a tonne of bricks when she hears that he is now sitting on an entire album’s worth of crazy and disgusting songs.
He’s apparently hoping to release the record at the end of the year when he thinks he’ll be freed, and is said to have “rockier influences than the music he’s known for, because he wants to get across his anger at what he sees as injustice,” according to a source.
Sorry, what? “Rockier influences”? “Injustice”?
The only injustice here is the chance that he may be released back into society after serving just four years and nine months. That’s just over a year PER VICTIM – and the effect his actions had on those girls is damn more than a year. Whoever this source is that is spilling this disgusting, and frankly terrifying news should probably advise ol’ crazy Rolf to maybe spend some of his time in jail thinking about what he’s done to at least four women when they were girls, instead of writing garbage to try and highlight the “injustice” of it all.
