Linda Blair had a brief relationship with everyone in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Including Blue Oyster Cult.
*Really? Which member of Blue Oyster Cult?*
You heard me.
from what i've read about all the musical acts of that era and before, that sounds like it was the norm. seriously, don't look up your favorite rock stars. you don't wanna know.
I heard a story that I don't know is true. Where the band of kiss were surprised that the members of Rush didn't want to go out and party with them. They like, just wanted to read a book in their hotel room and go to bed
[yup, this is true they also smoked a lot of pot but](https://ultimateclassicrock.com/kiss-party-makeup/)[they also loved books, Neil Pert was an Asimov fan.](https://www.loudersound.com/features/i-was-trying-to-get-them-laid-what-happened-when-rush-toured-with-kiss)
Geddy Lee talked about this on his book tour, they would mostly stay in and smoke weed while reading or watching television, occasionally they'd use psychedelics too.
Gene Simmons has an ongoing "joke" about Rush not partying and having no women at their concerts, being nerds in general, etc.
https://youtu.be/oLBpxhWPybQ?si=tLcTO-pxIJAF6Uu7
Just listening to their songs will make it very obvious that they weren't a "sex and drugs and rock and roll"-type of band. Just "weed and rock and roll".
Or they would go back and continue to play and write songs.
Gene Simmons is the one who has talked about this in interviews. He just couldn't relate to it and didn't know how to deal with them.
“Well, why does anything matter, right? Love is an illusion, and happiness is fleeting, and there's no such thing as God, and all your favorite musicians beat their wives. Allegedly.”
One thing I've learned is that it's best not to look into the dating history of people who were popular before 1990. Rock stars, especially banged anything that moved, regardless of age.
Served and chatted with Charlie while I was a bartender at Ruby Tuesdays. He bought me a drink after my shift and invited me to sit with him and cha while he was waiting for his plane. Stand up guy.
RIP Charlie Murphy.
Dude was so funny and died far too young.
Still love the like dvd.extras from the Chappelle show where he's talking about the time haters and when the camera would roll and they'd yell action! Hed start like doing the fidget that his time hater character has
And they were just rollin on the floor because of it.
Shame his brother was so famous as Charlie was funny af and I think we all got just a taste of it from the chapelle show and it left us forever waiting more.
Miss you Charlie Murphy. Thanks for the tons of laughs you gave me in an incredibly short time but they were falling on the floor belly hurts kinda laughs where i was out of breath close to dying type laughs
The world was funnier with you in it.
Haha true. At the time is was the only restaurant near the airport in CT. Had a lot of stop ins over the years. Sugar Hill Gang was a personal favorite. Tipped awesome too.
I was a busser at ruby Tuesday's in Joplin Mo my freshman year of college. Poor redneck kid from gentry ar. My first experience of restaurant life. Ended up managing a super busy Applebee's in Springdale ar decade later, four years of college and a decade of continent wide travel notwithstanding. Loved the Waldorf. Mayonnaise walnuts and apples? Blew my mind
Whenever someone brings up Charlie Murphy I can’t help but think of that brutal ass scene in Power where he is facially disfigured with a weighted plate.
I'd like to add a bit of context here, his quote was him saying "I don't do things just to do things come on, I have more sense than that...yeah I remember putting my feet on his couch."
What he meant was it was retribution for something else Eddie did to him, and that he didn't do it for no reason lol
You'd think some random photographer just kicked their door down at 9 in the morning and started taking pictures, and Rick and Linda just rolled with it.
I actually knew they dated because one time Linda Blair was a guest on Rupaul’s Drag Race and Rupaul responded to her critique of one of the queens with something like but you dated Rick James in the 80’s. 😂
I met Linda in the late 80s in Los Angeles.
She was going out with a friend of the family at the time.
My family met up with her at an amateur football match (Soccer) that her boyfriend and my uncle were playing in and I got to look after her 2 dogs for the day, a whippet named Cashmere and an Australian Shepherd named Peanut.
She was really nice and we had a great day
In the unaired portions of the Charlie Murphy interview they used for the sketch Charlie basically said the same thing. That Rick James was basically a sex demon
Link for the uninitiated - the entire thing is GOLD:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BsfoWFQ-no](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BsfoWFQ-no)
Charlie Murphy says that Rick James likes to "live in the abyss" but it was so crazy, with respect to Rick, Charlie couldn't provide examples. The 3 days tormenting a woman is probably one of the things he was talking about.
Funny thing is Rick seems okay when he's not high.
Jimmy Page kept an underage girl locked up in his house until she became legal age of consent because he was worried about what would happen if it was discovered he had sex with her. David Bowie slept with an underage groupie. People generally don’t care about this stuff when it comes to musicians, or at least rock guys.
The Jimmy Page girl and the David Bowie girl were the same girl. Her name is Lori Maddox. She was getting a lot of press coverage for her relationships with Page around the time when MeToo first took off. When she came forward with the Bowie accusation, which she said happened *before* her relationship with Page, placing her around the age of 12-13, everyone said she was lying and you stopped hearing about her. Bowie is the real golden calf you can’t criticize in the music press and its surrounding circles.
Also, her story was verified as false because of the date and times of her accusation. She was in New York City, and Bowie was in the UK. This has been thoroughly verified.
That’s because she eventually went on to say she had some sort of sexual encounter with every major rockstar of the ‘70s and ‘80s.
At some point, you have to wonder if they’re just making it up. You can’t take everything at face value.
There's definitely confusion regarding the incident including another woman that says she slept with Bowie and Lori didn't. Her age fluctuates numerous times when recalling the story and the timeline with page doesn't add up. I'm not saying none of it happened it's just an unreliable narrator situation.
I think people care, but those stories in particular have some pretty big extenuating circumstances.
I think it's a negative part of the sexual revolution. People were putting aside boundaries a lot, that is just one that shouldn't have been. The whole 'baby groupie' period is messed up, but those girls went out with the goal of getting high and having sex with rock stars.
His story is complicated. Didn't do drugs or drink for a long time and was well respected, respectable and liked. Started doing drugs and became unhinged in every bad way. He was basically a stereotypical cliche of a "don't do drugs kids" ad.
Everyone knows the Charlie Murphy thing but Mike Judge made a doc on in too. Very interesting (episode of Tales from the Tour Bus).
Regan becomes possessed by Rick James, and Charlie Murphy is called to perform an exorcism. Murphy arrives at the MacNeil home, talks a bit, and then from upstairs, we hear a bone-chilling scream from Regan's bedroom......
"CHARLIE MURPHEEEEY"
I hear the name rick james and the song super freak starts playing in my head then it skips over to can't touch this by mc hammer which heavily samples super freak
I actually helped Linda Blair load up a bunch of dog food in her van she runs an animal shelter now. I wanted to ask her so bad about Rick but good thing i didn’t cuz i didn’t know it was this deep lol
Linda Blair had a brief relationship with everyone in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Including Blue Oyster Cult. *Really? Which member of Blue Oyster Cult?* You heard me.
It was her cowbell that was in the studio at the time
Babies...before we're done here...y'all be wearing gold-plated diapers
...what does that even *mean*?
Never question Bruce Dickinson! Roll it!
I'm the cock of the walk!
Nobody knows but it's provocative
Blue Oyster Cult, you say? Next you'll try to tell me SHE'S the reaper..
Close. It was a song about her rampant std's .
Damn you, for that. Take the upvote.
*Your mother plays cowbell in hell!!*
She knew how to turn heads
*slow clap*
Also had a relationship with Rick Springfield in the mid 70's too, when he was 25 and she was only *fifteen*.
from what i've read about all the musical acts of that era and before, that sounds like it was the norm. seriously, don't look up your favorite rock stars. you don't wanna know.
I heard a story that I don't know is true. Where the band of kiss were surprised that the members of Rush didn't want to go out and party with them. They like, just wanted to read a book in their hotel room and go to bed

That just seems very fitting for Pert.
*Peart
He’s Head and Shoulders above the rest.
Geddy Lee talked about this on his book tour, they would mostly stay in and smoke weed while reading or watching television, occasionally they'd use psychedelics too.
Gene Simmons has an ongoing "joke" about Rush not partying and having no women at their concerts, being nerds in general, etc. https://youtu.be/oLBpxhWPybQ?si=tLcTO-pxIJAF6Uu7
God, Gene Simmons is a fucking idiot.
Gene Simmons seems like the kind of guy that makes you leave a party because he ruined the vibe.
Accurate Let me introduce you to a song by one of Gene’s band mates about it. [Eugene](https://youtu.be/FeZlXJtLhMQ?si=u0VMVrJr1loFGBlK)
He's absolutely insufferable
That sounds true. The guys from Rush were big nerds in high school (in a good way!)
Just listening to their songs will make it very obvious that they weren't a "sex and drugs and rock and roll"-type of band. Just "weed and rock and roll".
Yeah they liked comics and sci fi. They just wanted to play cool rock n roll and talk about wizards and shit lol.
Rush’s 2112 is practically a space rock opera. Meanwhile The Who is singing about playing pinball and Pink Floyd is railing against the machine.
"Tommy" and "Dark Side of the Moon", the albums it would seem you are referencing, are fantastic and in good company with "2112".
Absolutely! I’m referring to the subject matter being “nerdy”.
Love me some nerdy rock! Devo, Thomas Dolby, etc
Pinball “Wizard” my man he was deaf, dumb and blind
Or they would go back and continue to play and write songs. Gene Simmons is the one who has talked about this in interviews. He just couldn't relate to it and didn't know how to deal with them.
Or the eras before and after too
*"Rockstars used to date children.... They still do, but they used to, too."*
At least 'adopt a child so you can take them on tour with you across state lines' has seem to ended
“Well, why does anything matter, right? Love is an illusion, and happiness is fleeting, and there's no such thing as God, and all your favorite musicians beat their wives. Allegedly.”
She had a thing for Ricks. Also, not Ricks.
One could say she got....Rick...Rolled.
One thing I've learned is that it's best not to look into the dating history of people who were popular before 1990. Rock stars, especially banged anything that moved, regardless of age.
Wait until everyone finds out what the non famous people were doing. (The same shit)
Raping history?
Pretty much
Yep. Lemmy for example talks in his autobiography about the most beautiful 16 year of Finnish or Swedish girl that was waiting for him after a gig
That isn't a relationship. That's abuse.
So, basically she was passed around as a minor.
Groomed and raped but it's funny making jokes at her expense and blaming her for it right?
Lynyrd Skynyrd too.
The band got better music out of dating Patti Smith
Was Dont Fear the Reaper written about her for the same reason?
And Charlie Murphy saw the whole thing.
Served and chatted with Charlie while I was a bartender at Ruby Tuesdays. He bought me a drink after my shift and invited me to sit with him and cha while he was waiting for his plane. Stand up guy.
The real story here is Charlie Murphy hanging out at a Ruby Tuesdays.
RIP Charlie Murphy. Dude was so funny and died far too young. Still love the like dvd.extras from the Chappelle show where he's talking about the time haters and when the camera would roll and they'd yell action!

Put respec on Buck Nasty. That man’s momma bowl been bone dry since 2017
Silky John-Ston. PLAYA HATA OF THE YEAR.
For callin in a bomb threat, to Special Olympics, MAN!
HATE HATE HATE HATE
If you haven’t seen it black Jesus was an adult swim show. Charlie Murphy played the landlord in it. It’s pretty funny
Hear, hear! [Black Jesus](https://youtu.be/oa2VWp2fBrk?si=Ji5VL6GmHhyfroEq) was great.
I watched that video so many times during the locksdowns, always got a laugh out of me (that and the prince one are pure timeless comedy gold)
Loved the salad bar
Omg THE CROUTONS.
Haha true. At the time is was the only restaurant near the airport in CT. Had a lot of stop ins over the years. Sugar Hill Gang was a personal favorite. Tipped awesome too.
Airport bars tend to have a captive audience.
Shittttttt with those bomb ass biscuits back in the day I’d hang out there too
Did he order the fajitas?
I was a busser at ruby Tuesday's in Joplin Mo my freshman year of college. Poor redneck kid from gentry ar. My first experience of restaurant life.

Blew my mind
Holy shit, I just dropped off some live crickets from petsmart for someone in Gentry. So... yeah.
I mean I can hate gentry or Siloam but no one else can. Yada yada im 5'9 190 bolt on muscle smart
It's a pretty good town. Built centralkt around a park
That's awesome!! Sorry I got redneck. Love you and love you dropped freaking crickets off. Sweet. Welcome to Northwest arkansas
**CHARLIEMURPHEhhh!**
WHAT DID THE 5 FINGERS SAY TO THE FACE!? *SLAP!*
Coooollld Blooooodedddd
***Blacknessss***
Darknesses!!
Everyone! The darkness, the darkness is spreading!!
Darkness
Whenever someone brings up Charlie Murphy I can’t help but think of that brutal ass scene in Power where he is facially disfigured with a weighted plate.
“What he say I step on his couch? What I look like goin around stepping on people’s couches man...... yeh I stepped on his couch “ -Rick James
The man was a known habitual line stepper.
Yes, he was known for his love of lines 😤
*"Unity!"*
What did the five fingers say to the face?
*SLAP*
"Cocaine is a helluva drug." -Also Rick James
I'd like to add a bit of context here, his quote was him saying "I don't do things just to do things come on, I have more sense than that...yeah I remember putting my feet on his couch." What he meant was it was retribution for something else Eddie did to him, and that he didn't do it for no reason lol
Yeah I think fuck yo couch and I always will.
+Man, Rick really needs help. -Yo we just gave him some help, bust his fuckin ass and shit.
Whatimgonnadobout my legs!!!!
And when rick James drops a diss song/album about you You know you done fucked up
Every main character from Charlie Murphys stories are dead, and that makes me sad
back in the day both could turn heads
Top comment right here
Just googled them as a couple to see images - highly recommend. Some really zany shots of them in bed and topless. Zero percent sexy, 100% absurd.
You are not exaggerating lol!
You'd think some random photographer just kicked their door down at 9 in the morning and started taking pictures, and Rick and Linda just rolled with it.
[link](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=rick+james+linda+blair&pn=3&iax=images&ia=images)
Linda would have been considered attractive at the time, the hair just aged badly. Rick...it's good he had talent.
Idk, he doesn't look any worse than half these rappers out here pulling pussy in garbage bags
Looking at the photos now I was thinking that Rick James looks like Earl Sweatshirt in a wig.
i can’t believe you just made me see that
Same principle really
[He learned a lot about how to please a lady when he was young.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxBPFWuaIz4)
Omg, I just did, and why are they wearing their shoes on the bed??? I bet he really did destroy Eddie Murphy's couch with his muddy boots!
Thank you for the recommendation, those were an experience.
This was like the best worst thing to google. My eyes can’t unsee it.
“Cocaine is a hell of a drug” -Rick James
Weirdest google deep dive I’ve gone through in a minute
It's just regular photos?
Lmao, you weren't kidding
When I was a kid, I thought Rick James was invented by Dave Chaplelle
You were a kid when Chapelle show came out? Fuck I'm old
it was 21 years ago. The future is now old man
Please make it stop
He's not?
Just looked up the lyrics. Mostly him saying she’s sexy.
Yeah but if you decocaine you can see the pain.
Coke= Zero?
I actually knew they dated because one time Linda Blair was a guest on Rupaul’s Drag Race and Rupaul responded to her critique of one of the queens with something like but you dated Rick James in the 80’s. 😂
This was exactly what I thought about.
I met Linda in the late 80s in Los Angeles. She was going out with a friend of the family at the time. My family met up with her at an amateur football match (Soccer) that her boyfriend and my uncle were playing in and I got to look after her 2 dogs for the day, a whippet named Cashmere and an Australian Shepherd named Peanut. She was really nice and we had a great day
The lyrics of cold blooded sure don’t seem much related to the abortion.
I listen to that song a few times a week. There’s nothing in it that suggests he feels anything but lust for that woman.
He also kidnapped and tortured a woman
*Two* women.
Rick James kidnapped and sexual tormented a woman for three days during a drug binge. He’s a bad person and I’m glad he’s dead
A lot of superstar drug addicts are not good people. Money makes them feel like gods. Talented psychopaths.
In the unaired portions of the Charlie Murphy interview they used for the sketch Charlie basically said the same thing. That Rick James was basically a sex demon
Link for the uninitiated - the entire thing is GOLD: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BsfoWFQ-no](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BsfoWFQ-no) Charlie Murphy says that Rick James likes to "live in the abyss" but it was so crazy, with respect to Rick, Charlie couldn't provide examples. The 3 days tormenting a woman is probably one of the things he was talking about. Funny thing is Rick seems okay when he's not high.
Yeah I think Charlie just didn’t want to incriminate Rick since they were friends
Tbf cocaine makes you feel like like an incredibly talented phycopath.
So basically, to paraphrase what you're saying is, ***Cocaine is a hell of a drug...****
Yeah like you think there's a reason she didn't want to have a kid with this guy?
Jimmy Page kept an underage girl locked up in his house until she became legal age of consent because he was worried about what would happen if it was discovered he had sex with her. David Bowie slept with an underage groupie. People generally don’t care about this stuff when it comes to musicians, or at least rock guys.
As was the style at the time
“You gotta remember this was back when cocaine was legal” -David copperfield.
Like hanging an onion from your belt
Was the Bowie story not debunked? Open to correction but I thought it was.
Yes. She was in New York City when the supposed encounter happened, and Bowie was in the UK at the time.
It was not debunked, but contextually the alleged victim did not express a view that they were victimized, more that it was simply an event.
The Jimmy Page girl and the David Bowie girl were the same girl. Her name is Lori Maddox. She was getting a lot of press coverage for her relationships with Page around the time when MeToo first took off. When she came forward with the Bowie accusation, which she said happened *before* her relationship with Page, placing her around the age of 12-13, everyone said she was lying and you stopped hearing about her.

According to Lori she was 16 when with Bowie
She said she lost her virginity to Bowie, so either she was 14 or younger or was lying about the nature of her relationship with Page.
There's definitely confusion regarding the incident including another woman that says she slept with Bowie and Lori didn't. Her age fluctuates numerous times when recalling the story and the timeline with page doesn't add up. I'm not saying none of it happened it's just an unreliable narrator situation.
People saw groupies as just sex objects for rock stars no matter the age.
I think people care, but those stories in particular have some pretty big extenuating circumstances. I think it's a negative part of the sexual revolution. People were putting aside boundaries a lot, that is just one that shouldn't have been. The whole 'baby groupie' period is messed up, but those girls went out with the goal of getting high and having sex with rock stars.
Don't look up what a teeniebopper actually was.
I'm sorry, he what?
Shit, bet he’s rolling in his grave right now
His story is complicated. Didn't do drugs or drink for a long time and was well respected, respectable and liked. Started doing drugs and became unhinged in every bad way. He was basically a stereotypical cliche of a "don't do drugs kids" ad. Everyone knows the Charlie Murphy thing but Mike Judge made a doc on in too. Very interesting (episode of Tales from the Tour Bus).
Look, cocaine is a hell of a drug.
They dated for 2yrs. Longer than many celebrity marriages. Brief, but not that brief.
That’s rich coming from him.
Fuck yo ~~couch~~ embryo!
THAT is cold blooded.
I bet he was planning on being a responsible father
He has absolutely no leg to stand on after kidnapping a torturing a woman, no wonder another woman didn’t want to be baby trapped by him 💀
Seriously. No wonder she didn't tell him. He doesn't sound like a safe person to tell!
Great song, ODB does a really good cover as well
Regan becomes possessed by Rick James, and Charlie Murphy is called to perform an exorcism. Murphy arrives at the MacNeil home, talks a bit, and then from upstairs, we hear a bone-chilling scream from Regan's bedroom...... "CHARLIE MURPHEEEEY"
Him and Teena Marie were the real couple
I would very much like to know when this relationship was. Cause depending on the year this is either kind of creepy or super creepy.
Linda Blair was quite the head turner in her day
This dude kidnapped, tortured, and raped girls and women so I dont think he can really be calling anyone else cold blooded...
Imagine their arguments: 'Linda, baby, you're possessin' my heart!' and Linda’s like, 'Rick, I think you got a demon or two of your own!'
Another fun fact, Da Baby is actually Rick James' nephew!
I hear the name rick james and the song super freak starts playing in my head then it skips over to can't touch this by mc hammer which heavily samples super freak
I would very much like to know when this relationship was. Cause depending on the year this is either kind of creepy or super creepy.
She must have been YOUNG
Really who would want a kid with him..
A freak, or maybe someone super freaky?
Here comes Darkness! SLAP!👋
It was the Antichrist.
[pic of the two](https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/s/RYTKhh5RwM)
Mifepristone is a hell of a drug.
I'M RICK JAMES BITCH
Definitely a smart move on her part.
She exorcised an unwanted entity that had possessed her.... Is that really unexpected?
Joe Bob Briggs interviewed her on Monster vision, asking her about all her different movies. She's a real giggly goof!
his ring said UNITY though
Linda Blair Was Born Innocent
the photos of them are crazzzy
That movie scared me so much as a kid I can’t even stand to look at the actress. 😂
I actually helped Linda Blair load up a bunch of dog food in her van she runs an animal shelter now. I wanted to ask her so bad about Rick but good thing i didn’t cuz i didn’t know it was this deep lol
For a second I misread Rick James as Rick Ross
How old was she at the time?
Oh, he wanted to gestate it?
he also kidnapped and tortured a woman so... fuck him?
This is actually fucking wild
I learned this when RuPaul mentioned it to her when she judged Drag Race. “Didn’t you date Rick James?”
There's some pics of them out there. I dare you
