They are actually a 'she', and as Mike mentioned; is focused on nothing more than trying to stir sh*t.Not sure what this OP is doing here, as his last topic was something like "List of Seattle air talent names who smoke crack" ( which was shut down by Frank) ; and before that, it was "What do air traffic reporters in small planes do if they have to go to the bathroom"?
Is he just stirring the pot in order to provoke a smackdown?
Looks as if he is an spamming outsider with a history of posting messages that have nothing to do with broadcasting.

Another one from the '70s was 'My Sharona' from the Knack:
"Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind"
At the time was a kitschy pop/rock song, but wouldn't be appropriate in modern times.
Yep. And the follow-up single was "Good Girls Don't (But I Do)" and the second album was called "...But the Little Girls Understand" .
It doesn't take Freud to figure this out.
And it took a minute to remember that Doug Fieger of the Knack wrote that about a real girl named Sharona, who was 17 at the time. According to a separate NPR piece, he told her he was in love with her when she was 16. He was ten years older than she was:

Back to Puckett: Possibly songwriters pitched songs with "forbidden love" themes to him after the success of "Young Girl." Not only was "This Girl is a Woman Now" similarly themed, but one of Gary's last Top 40 hits saw him return to offering helpful advice to the precociously hot in "Don't Give In to Him." (A song I remember mostly for his trying to stretch out a short "i" and producing a bad Spanish accent instead: "Don't geev een to heeeeeem....")
I mean, there's Elvis and Priscilla (he was 24, she was 14), but at least Elvis didn't write a graphic song about it.
How old were Sam Cooke and Ringo Starr when the object of their desires was "Only Sixteen"?And it took a minute to remember that Doug Fieger of the Knack wrote that about a real girl named Sharona, who was 17 at the time.

Their hit streak happened when record label A&R (Artist & Repertoire) departments still called a lot of the shots for artists that did not write most of their own material. Jerry Fuller, who produced Puckett, wrote "Young Girl".
Key exculpatory lyric:
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
Oops!
Ringo's song was the old Johnny Burnette song "You're Sixteen", which doesn't delve into the singer's age.
Best back announce on that I ever heard was Clark Anthony on KFMB: "You're sixteen, you're beautiful and anything else I won't admit to."

Nobody's mentioned Benny Mardones' icky "Into the Night" yet, so I'll get that unpleasant piece of business out of the way now. Girl in that ditty was 16.
Double oops. Ringo changed Burnette's "into my arms" to "into my car," too. So, unless, the singer had a learner's permit and not a full license .... naughty, naughty!
Still, just as cringeworthy today.
And as a side note to that---Johnny Burnette was 24 when "You're Sixteen" was a hit.
But there were a whole lotta "Sixteen" things going on then---"Sixteen Candles" by the Crests (1958)...Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" (1958), "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen" by Neil Sedaka (1961).
American pop culture at the time was kinda built around dating and falling in love at sixteen, but remaining a virgin until marriage (usually no later than 20).
So those early songs were more about trying to appeal to teen listeners than confessions of inappropriate lust.

I cited that as evidence of it being VERY cringeworthy, Kelly. 26 year old guys obsessed with 16 year olds and writing about their effect on erectile function a year later---that's not good at all. Wasn't then, isn't now.
And he was 34 when he wrote that one.
I think we've established that there's a difference between the early stuff and the later stuff. Or maybe not---The Coasters' "Young Blood" was 1957 (they don't give the narrator's age, but how many boys would use the term "Young Blood"?)
What we're missing is where it jumped the track and became explicitly about grown men and young girls. Rod Stewart's "Hot Legs" was a year before "My Sharona".
Well, wait a second...learner's permit at fifteen and a half. Full driver license at sixteen.
I mean, Ringo was 34 by the time he recorded it, but that was just cashing in on a full-blown nostalgia craze at the time.
Of course, there's a double standard when the minor is male. Then the song becomes a nostalgic "coming of age" piece, like the movie "Summer of '42." (Was Jennifer O'Neill the "older woman" of my dreams when I was 15? Guilty!) Examples: "Summer (The First Time)" -- Bobby Goldsboro, and "That Summer" -- Garth Brooks.
Equally cringeworthy. Underage is underage. Predatory behavior is predatory behavior.
In real life, women get arrested for it, too---though there is a considerable sentencing disparity in a lot of those cases.
