Trade ; Rent ; Drugs -- Afterword : Reunion Summary:  "What happened to the Bay City Rollers is one of the greatest scandals of the music industry. The dark truth behind "Rollermania," which gripped the UK in the 1970s and spread around the world as the Edinburgh boy band scored number one hits. Band manager Tom Paton controlled his charges and promoted them as wholesome teen idols while subjecting them to various forms of sexual abuse. In Paton, the industry cliché of the manipulative and venal pop manager found its most grotesque expression. Dazzled by sudden global fame and corrupted by Paton's unquenchable sexual appetites, the Bay City Rollers soon became part of his world of depravity, victimhood, crime and psychosis. Band members became hooked on drugs, and their fall was almost as rapid as their rise, leaving them penniless and emotionally destroyed. Three years after they fired Paton, in 1979, he was finally convicted of gross indecency with teenage boys. A brutal reminder that conspiracies of silence about sexual exploitation were once the norm in the music and entertainment business. Simon Spence is the author of the biography The Stone Roses: War and Peace and Happy Mondays: Excess All Areas"--Provided by publisher.
