It's not true, but it's a rumour that's floated around for years. Irony is often humourous, but there's a certain undercurrent in society that seems to delight in kicking cherished childhood icons from atop their pillars. As if growing up and learning about the actual realities of adulthood wasn't disconcerting enough. :/

I've never heard of that rumor before LOL. Wow...
-
Oh yuck. I certainly hope not.
-
I haven't heard that. I doubt it.
-
Thats the stupidest rumor that i have heard. :p
-
From the Shel Silverstein song "Get my rocks off", as performed by Dr Hook: "Sometimes I dream of chicks to bring me everlasting joys sometimes I dream of animals sometimes I dream of boys" I'ver heard this rumor heaps, maybe this song kicked it all off?

If your a man, once your name is associated with children this is bound to happen.

No, but he wrote a song called "Scum of the Earth" which has these lines: "And the road man's name was Lester He was a well-known child molester His minister told him he'd never go to heaven He wore a bright red toupée And had lots of groupées But they ranged in age from fourteen to eleven" That might have started the rumour.

No but he was mentally ill and thought of weird things.

No idea if Shel Slverstein was any kind of molester, let alone Heaven forbid a child molester. I only know he wrote one of my favorite Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue" Brings back sentimental memories of my late hubby singing it to me.

i have no idea, i dont even know who he is

No, she arranges flowers in a flower shop.

No he's not but it's disgusting when jerks like you attempt to make "suggestions" to damage someone's reputation. Even someone who has passed.
-
No and I think its time to avoid this person. sounds like a sick gossip monger.
