Where have all the music idols gone? Not the aspiring "Idols" on FOX every week, but the established superstars of music--what is happening to them? It seems that increasingly they are turning away from life on the road and towards underage children's bedrooms or to dark places on the Internet. Their transition from the music scene to the court of public opinion has left some gaps that people are having dificulty filling.

A musician who may know what some of these superstars are feeling, Gary Glitter, has composed a song to help the Legal Defense Fund of his fellow musicians.

Cultureshark presents the lyrics to the tune (which is based on Dion's "Abraham, Martin, and John"). In coming days we expect to hear an official announcement that a music video, to be directed by Roman Polanski, will debut simultaneously on MTV, BET, VH-1, and Nickolodeon.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Cultureshark is running these lyrics for their news value and not because we endorse any illegal activity these artists may have engaged in.We also don't condone:

    That Lifehouse project
    The song "Rough Boys"
    Baby dangling
    Sham marriages to dermatologists
    Urinating for recreational purposes
    Space Jam
    Any ill-fated duet album with Jay-Z
    The incessant playing of "Rock and Roll" at every damn sporting event for the last 20 years

Pete, Jacko, and R

Has anybody here,
Seen my old friend Pete,
Can you tell me, where he's gone?
He smashed a lot of guitars,
But it seems the good like 'em young,
I just looked around,
And he's gone...

Has anybody here
Seen my old friend Jacko?
Can you tell me, where he's gone?
He walked a lot of moonwalks,
But it seems the good like 'em young,
I just looked around,
And he's gone...

Has anybody here
Seen my old friend R?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He took a lot of showers,
But it seems the good like 'em young
I just looked around,
And he's gone...

Didn't you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they love the kids they looked for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
Didn't they give good day care for you and me?
Will they be free?
Someday soon they're gonna find their own age

Has anybody here
Seen my old friend Pee Wee?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him climbin' on a bunk inside a celll,
With Pete, Jacko, and R.
