The sad truth is that it was a very common practice. Just wait until they hear about Jerry Lee Lewis.

And the Grateful Dead (sure Bob, you waited while she slept outside your room every night for 3 years), Chuck Berry, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, and about a hundred other groups. Hell, Kiss had the Christine Sixteen song, Jethro Tull had Aqualung, Seventeen by Winger, Into the Night by Benny Mardones, and a bunch of other songs have super uncomfortable lyrics about girls.
That’s not even getting into well known shit bags like Nugent.

Those fucks would talk parents into giving them “Guardianship” over their teenage daughters so they wouldn’t be arrested for kidnapping and child molestation.

I’m pretty sure fathers cared. Shotgun and shovel levels of caring.

At least one of the fathers openly endorsed it. I don’t think fathers cared as much about it as you think.

Most people weren’t even aware of it.
The general public knowing every little detail about a celebrity’s life simply wasn’t a thing then.

People wrote songs about it. Famous songs that you know the words to. People knew, they just didn’t care.
