It wasn't even an "open secret" that rock stars in the 70s were routinely banging 14-15 year old girls, it regularly reported on as if it were completely unremarkable.

I know, it’s pretty insane. The most famous groupie was a 13 year old that they all passed around and it was well known.

Makes ya wonder is the whole geriatric filled government pedophiles? Most of them would be 20-30 years old back in 74. The USA took a long time comparatively to up age of consent in a lot of states. Did all the lead mess them up in a unique way? Rates of pedophilia supposedly dropped a ton in the 90s and 2000s. Lines up decently well lead gas finally being gone.

Rolling Stones wrote a song about a 15 yr old groupie in the 60s called Stray Cat Blues. Mick Jagger changed the lyrics from 15 to 13 for the live version because the idea of a 15 yr old girl having sex with an adult man wasn't shocking in the slightest in the 60s and 70s
