Because no one cared about that 60 years ago
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.
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.
Jethro Tull doesn't romanticize Aqualung (the old man that sits on a park bench and eyes little girls with bad intents). Quite the contrary actually.
That's a really good point. I'm leaving it for now so your reply makes sense but I'll remove it next time I make that list (which happens too often).
Yuuuuuup it's a long line of assholes in rock and roll.
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.
