I think this was very...

... common among rock stars and their groupies - going back to Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry. It might have even been common way back with Frank Sinatra and Al Jolson. It's not like preying on 10-year-olds at the local park... but I'm not suggesting there's an "excuse" for the behavior. So you're in a big rock band and 15-year-olds are screaming for you... and, you're on some dandy Deadhead drugs... I can see how it happened... but, yeah, by age 30, you should have some decency. You should know it's not right.
