That's it. That's the post. I can't stop making the connection to those songs.

I am not even that big of a fan of the Beatles (especially not John Lennon and his domestic violence enjoying) but as far as I know they didn't actually creep on any of their many, many teenage fans. Maybe I'm wrong there but it made me hope there was like one band I could remember the name of from the "classic rock" era that didn't have creeps in it.
The Beatles were too busy going after each others wives to chase teenagers.
I thought about it for a few minutes, and the only band i could think of from that era that might not be full creeps was Blue Oyster Cult, but that's because I know basically nothing about the band member's private lives.
You could point to the lyrics "Well she was just 17, you know what I mean" by the Beatles but I think McCartney was fresh 20 when he wrote that about his high school girlfriend as their first single off their first album so they weren't that famous.
The closest I've heard to any of the Beatles being creeps is George Harrison "joking" about buying his friend's 15 year old daughter when he was well into his 30s. Not sure why you'd joke about something like that.
Why indeed.
Tbf they get their money for nothing and their chicks for free
