With the Jerry Lee scandal, it wasn’t so much about fandom as about DJs “cancelling” him, and there had to be a reason that was talked about on the school bus, and our parents disapproving of continuing to play his 45 records in the basement!
Just trust me, I know my mother. She has no clue half the time of what was going on. She was “naive” and innocent. And wasn’t paying that much attention that she would notice if it was on or not. As it was, I still have her “Whole Lotta” record along with many others. So they all had plenty of records to play. And mostly, she was in Frederick going to school.
