Same....Pat Penatar has probably been told via social media her song seems to be promoting domestic violence. She responded sure....but it's taken her exactly 42 years to stop singing it.
It's an interesting example of how implicit bias works. An important aspect of bias is where the issue does not impact on the person they simply pay no mind to how it impacts other people. To be fair to all three musicians they grew up at a time before social media and their management are trying to retcon their image in hindsight to avoid bad publicity.
