Jerry Lee Lewis - RIP 😔


Aged 87

reply

He comes from a generation of rockers--I would include Little Richard--that is just before my time and I was never attached to. I like Elvis, but even there it is not the same as say, Beatles forward. But I certainly acknowledge his place in music history.

RIP

RIP Jerry Lee

reply

I'm disgusted by how he was married to his 13-year-old cousin. 😒
But he was one of the last legends of his era (if he wasn't the last), so RIP.

He may have had so many flaws and problems in his life, but he was a legend and helped shape Rock and Roll music. He was also the last living inductee of the first class of the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.

R.I.P. Jerry.

RIP. The wonders of modern medicine.

reply

Ever seen him live?

reply

I didn’t know he was still alive until he just recently no longer was!

reply

I knew he was alive because I saw his ad in the classifieds asking for his underage cousin to return home.

reply

she must be at least 30 years of age by now.

reply

What makes you think it was only one cousin?

reply

SAME!

reply

He is a legend but his personal life was such a mess I am happy too have forgotten it.

reply

No.

reply

Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley were his cousins.

reply

Why didn't he marry them?

reply

Not his type.

reply

You're right. They're both above age of consent.

reply

swaggart was a great gospel singer.

reply

He is from the same area I am and he was mega big here before his prostitution scandal. I still see his vinyl records in local stores here.
