    RIP to The Killer. Not sure why but I thought he’d passed away a long time ago.

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    Now...
    The Killer.
    The Killer lived the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
    He made guys like Lou Reed, David Crosby, Keith Richard(s), and... I dunno, fill in your other favorites*... look like choirboys.

    I wonder if the statute of limitations has expired for entrance into the Pearly Gates... The man did some insane crap back in the day that would get the rest of us locked up and buried under the jail. 15 will get you 30...

    Indeed you are correct. A great musician but a complete and total failure as a decent human being.

    He had a couple of cousins that were big in the their own right:
    Mickey Gilley and Jimmy (Lee) Swggart.

    Jerry and Jimmy both got their middle name from some famous Southern military guy.

    Same for Mickey Gilley except that his parents weren't real up on their military history so he got stuck with "Leroy".
    Close but,well, at least they tried. 👍

    Elton John, Ringo Starr, Dennis Quaid and other celebrities pay tribute to the late Jerry Lee Lewis:
    https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/elton-john-ringo-starr-dennis-quiad-other-celebrities-pay-tribute-late-jerry-lee-lewis

    Saw him in concert four times starting in 1985 or 1986 in Meridian, Miss.

    I've been reading his biography by Rick Bragg.
    He was wilder than most could imagine. He cheated death at least once a week almost his whole life.
