Is there any other early rocker with a crazier reputation then Jerry? I sure don't know. Depicted as a piano-playing wild man with an undying hunger for living has become the fodder for countless biographies and documentaries. Posted by Andrew on Friday, 05/31/2013 @ 12:09pm |
Jerry Lee Lewis is the original madman of rock n' roll, embodying the music's most high spirited and dangerous impulses. Is there any other 50s rock star with a crazier reputation then Jerry? I sure don't know any. Posted by Andrew on Monday, 03/3/2014 @ 23:42pm |
Jerry Lee Lewis was found alive at his Mississippi Ranch today. He is 83. Posted by Classic Rock on Friday, 11/2/2018 @ 11:36am |
I saw him at Riotfest back in Sep. Had a fine backing band. They played 4 songs before Mr. Lewis came out. He walked out with a cane & wearing a purple sequined sportcoat. Sat down at the piano & took of the jacket, gave it to a minion, and then untucked his shirt, rolled up his sleeves & got to work. Posted by Paul in KY on Saturday, 11/3/2018 @ 21:58pm |
Wow. I guess he's now the last remaining performer of the inaugural class. Posted by Joe on Saturday, 05/9/2020 @ 13:39pm |

Thought he was too mean to die! Sure glad I saw him at that Riotfest. Could play the absolute shit out of the piano. Posted by Paul in KY on Friday, 10/28/2022 @ 14:27pm |
There should be a "Memoriam Performance" for artists like Jerry Lee Lewis who are featured by a live performance at the Induction Ceremony - in 2022, it was Jerry Lee Lewis, and the song was "Great Balls of Fire," performed by Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp.
