That’s a great story! From: owner- the dark
side of country music is the most terrifying music there is--rock and roll
darkness pales in comparison-- i saw a
jerry lee lewis show in boston--at the channel club--a huge crowd turned out
all expecting to see the rock and roller jerry lee--great balls of fire!--all
the trendy types were there too- jerry lee
came out on stage--i was right at its lip--and sat down-he had the meanest
looking band i ever saw--and a woman with them who looked as if guarding the
gates of hell- the crowd
was beserk screaming for rock and rol songs jerry lee
sat down looked around and launched into "no headstone for my
grave"--and from there on in the whole night he played nothing but the
grimmest darkes country songs he knew-- i was so
near and one of only people actually wildly thriled by these songs--he kept
strecthing a booted foot towards me slowly inch by inch--until i could touch
it--then he gave me one of those patented rolls of his tongue--and making his
snakes sounds--hissing--his tongue protruding and crurling up--staring at the
crowd with aboslute rebellion in his eyes--take this!-- well he
is the man who when john lennon kneeled to kiss his foot--kicked him nthe
face!--and when elvis was holed up in Graceland for ever--Jerry lee drove up on
the lawn, smashing his way in--and got out of car--with a shotgun screaming
"i have come to liberate --or assasinate! come out come out!"--of
course the police were called- from the very old country ballads going back hundreds
of years to the later ones--true terror--madness-it took generation unto
generation to produce jerry Lee after all!-and he isn't the last one by far--
