Turn On Your Love Light - Jerry Lee Lewis

January 1972. The Killer rocks the El Capitan Supper Club in Memphis. The crowd chatter. The Killer jerks a cigarette from an audience member's mouth and threatens to stick it in her eye. He then recommences the Devil's boogie.

September 1973 and 19 year-old Jerry Lee Lewis Jr. dies in a car accident. The Killer flies from Memphis to Ferriday in his private jet. The wife of his producer thinks the plane is evil because of Jerry Lee. On approach to land, a big black buzzard crashes straight through the glass into the cockpit.

September 1976 and the Killer pulls out a .357-calibre Magnum and points it at his bass player, Norman "Butch" Owens. The Killer tries to shoot a Coca-Cola bottle from the table. Owens clutches the two bleeding holes in his chest and stumbles onto the porch...

The Killer is charged with firing a gun inside city limits, a misdemeanor.

Don't Let Me Cross Over - Jerry Lee Lewis & Linda Gail Lewis

Febuary 1979. Federal Agents descend on the Killer's Memphis ranch to take his possessions in lieu of tax payments. As the agents tow away his five motorcycles, two Lincoln Continentals, a Corvette Stingray, a Ford sedan, a Rolls Royce, a black-and-gold Cadillac, a jeep and a tractor, Jerry Lee throws a hand-full of bullets at them... "Next time they'll be comin' 'atcha much faster."

A dozen miles away, on an airport runway, the Killer's private DC3 and Corvair Turbojet stand burning and gutted. He'd torched them the night before.

May 1980 and Jaren Pate, the Killer's fourth wife, takes him to court, accusing him of threatening her life. A year later she accidently drowns in a swimming pool. April 1982 and the Killer marries Shaw Kleinhans. Three months later she dies of a drugs overdose.

He then recommences the Devil's boogie.

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.
