“When the executive called for the curtains to be opened, there at center stage stood Jerry Lee(Lewis), Chuck Berry, and Elmo Lewis. Chuck Berry was holding a knife to Jerry Lee’s throat, and Pappy Lewis had the open end of a shotgun pressed to the base of Berry’s skull. The audience uttered no sound.”
from Country, Nick Tosches

I’m sure Jerry Lee would be rolling over in his grave if he gave a shit. Also: I know he’s not dead yet.
