For the second time this week (the first being a hoax) Jerry Lee Lewis has died. The rock 'n roll pioneer and rebel was 87.
It's that "rebel" label that sticks in my head when I think of Lewis. He was far too out there for '50's audiences, no question. And let's be real, some of his choices would get the same response from society today - deservedly so.
It's a shame he couldn't have traveled a smoother path, because I think all that bs cost him a career of unimaginable heights.
RIP
