Jerry Lee Lewis

He contributed at least as much as Elvis to early rock and roll yet is barely remembered. Why don’t people adore Jerry Lee Lewis the way they adore Elvis? I’ve always preferred his music.

Jerry Lee Lewis wasn't nearly as funny as he was made out to be. But when he was young-ish, he was totally fuckable.

Because he married his cousin. And she was only like 11 years old.

Married his 13-year-old cousin, killed his career.

Elvis groomed a 14 year old to be his child bride. That’s at least as gross. Jerry Lee seems more likable and he wasn’t quite as trashy as Elvis.

He’s the only original rock n roller still alive, but now no one cares about live music so there’s that.

Brenda Lee is still alive. Ditto Wanda Jackson.

He wasn't as sexy as Elvis.

Plus the whole cousin fucking business.

He wasn't remotely handsome. Elvis, Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe - all of these have endured in pop culture to a large extent because of their looks.

R10, Plus manic piano-playing isn't a turn-on.

He killed at least one of his wives, so there’s that.

I thought Elvis preserved Priscilla's virginity until the wedding night. I've also read he lost interest shortly after LM's birth.

In her book, Elvis and Me, Priscilla describes Presley as a very passionate man who was not overtly sexual towards her. According to her account,[24] the singer told her that they had to wait until they were married before having intercourse. He said, "I'm not saying we can't do other things. It's just the actual encounter. I want to save it." Priscilla says in her autobiography that she was a virgin and she and Elvis did not have sex until their wedding night. However, this claim is questioned by biographer Suzanne Finstad.[25]

I think Jerry Lee was sexy as a young man. He came from a better family than Elvis

God, I love this song.

Oh, to share an encounter with young Elvis. Hot damn!

I enjoy Lewis as a performer, but physically he had a sort of white trash look that didn't work for me.

This thread has me enjoying young Jerry Lee and Elvis videos.
