Did you know that Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin? (1 Viewer)

[badmojo1006]

This came from another board and a discussion about Kirk Cousin contract dispute. I thought the joke was funny but that most people wouldn't get it.

Here is a link to the controversy.

I can't post the joke because of the profanity.

 

[E Street Brat]

Yes I knew.

Didn't he kill a wife also?

PM it to me and I'll tell you if it's worth cleaning up

Yes, I thought that was common knowledge as it killed his career, although he made a comeback as a country artist some years later.

The marriage was legal, but the public was rightfully outraged and would be more so if something happened like this today (with Jerry Lee probably doing some jail time).

What a time to be alive.

The Killer was on Jonesy's Jukebox this year and when Steve asked him about his trip to England he got all pissed off . After all the years of past it's a hot button for him

[badmojo1006]

Yeah, you proved me wrong. We are old and trivia obsessed. But I think for anybody under 35 would have no clue what it meant

Yeah, language is cleaned up, but there is still a problem that wasn't an issue 60 years ago

 

[JAMES!]

I was young when that movie came out but I remember thinking Winona Ryder was the hottest girl in the world after seeing it.

It was an issue, the public was outraged and it ended his career at the time.

 

[Statorama]

Can you imagine what a PITA being married to a 13 year old would be?  Good grief, what a nightmare.

They'd have no clue who Jerry Lee Lewis  even is.

Did you know Steven Spielberg took a film directing class at USC and Jerry Lewis was the instructor?  I learned this from the #### Cavett show last night.

I GET PAID to talk and listen to 13 year old girls.  Can't imagine anybody wanting to do it for free.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Lewis was 22 at the time and the cousin was his 3rd wife

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Have we come up with a solution to stop the killer bees that are heading to America? 

 

[JaxBill]

Technically it was the 13 yo daughter of his cousin. (Cousin first removed ).

Not sure if that makes it even creepier

 

[Vanilla Guerrilla]

He was great in the Nutty Professor.

 

[Eephus]

She's 73 years old now.
