@Cody Rucker Because anyone who has studied this guy, clearly understands how messed up he was. In many interviews he comes across as arrogant and deeply insecure. He beat women. He had a HUGE inferiority complex. And, he had just a few measly hits. And that's why he always felt deeply insecure when anyone mentioned the king.

But not quite as funny as he thinks he is. I truly like him better when he is onstage than his interviews.

I can see the interviewers "-_-" face from his moments of silence and the tone of his voice 😂

Ah, if I was the interviewer, I'd be giggling most way through and probably asked him for a sip of his bourbon (I can only presume that) too! Lol What I like about Jerry Lee is the fact he tells it like it is and doesn't try a paint a phony image of himself. He is a legend no matter what troubles & tragedies he went through over the years, he came out the other side with his big, sly smile and playing his heart out! (I miss his wavy blonde hair though, especially when he used to crazy on the piano and fell over his eyes.) RIP Jerry Lee a.k.a. "The Killer" forever & always 😊😂❤

"I'll outlive'em all"... Irreverent, controversial and clairvoyant.

I lived in Columbia, LA for 20 years with my husband from there which is fairly close to Ferriday and so I feel like I know JLL. His way of life, speech patterns, personality, attitude could be so many I knew including my own husband. He had a big knife scar on his shoulder gotten in an after hours club when he was a kid.See what I mean? Where else can you get a drive-through daiquiri?

Jerry Lee was torn between two worlds. He had a God given talent and in his own words later in life said he knew he was always doing the devils buisness. Therefore, was a tormented soul. Once you have been raised in the church such as he was you can never get away from it. Like many, he turned to substance to drown out his true calling. I'm very thankful the last few years of his life he made his soul right with God. "It's how a man dies"!

If we are without sin, then cast the first stone. As far as Jerry Lee I was only repeating what he himself said. I have done a lot of research on the 3 talented Ferriday boys from Louisiana. BTW, I liked Jerry Lee Lewis!

Thanks a lot

LOVE this interview. Wish I could catch every single word of it. Jerry speaks fast sometimes and I miss some words here and there. Am used to Louisiana accent cause I live here, so am used to his accent.

Jerry unfiltered. You have to keep looking and listening because he compels your attention. He’s got that “it thing” going on both off and on stage. He’s the real deal. I call them originals, a whole new mold-he calls them stylists that you can count on one hand-and he is one of them. Due to attention on his chaotic private life he’s never gotten his due as the seminal, complete-package artist he really is.

It certainly doesn't look easy to interview Jerry Lee - even feeding his ego doesn't guarantee he won't snap at you! He doesn't like answering the same old questions, and if you do get him to talk, he'll mumble and ramble at random and include a few bits you can't put on TV... And then he might start demanding to know whether the interviewer has been sanctified..

Goree Carters Rock Awhile (1949), is probably the first true Rock and Roll song, at least the 1st with electric guitar. But the 1st is always ahead of his time, and paves the way for all these other greats to follow. But I always think ....what if ?? On other things, this interview is funny AF, and actually one of his best interviews. Ahhhhh Jerry Lee, music aside, I really want to dislike you as a person, but against my better judgement, I just can't, you are too funny and if boorish and egocentric could be charming, then you could definitely make it so 👏🎯😆

I feel like maybe Jerry had a little too much to drink before the interview, ha ha. He's just having a good time goofing off and giving the interviewers a hard time. He's probably answered these questions so many times and now he's just having fun with it. Jerry Lee Lewis was full of confidence and like he said, you can't hurt him. He's gonna do and say whatever he wants. The interviewers here just seem so uptight and uncomfortable. They just don't seem to have a sense of humor so they're just not getting Jerry Lee at all.

As a huge fan, technically he wasn't a very good musician: could only play in a few keys, C, D, F and G - easy for the piano, couldn't read music at all and his technique was poor. It was stage presence and performance energy and aggression that made him stand out. He certainly couldn't outplay trained jazz or classical musicians. He was heavily influenced by Moon Mullican although he flitted between admitting this or saying nobody at all influenced his playing style. An odd man who comes across here as egotistical, unpredictable and a bit unhinged. Still, a good showman who made some timeless records.
