GO THERE

Jerry Lee Lewis. One of the most openly flawed and incendiary figures in this all consuming mess that has altered the lives and priorities of just about every one of us. Think about it, his role in early rock 'n' roll. Sure, Elvis had the ants in his pants that prevented him from being shown from the waist down. Jerry Lee was Elvis from the waist down. You'd be hard pressed to find someone in early rock 'n' roll that exhibited more publicly an I-don't-give-a-shit attitude. As influential and talented as his peers were, Jerry Lee Lewis brought the unashamed swagger.

When worlds collide.

He's the featured artist over at Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban this month. If you're not familiar with the site, let's just say that the contributors are like a who's who of East Coast rock 'n' roll types. Debbie D from WFMU, the Hound, "Snidely Whiplash" from Probe Is Turning-On the People, and Kogar the Swinging Ape. Those are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head. There's good people over there, true believers, and a month of the Killer. (I apologize for overusing this phrase, but this time I really mean it) Fuck, yeah.
