I've been meaning to point this out to some of the younger folk: Regardless of your age, even if you're not into oldies or rockabilly, stop for a moment. Right now, you are alive at the same time as Jerry Lee Lewis. He just had his eighty fifth birthday. Of course he doesn't have quite the same chops, but this is irrelevant. Pass on to your children, and tell them to tell the story to their children, you and one of the greatest rockers that ever lived walked the earth at the same time. Two hundred years from now, for your great, great, great grandchild, it'll be like saying that you were a Beethoven fan before he became cool.
I ran into a grab bag of old rockers with "rock 'n' roll" (or "rock and roll") in the title. That's what made me think of the Killer. As for the lady, it's a little early for Christmas, but Cordell Jackson's "Rock 'n' Roll Christmas" is here so I could post the fetching image above.
