I head the pleasure to work with (opening the show)and meet Jerry Lee and believe me, he's one of the best people i've ever met! very nice man,and the rockinest of them all .thank's for posting, great clip
Watch this till the end... He's sooo cool and appreciative of the accolades from Snider, and gives that little chuckle . Really miss you Jerry, Loved you lots .
Love coming back to these interviews with Jerry. He was always such a entertaining man, with such God Given Talent … A person that attracted, influenced, and inspired people by his personal qualities. God Bless You, he often said to those he spoke with, and made it known he loved the Lord. He had a million dollar smile, striking looks and a charismatic personality, noticed far, and wide. But really was just a ole small town Louisiana boy! I miss him tremendously.
Whatever happened to honest, transparent interviewing in our current days? I'm struck by the decency, courtesy, & honesty shown here by both parties. I ask our Heavenly Father to reward Mr. Jerry Lee's Lewis with many, many more years of Life, Peace, Love, & Prosperity. Jerry Lee Lewis is a Titanic National Treasure & We The People owe him so much for all the glorious Music, & Beauty he has shared with us with " Talent On Loan From God"!
Jerry looks happy here, and grateful to be alive, which I'm sure he was after nearly leaving this earth like he did. Soon after this though, he went right back to roaring again with the alcohol and pills right up to the late 90's, when he gained a moment of clarity, and gave it all up finally. This interview is the rarest of the rare, and we're lucky to be able to see it again after all these years. A big thanks to you bailbath! Got any more jewels like this? I Love it!
I was waxing my 69 Charger R/T in my garage in July of 1981 Just finished my junior year in high school. Had the Radio on listening to WAAF Rock n Roll when all of a sudden the music stopped, and the DJ informed us listeners that Jerry Lee Lewis was in a Memphis Hospital And was not expected to live through the day. I was devastated by the news having been a fan of his and all the Sun Record pioneers of rock. Flash ahead to 2020. WAAF is now gone. A religious station. But thankfully my Charger is still in the garage And Jerry Lee Lewis is still here and sharp as a tac, life is really amazing sometimes.
Folks your looking at the greatest rock n roll legend of all time a national treasure the killer the king. Still with us to today!! God bless you killer..i love ya.
Newman Dubea He wants that hurting heart, that dry inner man he wants to water it and that persons name written in the scroll called the lambs book of life. Saved an filled, praise Judah's lion and our Savior and all of who he is. His love never dies, thy anchor holds though the ship is battered!. The inner man desert blooms again.
@@dorinriki I think Mr Jerry Lee is such a kind hearted man that even if The Killer had killed a wife or two or even three we could all find it in our hearts to forgive him
@@dorinriki There's plenty of unanswered questions about why the charges were dropped on one, which should get answered. Given that they were both doing drugs the real answers may never be found. The first one was an accidental drowning while at her sister's home.
Just about everyone smoked back then. It took education of the dangers to become widespread before it started to change. My father thought it was good for his asthma. Crazy but true.
that man's been through a lot of misery!! as long as you keep surviving it, it'll make you tougher and tougher. i guess that's why this man's still alive. not many people would keep on going like this man does, respect killer, respect.
Jerry Lee Lewis' whole life has been a near death experience. I heard him say when he was on the skids and working his way back the he spent 12 years in the back seat of a car. Just look at all the entertainers that did die while traveling.
There is also a condition called Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori). Which is very common now. Posh words for ulcers in stomach, The condition causes heart burn, stomach pain, bloating, and acid reflux, and this pain is ongoing until treatment happens, and you have to be careful what you eat or drink. If you are diagnosed with this a doctor can treat it with antibiotics normally. It gives similar symptoms of IBS.
LadyWriter 1968 H. pylori is found in both GI healthy people and those with ulcers. It is not quite understood as to why some people are asymtomatic to ulcers yet have an abundance of H pylori. The treatment is usually a bolace (large) dosage of FLAGYL® (metronidazole) & Ompeprazole (or Nexium). Never drink alcohol with Flagyl; you will be deathly ill.
GTown Dave I had it for a while, was put on 3 lots anitbiotics, yeah doc said it was lethal to drink alcohol while on the meds. on last test it was gone but it can return though. thanks for info
I hope that you are right. Well, from the type of upbringing he had; he definitely knows the way of salvation. So I hope he has made heaven his future home. Long live Jerry Lee !
He never had any NDE, .. he had an "almost dead experience".. A "near death experience" is actually a misnomer,. as you have to actiually be officially dead to have one.. and leave your body entirely. DIdn't happen with him.
this is a great interview. This is the only interview I have seen where Jerry lee lewis felt comfortable speaking. I know he doesnt like interviews because of his past
Wow Tom talks about Jerry Lee having a cigar in his hand and his puffing away on a cigarette and Tom looks way older Jerry Lee and The Killer a year older
gog 1284 So what ? He didn't rape her, she loved him ! Besides they stayed married many years and loved each other, so why the FUCK do you care about it ? Love is not a matter of age ! Ok she was VERY young, though she was not a under 10 either, girls get older quicker than boys. He did not abuse her and loved her many years and I believe they were quite happy together, are you jealous ? If so, then search for a 13 year old girl for yourself and stop pissing others about someone else's life ! Try to live yours in a happy way, but don't be sad about anybody else's happiness !
@davidallenroth Yes I know its his cousin. Jimmy's followers refer to him as Brother Jimmy. Jerry, Jerry's other cousin, Mickey Gilley, and Jimmy Swaggart all play boogie woogie piano, and all spent time working the clubs down by the railroad tracks learning the "devil's music". I think they lived in the same household for a time.
Just a few time out of hospital, that was for a really bad condition. .......holding a long fat cigar in the right hand............this is the last really true artist out of any rules! !!!!!!!!!!!!!killer forever.....
@TheCourtney1983 The reason is most likely because during this decade/era Cigarette Smoking was thought to be healthy for the human body...check out Twilight Zone, and other old old school T.V. You'll notice comments about cigarette's benefiting health...particularly Rod Serling at the ending of his twilight zone episodes..good day.
We are all Jerry's Kids in a psychological disorder sense...some of us are just a little more intense with our behaviors or a little more revealing than others...no body's perfect in the societal sense but the place which we originates says otherwise...
De Gup HE MEANS HE WOULDN'T PLAY ANYTHING BUT GOSPEL, AND BE A PREACHER. THAT'S WHAT HE WAS TAUGHT AT CHURCH. WHEN HE WAS IN BIBLE COLLEGE TO BECOME A PREACHER, HE,PLAYED A SONG WITH AN UPTEMPO INSTEAD OF THE USUAL, AND THEY KICKED HIM OUT OF SCHOOL.
Someone bet 100 dollars last night on weather JLL was still alive or not. The guy that was so confident and made the bet said he died year's ago. That movie of his was on Encore so that's how that came up. Glad that know it all bastard lost.
Elvis’ manager, Col. Tom Parker, said in a press conference shortly after his death: “Elvis didn’t die. The body did. We’re keeping up the good spirits. We’re keeping Elvis alive. I talked to him this morning and he told me to 'carry on.’” (Elvis did not die and he wanted out. - Col. Tom Parker. 1977) After hearing so many stories about the death of Elvis Presley, I have decided to tell the world the real story on the facts concerning that day in August, 1977. Yes, that day, the 16th of August. Is it a coincidence that a person born on that January 8, first month, eighth day, would perish on the 8th month and the 16th day? Probably if two (2) people were born on that day it makes more sense. You see, numerology always played an important part of my life and still does today. So many people have written or spoke about my death as a hoax. It was not a hoax! I decided to reinvent myself in the form of my brother (Jesse Garon) and yes, Elvis Presley did die that day. But after much searching for the right people, I found several people from different states who I consider my most loyal and trustworthy friends. To some people this book will be just another scandalous piece of fiction, but when you are done I think you will think otherwise. I always felt my brother deserved to live and what better way to let him live his life than to end mine. I was lonely, depressed, in bad health and my numerology chart said that this was the time for it to come to end. Anyone who studies numerology will understand, those who don't may want to look into it. All of the facts (and there are many) even the experts will say they are more than coincidences. I no longer give away Cadillacs or expensive pieces of jewelry because I am nothing more than a man who had a very famous brother. I am not a great literate (I never wrote my own songs), but I am not illiterate either. The perfect day August 16, 1977, 1 + 9 + 7 + 7 = 24, my age backwards (42), the facts go on and on. But my true reasons for the book are for my fans. My death was not a hoax! To my fans, please forgive me, my brother deserved to live, he was with me constantly (spiritually). My life would not be the same had he lived at birth. This was my way of giving him life, and corny as it sounds. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. He was a loyal friend. But I will no longer stand by and have people like Gail Brewer tell you stories that are pure fiction. This book written by a true friend will help you realize why I did what I did. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). My fascination with the idea of a hoax about death was when Jim Morrison died July 3rd, 1971. Although I saw no correlation (he died at age 27) I was astounded that as famous as he was the body was just closed up and shipped out. Now I don't know all the facts concerning his death. I thought it awfully strange that no autopsy was performed (or so I thought) and just forgotten about. There were a lot of rumors about his death. I noticed he was born on the 8th day. Born in 1944 = 1-8 and died in 1971 = 1-8. Remember my comeback in 1968? 1+9+6+8 = 24. Obviously, I was no longer 24, so I reversed the age to 42. The next time that number had any relevance was 1977 (1+9+7+7 = 24 when I would be 42. Numerology can and does play an important part of my life and we knew that would have to be the date. Most people if they know what to look for will find significance in the forms of numbers in all of my movies! Example: gravestone in " Loving You" (year) 1878 = ? (1+8+7+8 = 24). You have to look at the movies. My hero James Dean died at the age of 24, but I was on top of the world then and wanted to live. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). I will start about 1974 when the thought first came to me about faking my death. I have always been fascinated with the occult and other spiritual things. When I first saw a wax dummy of myself made by a Mr. Cooper I was fascinated with it. For some time I had thought if it was possible? Could I pull this thing off? I had asked Mr Cooper if he could make another wax dummy for me. He said he could. I in turn said I wanted him to do it and keep it strictly confidential. When I had mentioned it to a very few close friends (Joe Esposito, Larry Geller) they did not think I was serious. I was tired of being Elvis Presley, my health was deteriorating. I just couldn't keep up. My finances were floundering because of my daddy's poor business ventures. I was at my wit's end. As the years progressed I had my ups and downs which are pretty well documented in other books. I also had two detectives from Colorado who I trusted immensely. Originally the date was 1976 according to my numerology charts but I chickened out. A pact was made on the grounds of Graceland one night, hands placed over hands that this secret would never be spoken of outside this room. I picked four (4) of us initially and to this day all have kept the secret. I also know when this book reaches the bookstores people (my loyal friends) will be heartbroken. They took care of me and convinced others that I was no longer alive. In reality Elvis Presley died that day and my twin brother "Jesse" came to life, living in hiding but as a normal human being. I skip around because I am writing stream of consciousness. My own Daddy bless his soul never knew the truth. Little Lisa was told months later and explained to her she would not see me much. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. Many people believe me to still be alive but I was told in the beginning there would be no contact in order for this to work. I go thru a lot of ups and downs since 1977 and have lived in many states but I insisted I needed to be in a warm climate. My personal thoughts are that my fans will understand. That is very important to me. I just could not face myself any more after seeing myself in the mirror and that is where Larry Geller came in. He asked if he could write a book, and I gave him my blessing. "If I Can Dream" is the title and I like his book. He had filled my head with spiritual thoughts and made me believe we could pull this off. If I had stayed longer I think I would have been booed off the stage. That is why I chose the date 8-16-77. Do you know how many famous people passed away on that date? The great Robert Johnson died on 8-16 and he was born in 1935! Babe Ruth, and Bela Lugosi and many others. I must say I was very nervous that day 8-16. But it had to be done before I went on the road where I would not have been able to pull it off. Did you know there are secret compartments in Graceland that very few people know about! A few like Vester would joke about my being alive but no one took him serious. Many of my friends would ask if I were still alive and they have their doubts but as it was I might have died broke and just a shell of myself. I was given an injection that looked like I was dead but the people closest to me knew better. Believe me I had my doubts that this could be pulled off. But it did and I became Jesse, just a poor white southern boy who didn't sing a lick of anything. I feel bad my Daddy wasn't allowed to know but it just couldn't be done. I better go now and collect my thoughts to tell you the rest next time. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). You Found Me By Pastor Bob Joyce th-cam.com/video/WUI7_rZpl8c/w-d-xo.html
I think Mr Jerry Lee is such a kind hearted man that even if The Killer had killed a wife or two or even three we could all find it in our hearts to forgive him
i love how he doesn't really answer the question about what caused it.lol i ain't no doctor but the only thing i know that can rupture your stomach like that is good ol' cukane abuse....unless you gonna eat a whole wedding cake or something.
Wow. Had no idea he almost died in 1981. If that had happened I wonder if his wife Jaren wouldn't have ended up mysteriously drowned at the bottom of their swimming pool the following year. Or his next wife of 77 days, Shawn, wouldn't have mysteriously overdosed on methadone and been dressed and placed under the covers in a bed after her death and before paramedics found her. Certainly his first daughter would still remember the images of him beating his third wife Myra in the face with her own fists since he did that more than a decade earlier, long after he impregnated her at age 14. What a classy guy!
i am better than him --truly i am! i play the piano with my elbows when i am having a bath of course and i have to be eating some cramy cake at thye same time. take a look at this poor wretch ...hes stook in a sort of time warp --there comes a time when one has to prepare for the next life or mature a little.
im better cause I can play the bongos upside down ---and also standing on one leg ---can you do that ? jerry lee lewis is ready for the cemetry pronto --woulnd like to b in his shoes. what on gods earth has he done with his life ( for jesus ?) me thinks zero!
It always amazes me that he appreciates a complement, even a small one. He knows he is great but hearing it makes him happy!
I head the pleasure to work with (opening the show)and meet Jerry Lee and believe me, he's one of the best people i've ever met! very nice man,and the rockinest of them all .thank's for posting, great clip
Watch this till the end... He's sooo cool and appreciative of the accolades from Snider, and gives that little chuckle . Really miss you Jerry, Loved you lots .
Love coming back to these interviews with Jerry. He was always such a entertaining man, with such God Given Talent … A person that attracted, influenced, and inspired people by his personal qualities. God Bless You, he often said to those he spoke with, and made it known he loved the Lord.
He had a million dollar smile, striking looks and a charismatic personality, noticed far, and wide. But really was just a ole small town Louisiana boy! I miss him tremendously.
Whatever happened to honest, transparent interviewing in our current days? I'm struck by the decency, courtesy, & honesty shown here by both parties. I ask our Heavenly Father to reward Mr. Jerry Lee's Lewis with many, many more years of Life, Peace, Love, & Prosperity. Jerry Lee Lewis is a Titanic National Treasure & We The People owe him so much for all the glorious Music, & Beauty he has shared with us with " Talent On Loan From God"!
83 and he s still rocking....last man standing...gotta hand it to him....King of r&r
..
Jerry looks happy here, and grateful to be alive, which I'm sure he was after nearly leaving this earth like he did. Soon after this though, he went right back to roaring again with the alcohol and pills right up to the late 90's, when he gained a moment of clarity, and gave it all up finally. This interview is the rarest of the rare, and we're lucky to be able to see it again after all these years. A big thanks to you bailbath! Got any more jewels like this? I Love it!
I was waxing my 69 Charger R/T in my garage in July of 1981
Just finished my junior year in high school. Had the Radio on listening to WAAF
Rock n Roll when all of a sudden the music stopped, and the DJ informed us listeners that Jerry Lee Lewis was in a Memphis Hospital And was not expected to live through the day. I was devastated by the news having been a fan of his and all the Sun Record pioneers of rock.
Flash ahead to 2020. WAAF is now gone. A religious station. But thankfully my Charger is still in the garage
And Jerry Lee Lewis is still here and sharp as a tac, life is really amazing sometimes.
Folks your looking at the greatest rock n roll legend of all time a national treasure the killer the king. Still with us to today!! God bless you killer..i love ya.
If you ain't hip to Jerry Lee Lewis you ain't hip
That's what I love about him Piet his sense of humour as well as his music. His honest answers on the record company naming names rocks.
I saw Jerry Lee Lewis in concert right after this interview,,,and he was still the best!!!
There's only one Killer!!! God Bless you Jerry Lee!!!!
Jerry Lewis is really a good person he hurts himself more than anyone else.
He's a religious person and very kind hearted. Just pray for him. Thanks.
Newman Dubea He wants that hurting heart, that dry inner man he wants to water it and that persons name written in the scroll called the lambs book of life. Saved an filled, praise Judah's lion and our Savior and all of who he is. His love never dies, thy anchor holds though the ship is battered!. The inner man desert blooms again.
Such a great guy. Only murdered two of his wives. At least he didn't kill his 13 year old bride.
@@dominooo371 The charges against him were dropped because he was innocent. Try getting your facts straight before you comment.
@@dorinriki I think Mr Jerry Lee is such a kind hearted man that even if The Killer had killed a wife or two or even three we could all find it in our hearts to forgive him
@@dorinriki There's plenty of unanswered questions about why the charges were dropped on one, which should get answered. Given that they were both doing drugs the real answers may never be found. The first one was an accidental drowning while at her sister's home.
Last man standing of the original rock and roll great..lasted twice as long as Elvis...was a bad ass...loved God....the real King of R&R
How can you not admire his grit to say nothing of his god given talent?
Interviewer gives him a hard time for having a cigar in his hand, and then interviewer proceeds to light up a cigarette himself - classic! :)
The Don Snyder died of lung cancer so it’s even more "classic", even a bit ironic
@@GeorgiaOverdrive Tom Snyder died of Leukemia, and he was in his 70's. Not that ironic really.
It's a subtle comradary. As in yeah I know tough to quit.
Just about everyone smoked back then. It took education of the dangers to become widespread before it started to change. My father thought it was good for his asthma. Crazy but true.
Jerry Lee was a badass before the word was ever used. Best hair in Rock n Roll still.
A gifted artist who alwsys gave god the glory for his talent.
He finally saw the light .
I miss him .
Love you Jerry Lee ❤❤❤gloria jean
Thanks for posting this great interview~~

Still with us - & still rockin !! Good on yer JLL - AKA The Killer. God bless him. Peace y'all. Rx
He's not just the killer he is also a survivor. Tough as nails.
Maybe the toughest S.O.B. in rock. He lived another 40 years.
Tom Snyder was a great interviewer! Glad to hear JLL talk about God too.

He never had any NDE, .. he had an "almost dead experience".. A "near death experience" is actually a misnomer,. as you have to actiually be officially dead to have one.. and leave your body entirely. DIdn't happen with him.

this is a great interview. This is the only interview I have seen where Jerry lee lewis felt comfortable speaking. I know he doesnt like interviews because of his past
Fantastic 😅😅
@usvioletswan Jimmy Lee Swaggart. He, Mickey Gilley and Jerry Lee all grew up together in Ferriday, Louisiana.
You can sure tell JLL appraciated being treated with respect by Tom Snyder.
I've always liked this fellow Lewis; he's a bit of a (talented) character, and I've always liked characters. (Snyder's cool, too, btw.)
He's such an interesting guy.
Wow Tom talks about Jerry Lee having a cigar in his hand and his puffing away on a cigarette and Tom looks way older Jerry Lee and The Killer a year older
jerry lee is the true king.
God has really had His hand on Jerry Lee and thankfully has drawn Him back to God.

What a diamond of a interview this is. The killer in top form.
New Book...Jerry Lee Lewis, his own story...by Rick Bragg
Don't say that to Jerry 'I'm Rock n Roll boy' and he's right!
Funny the interviewer is smoking a cigarette! lol
What are you talking about?
@Damoskinos He never lived of his image, he is real. He is a great drunk person, without any doubt!
I LOVE the Killer!
Just a few time out of hospital, that was for a really bad condition. .......holding a long fat cigar in the right hand............this is the last really true artist out of any rules! !!!!!!!!!!!!!killer forever.....
@bailbath he was a good man
he aint dead
So where was the near death experience? Clickbait.

history repeats, eh ? MJ...same end...
I like this guy especially all the work he does for Muscular dsytrophy
JamesTKirkCobain that's funny! wrong person, it's Jerry Lewis who is the muscular dystrophy spokesperson.
Someone bet 100 dollars last night on weather JLL was still alive or not. The guy that was so confident and made the bet said he died year's ago. That movie of his was on Encore so that's how that came up. Glad that know it all bastard lost.

My fascination with the idea of a hoax about death was when Jim Morrison died July 3rd, 1971. Although I saw no correlation (he died at age 27) I was astounded that as famous as he was the body was just closed up and shipped out. Now I don't know all the facts concerning his death. I thought it awfully strange that no autopsy was performed (or so I thought) and just forgotten about. There were a lot of rumors about his death. I noticed he was born on the 8th day. Born in 1944 = 1-8 and died in 1971 = 1-8. Remember my comeback in 1968? 1+9+6+8 = 24. Obviously, I was no longer 24, so I reversed the age to 42. The next time that number had any relevance was 1977 (1+9+7+7 = 24 when I would be 42. Numerology can and does play an important part of my life and we knew that would have to be the date. Most people if they know what to look for will find significance in the forms of numbers in all of my movies! Example: gravestone in " Loving You" (year) 1878 = ? (1+8+7+8 = 24). You have to look at the movies. My hero James Dean died at the age of 24, but I was on top of the world then and wanted to live. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). I will start about 1974 when the thought first came to me about faking my death. I have always been fascinated with the occult and other spiritual things. When I first saw a wax dummy of myself made by a Mr. Cooper I was fascinated with it. For some time I had thought if it was possible? Could I pull this thing off? I had asked Mr Cooper if he could make another wax dummy for me. He said he could. I in turn said I wanted him to do it and keep it strictly confidential. When I had mentioned it to a very few close friends (Joe Esposito, Larry Geller) they did not think I was serious. I was tired of being Elvis Presley, my health was deteriorating. I just couldn't keep up. My finances were floundering because of my daddy's poor business ventures. I was at my wit's end. As the years progressed I had my ups and downs which are pretty well documented in other books. I also had two detectives from Colorado who I trusted immensely. Originally the date was 1976 according to my numerology charts but I chickened out. A pact was made on the grounds of Graceland one night, hands placed over hands that this secret would never be spoken of outside this room. I picked four (4) of us initially and to this day all have kept the secret. I also know when this book reaches the bookstores people (my loyal friends) will be heartbroken. They took care of me and convinced others that I was no longer alive. In reality Elvis Presley died that day and my twin brother "Jesse" came to life, living in hiding but as a normal human being. I skip around because I am writing stream of consciousness. My own Daddy bless his soul never knew the truth. Little Lisa was told months later and explained to her she would not see me much. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. Many people believe me to still be alive but I was told in the beginning there would be no contact in order for this to work. I go thru a lot of ups and downs since 1977 and have lived in many states but I insisted I needed to be in a warm climate. My personal thoughts are that my fans will understand. That is very important to me. I just could not face myself any more after seeing myself in the mirror and that is where Larry Geller came in. He asked if he could write a book, and I gave him my blessing. "If I Can Dream" is the title and I like his book. He had filled my head with spiritual thoughts and made me believe we could pull this off. If I had stayed longer I think I would have been booed off the stage. That is why I chose the date 8-16-77. Do you know how many famous people passed away on that date? The great Robert Johnson died on 8-16 and he was born in 1935! Babe Ruth, and Bela Lugosi and many others. I must say I was very nervous that day 8-16. But it had to be done before I went on the road where I would not have been able to pull it off. Did you know there are secret compartments in Graceland that very few people know about! A few like Vester would joke about my being alive but no one took him serious. Many of my friends would ask if I were still alive and they have their doubts but as it was I might have died broke and just a shell of myself. I was given an injection that looked like I was dead but the people closest to me knew better. Believe me I had my doubts that this could be pulled off. But it did and I became Jesse, just a poor white southern boy who didn't sing a lick of anything. I feel bad my Daddy wasn't allowed to know but it just couldn't be done. I better go now and collect my thoughts to tell you the rest next time. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001).

I think Mr Jerry Lee is such a kind hearted man that even if The Killer had killed a wife or two or even three we could all find it in our hearts to forgive him
Tom Snyder smoking on TV!

i ain't no doctor but the only thing i know that can rupture your stomach like that is good ol' cukane abuse....unless you gonna eat a whole wedding cake or something.
Pauly McPaulson DOCTOR, YOU JUST COMMITTED MALPRACTICE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PATIENT. GENE VINCENT DIED OF THIS CONDITION, AS HAVE COUNTLESS OTHERS.
My uncle had a ruptured stomach, and he never did drugs in his life. It was smoking that caused it.

@bailbath LOL

Wow. Had no idea he almost died in 1981. If that had happened I wonder if his wife Jaren wouldn't have ended up mysteriously drowned at the bottom of their swimming pool the following year. Or his next wife of 77 days, Shawn, wouldn't have mysteriously overdosed on methadone and been dressed and placed under the covers in a bed after her death and before paramedics found her. Certainly his first daughter would still remember the images of him beating his third wife Myra in the face with her own fists since he did that more than a decade earlier, long after he impregnated her at age 14. What a classy guy!
i am better than him --truly i am! i play the piano with my elbows when i am having a bath of course and i have to be eating some cramy cake at thye same time. take a look at this poor wretch ...hes stook in a sort of time warp --there comes a time when one has to prepare for the next life or mature a little.
Put down the crack pipe, dude.
love jerry as a rocker but man, he got some moral issues!!! 21 and he married his 12yo cousin!!!
In the deep South, it was very common for girls in their early teens to marry young men.
