I live in Memphis. In the late 70s, you could always find Jerry Lee in one of a handful of dive bars - not playing but drinking. He was normally pretty chill unless you ran into him after he'd been drinking too long. But he never acted like he was too cool to talk to anyone. I went to school with his last wife - she was younger than I am.

Jerry Lee was great and I love him, but he is not "rock's first great wild man". That title belongs to Little Richard, the True King of Rock and Roll.
