Good enough for Jerry Lee

Someone posted this Jerry Lee Lewis version on “Me and Bobby McGee” to MetaFilter last night. I’ve never liked the song, and though I adore Jerry Lee, I agree with the commenter who said that he seems to be phoning it in here (even if “phoning it in” for JLL still rocks my bobby socks off). But while I was watching it I was thinking all the time What a badass MFer he was. And yet, also such a prevert. Is it totally wrong to adore him? And that’s why this comment especially made me chuckle.

Ah, my creepiest hero.

Just the other day we heard “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” on the radio and I said a little silent prayer that someday I’ll get to see The Killer before he dies.
