From Follett
A monumental figure on the American landscape, Jerry Lee Lewis spent his childhood raising hell in Louisiana and Mississippi; galvanized the world with hit records like "Great Balls of Fire"; caused riots with his incendiary performances; nearly scuttled his career by marrying his thirteen-year-old second cousin; ran a decades-long marathon of drugs, drinking, and women; nearly met his maker, twice; suffered the deaths of two sons and two wives and the indignity of an IRS raid; performed with everyone from Elvis Presley to Keith Richards to Kid Rockand survived it all to be hailed as "one of the most creative and important figures in American popular culture and a paradigm of the Southern experience."
