THE Original 'Rock and Roll Bad Boy", "The Killer" is 84 today.

One of the founding fathers of Rock and Roll, Jerry Lee Lewis, is celebrating his 84th birthday today.

It is a well know fact that Jerry likes to party. At his 41st birthday party, in 1976, while drunk, he tried to shoot a soda bottle with his .357 Magnum. He missed but did manage to hit his bass player, Norman Owens, twice in the chest. Owens made a full recovery.

We are thinking todays celebration will be just a little less….

Happy Birthday Mr. Lewis!!! Thank you for the music!
