As demonstrated in the following totally epic slice of rock and roll history, it doesn’t, and probably won’t EVER, get much crazier than Jerry fucking Lee Lewis.
Exhibit A – This Video
Exhibit B – Last Man Standing: The Duets

Not even this piece of shit that I found on youtube takes away from the obvious fact that he made some damn good music in his time. I don’t even care that he was allegedly boning his 14 year old cousin – shit, that’s none of my business OR yours. But I’m not sure if I’ll have an easy time getting over this one:
