As a pianist, "The Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis always complained because he had to sit down during his shows. Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash suggested him to stand up. Jerry Lee accepted their advice. So he started to kick the chairs, to go up on the keyboards and even to burn pianos.

November 19th, 2008 at 16:31:34 Pretty sure he had an issue with having to sit down while playing. This lead to standing up while playing, kicking benches, jumping on the piano.

November 19th, 2008 at 19:35:26 Nooben. You are revealing a strong prejudice and incredible ignorance. The name of that movie is "Great Balls of Fire." I suggest you actually watch it all the way through. Jerry Lee is certainly not a perfect individual, but...racism is not one of his flaws. The movie correctly captures his inspiration (black R & B singers/musicians of the era) and contrasts his 'descent' into that realm whilst his 'holy-joe' cousin makes a name for himself as a hypocritical Televangelist. U a dummy!
November 19th, 2008 at 19:58:25 Why didnt he just get up and dance like Elvis used to, instead of feeling for space under the piano like that?
