I'm sure glad none of the jazz legends ever did bad things, like take drugs, or whore around.
At least Jerry Lee MARRIED his little cousin. If there were other kids I don't know about them. The cousin thing ruined his career for many years, but I don't think that made him a pedophile as commonly defined.
I'm not condoning what he did, of course it was wrong or at the very least raging hormones running amok and a lack of self control.
Let's look at some of our other heroes: Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, John F. Kennedy, J. Edgar Hoover, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles. . . crap Ted Kennedy allegedly killed a girl and tried to cover it up. . . stop me my fingers are getting sore.
Point is that I guess you can suffer from lack of morals and still be a decent singer or picker or whatever. Sad though, isn't it?
