Jerry Lee Lewis / Bo Diddley

Jeffrey Lee Jun 25, 2018

So "The Killer" strolls out on stage, and is met by the presence of a Roland electric piano.
He walks around it with his hand on hips, shaking his head, and the look of disgust on his face. He sits down on the bench, and plays three country weepers, gets up, and suddenly pushes the piano off the edge of the stage into the orchestra pit - then declares "The show is over, that's all yer gonna' git." and stalks off. The audience, completely stunned, boos and my friend Ron L. and myself give him a standing ovation while everyone looks and gasps at us in horror. I look at the lady seated next to me and admonish her; "What? You should be so lucky he doesn't pull out a .38 and start shooting everybody!"
It was exactly what I wanted to see him do.
I knew from the moment he saw that piano he was pissed, and it wasn't going to end well. A classic performance from the original Bad Ass of rock & roll.
