2012 will be the winner...no matter what they do from here on out. Technically, Jerry's body is like a 90's man. Abuse through the years aged him different. His cousin Mickey Gilley is same age and plays 200 dates a year, and does a two-hour show each night with all 17 #1 hits and most of his 35 top ten hits. And that's after learning to walk all over again from a back injury several years ago. Look at most people you know in their mid 70s. Most look much younger than Jerry Lee. Johnny Cash died at 71...looking 91. All because of drugs and booze. Cash was in a wheelchair the last year of his life with 80% of his eyesight gone. Both Cash and Lewis aged their bodies long before their time. I know y'all would like to see and hear Jerry perform for at least ten more years. It just ain't gonna happen. I've seen too many people at the end of their life and the signs are there when a body begins to shut down. But, Hey, he's still got a few good albums in the vaults. His last two were giant sellers. Can't understand why they're holding back the last album he recorded with "Come Sundown", "Keep Me In Mind", "Roll On", etc. on it. Get that sucka out! I like it better than "LMS" and MOM". Play it often.
