SCOOP
I SAW THIS POSTED FROM THE OFFICIAL GOOGLE BLOG. OF COURSE, I SEARCHED 'THE KILLER,' AND BELOW YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF UNPUBLISHED PICTURES GOIN' ON THE LIFE MAGAZINE ARCHIVE--NOW AVAILABLE AND SEARCHABLE.
MOST OF THE JERRY LEE LEWIS RESULTS DELIVERED WERE THE WONDERFULLY INSANE PIX FROM HIS LUGOSI-LIKE, METHADONE COMPLEXIONED HAUNTING OF THE FIRST ROCK HALL INDUCTION CEREMONY.
IN THESE HE IS DONNING A PURPLE PROM TUXEDO AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY HIS LOVELY (AHEM) WIFE, KERRIE.
THERE'S A RARE BODILESS PHOTO OF JERRY LEE'S LONGTIME MANAGER, J.W. WHITTEN, WHO I WAS ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE IN THE EARLY DAYS OF MY HONKYTONK FEVER. (I MANAGED TO RACK UP A CENTURY MARK OF CONCERTS ATTENDED BEFORE THE TURN OF THE CENTURY AND BEFORE THE KILLER LOST MOST OF HIS HELLRAISING HABIT, ONLY DUE TO POOR HEALTH, OF COURSE.)
THIS SCOOP DOES NOT POP MY CHERRY,THOUGH.
IN THE GREAT TRADITION OF OTHER LEWIS FAMILY MEMBERS, I SOLD "THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER" THE FAMOUS MUGSHOT & POLICE REPORT FROM MR. LEWIS'S INFAMOUS PLACIDYLLY ARREST AT THE GATES OF GRACELAND.
THIS ALSO RANKS BELOW PLAYING BUDDY HOLLY IN THE BIOPICOMEDY, "GREAT BALLS OF FIRE," DURING THE FILMING OF WHICH THE GREAT MAN HIMSELF IN FLIP-FLOPS INFORMED ME WHILE SMOKING A SHERLOCK HOLMES PIPE, "KILLER, YOU LOOK MORE LIKE BUDDY HOLLY THAN BUDDY HOLLY EVER DID!"
IT ALSO CAN'T RIVAL REDISCOVERING HIS SISTER, LINDA GAIL AND PRODUCING HER FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 15 YEARS.
BUT IT'LL DO FOR TODAY.
OH, AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SCOOP SOMETHING JUST GO HERE AND SEARCH, BUT HURRY, IT JUST OPENED A FEW HOURS AGO!

According to Google, "only a very small percentage of these images have ever been published.

According to Google Blogoscoped, "as many photos are quite old, this also means many should have passed into the public domain zone,
