The story of Jerry Lee Lewis, arguably the greatest and certainly one of the wildest musicians of the 1950s. His arrogance, remarkable talent, and unconventional lifestyle often brought him into conflict with others in the industry, and even earned him the scorn and condemnation of the public.

Mi vieja me la mostro como "la mejor pelicula que vio". Literamente es una chabon que le calienta la prima que para el colmo es menor, más santiagueño imposible. Eso sí, buena musica.
