1. He's just old
The guy has to be in his 70s.

4. He'll be 70 on September 29th...
" The extraordinary life of Jerry Lee Lee Lewis began on 29th of September 1935 in Ferriday Louisiana U.S.A. He was born to Elmo and Maimie Lewis into dirt poor white trash poverty. Apart from a large extended family the young Jerry Lee's main socializing took place at the Assembly Of God church in Ferriday. It was here that he was first introduced to the piano and it was in the church that he first learnt to sing. When he was nine his mother declared, "I believe Jerry lee is a natural born piano player". His parents mortgaged their house to buy him a piano. He has said that within a couple of months he had mastered it. His father would load the upright on the back of his truck and Jerry Lee would tour the local area playing and singing. He recently recalled how after one performance the hat was taken around and he earned the grand total of nine dollars which was at the time more money than he had ever seen."

5. He doesn't look all that bad
Clearly he's in good enough health to still rock out at concerts. Let's see anyone else doing that in their 70s. Go, Jerry!

But stay away from them cousins!

6. I guess the eyes and the weight were a shock...
I saw him in concert during the early 90s, when he looked like a 50-something version of every photo I'd ever seen of him.
