Myra "The Kid" Lewis (Jerry Lee Lewis)

Overshadowed Podcast

There's a whole lotta sleezin' going on this week as we cover Myra Lewis, the 13-year old child bride and first cousin of rockstar Jerry Lee Lewis, who lost it all once England found out he married a child. Aw. We discuss how their fraudulent marriage became a reality, getting canceled in the 50's, and the warm embrace of Jerry into country music's cousin-loving arms.

Stay tuned next Thursday for a tell-all about Jimmy Swaggart, one of Jerry's cousins he didn't marry: a famous televangelist taken down for his love of corner-working women.
