"All Shook Up" Chapter 6
I was surprised to discover that most of the famous artists from the era of the 50's ended mad. I came to a conclusion that maybe parents from this era were right when they didn't let their children listen to rock 'n' roll. For example, Jerry Lee Lewis married a thirteen year old which made his career come to an end. In the real world it is nonsense to marry a child. Jerry Lee Lewis married a little girl who still needed to become an adult before getting married. This meant that Lewis could have gotten with any other girl which is why the parents were scared for their children. Furthermore, Chuck Berry was put in jail for the period of three years for violating the Mann Act. Chuck Berry brought a fourteen year old to the United States from Mexico. This girl worked at a night club and as a prostitute at night. It is a little unfair because Chuck Berry got a chance to become famous once after his bad actions while Jerry Lee Lewis lost his career. On the other hand rock 'n' roll come to an end when radio stations started playing more mellow songs. Lastly I think that even if rock 'n' roll ended a lot of artist from the 60's covered a lot of their music.
