Love, not age

Now, I'm a big fan of the fifties. I almost only listen to music from the 50's and the 60's - it's great! I'd love to live in that time.
I freaked out when I found out Jerry Lee was alive. This may sound stupid, but I had to start somewhere. As I loved Jerry's music, I started to find out more and more about his life.
I there's one thing I have made out of my research, then it is that Jerry and Myra loved eachother, and concidering that, the age isn't a big deal. Am I right? I mean; love has no age. And it's not like Jerry was fifty or something.

By the way, does somebody know Jerry's fan-address?

What are you naïve? Age is a big difference. A 13 year old getting married to a 22 year old. That's considered statutory rape. People get arrested for that.
My parents would have sent me to the convent if I were in that situation.

Age is only a number and this movie was lame. Jerry is one of the kings of rock-n-roll and the song, " Great Balls Of Fire " is a true mega crock classic - jmho
