Answer: They're related (cousins).

Only two people got this right, Lythand and Oversoul. Everyone else, cardboardbox, DarthFerret, EricBess, rokapoke, sageridder, and TomB missed it.

As this is kinda obscure, I'm surprised anyone got it. I'm sure everyone would like to know how the two above knew it :)

Scores:

Melkor: 8
Oversoul: 8

EricBess: 7
sageridder: 7
TomB: 7
train: 7

DarthFerret: 6
Mooseman: 6
Ransac: 6
rokapoke: 6
turgy22: 6

Lythand: 5

Limited: 4

cardboardbox: 0

I don't know the first - Jerry Lee Lewis is that comedian who runs a telethon every year and is mocked a lot... Jimmy Swaggert was a movie star? I think...

Nothing Special
Jerry Lewis is an actor/comedian/former rat pack hanger-on.

Jerry Lee Lewis is a musician.

I wasn't familiar enough with the other two guys to venture a guess.

And I thought they were all 50's singers that MARRIED their cousins...lol
 

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
Woo hoo, I'm back in the (tie for) the lead...

I'd read crap on the internet all the time, and I'd read (or heard at some other point) about Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart. I know next to nothing about Mickey Gilley and country musicians in general for that matter, but I thought he was from Louisiana too, so I was 80% sure I was right.

I'm surprised so few people got it, though. I'd have thought the OLD guys would know more about other old guys than I would...

Speaking of which, where's Killer Joe?

I knew:
1) MICKEY GILLEY was a country singer/musician and his bar was featured in the movie "Urban Cowboy", Starring John Travolta
2) Jerry Lee Lewis is a musician and did "Great balls of Fire" and married a teenager.
3) Jimmy Swaggert is/was a TV evangelist who was boffing some hooker or secretary and got caught.

But to know they were all related is beyond comprehension........ :(
