 On This day in 1973 The One Place Country music is sacred was invaded by Rock & Roll. The Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville Tennessee Booked Jerry Lee Lewis because he agreed to ONLY play Country songs. He did Play Some country songs but soon grew tired of that and broke out into a medley of his 50's Rock hits while at the same time uttering every swear word in the Book. He told the audience "I am the rock and rollin', country and western, rhythm and blues singin' motherf***er." Hmmmm something tells me he was never invited back!
