Saw the Killer in 1973. Have vague memories of it but pretty sure it was, at the very least, a good show. Mighta been a GREAT concert but those youthful activities can sometimes blur the remembrance of things.

didn't read the link, but did it mention he was already married when he married his cousin (also that she was likely 12!)

And which issue they thought of first - her being 13 or being related? 😰

I only did a cursory look through but don’t recall seeing anything about her possibly being 12. Did see that he got married to both his 2nd and 3rd (cousin) wives before being legally divorced from his previous attachments.

The Killer don’t need no stinkin’ rules! 🤐

Oh boy! Kinda overlooked that one small detail.

So how is it that he never got charged? Or did his superstardomness circumvent the law?

But then again, The Killer don’t need no stinkin’ rules!

I dunno... maybe the 1958 thing had something to do with it? Or the state they were married in... Mississippi?

And Wiki says it was first cousin once removed? I dunno wtf that means. He was 22 and she was 13. That's Joe Biden/Jeffrey Epstein type stuff.

Different time different place.How different.........after marrying his 13 year old cousin her and JL moved in with her parents.It was definitely not a big deal.

My maternal grandfather,who BTW would've been 104 yesterday,was 18 when he married my grandmother,who would've been 100 day after tomorrow,when she was 14.They were married 61 years and the popo never showed up.
