Oh man, I actually have some work to do, but I have gone down the dark hole of bad album covers and trying to find out who was John Bult.

I actually remember some of these covers, and am very thankful I don't remember some of the others.

A court? Seems to me this is a legislative call?

38 and 15, that's just wack.

How old was Jerry Lee Lewis when he married his 13-year old cousin?

If the Sherman Brothers and Ringo Starr can wait until 16, then so should the fine folks in Colorado.

Ever hear of Myra Gale Brown? She had a child a month after marrying her cousin Jerry Lee Lewis (the "Great Balls of Fire" dude). She was 13 (and still believed in Santa Claus according to a reporter who interviewed her).
