Think you're confusing Chuck Berry with Jerry Lee Lewis?

Nope, definitely Chuck Berry. Something about him videoing women taking a piss in the toilets of his restaurant.

Berry got banged up for taking a 14 year old girl across state lines whilst on tour.
Here's something about the toilet cameras:

He's a dirty old shit-eating pervert and a horrible old man. But he basically invented rock'n'roll guitar, so do we cut him some slack?
This letter to Penthouse founder Bob Guccione from a police informer about Berry is incredible. "It seems Mr Berry has been very BAD." FOMB.

Keith Richards describes his time working with Chuck Berry in that documentary about him. Even Keith thought he was a bit of an old cunt but cut him some slack because of who he was. There's footage of him acting like a proper arsehole in it.

With the possible exception of Buddy Holly it's difficult to name a late fifties rock n roll icon who doesn't have some sort of dubious reputation.

Eddie Cochrane, but again probably because he died too young to get up to any naughtyness.

"No particular place to go" is about shagging a 14yo prostitute in his car.
