Their first go around was the summer of 1975. She was born in October of 1958. That makes her 16. It was reported in "Rolling Stone" in June or July of '75 and they never lie. I spent a week at the beach with nothing but that copy of Rolling Stone to read.

It was the week after "Jaws" opened, the restaurants and stores were practically giving stuff away because they had no customers, just characters like me hanging out on the piers trying to spot penguins going at with great white sharks. I met a student from CalTech doing the same. I told him about this thing called shortwave radio, and then we got on the subject of whaling. Probably the most interesting individual I ever met.

According to Rolling Stone, it was Elvis who was the one you are speaking of...

Thanks for a change of pace! Don't hear much of Glen on pirate radio...he was quite an accomplished guitar player!

And chaser of jailbait. He was shacking up with Tanya Tucker when she was 16 and he was old enough to be her Dad.

She was already 18 years old when she met and dated him....the music industry was a hotbed for older musicians and younger women. Just ask the ghost of Jerry Lee....
