#to create the Legend

[jerrylewis-thekid]

Jerry said in an interview in the 70s that he caused the breakup, because he was tired of seeing Dean constantly sidelined by journalists and that his father had advised him to "break up" Martin & Lewis when their star was still high in the sky. Jerry has given dozens of different reasons for their separation, even if that "why we broke up, I don't know" said at Dean's birthday in 1989 seems sincere to me but those two were actors. However, Jerry's father's reasoning could be true. As I have already written many times, tragedy is remembered, not comedy.

Jerry said that comedy and tragedy were two different sides of the same coin and as an old man he wore black slippers with Greek masks of comedy and tragedy embroidered on them. I know that after more than seventy years people still talk about them. Jerry wanted to "dead" Martin and Lewis when they were still "young" to make the couple immortal. More than other comic couples.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were great but they don't touch your heart like Martin & Lewis do. Same thing for Abbott and Costello (who is Abbott, who is Costello? Never figured out). All the other comedy couples that ever existed don't break your heart like Martin & Lewis, because Dean and Jerry, together, had that magic that only the word "love" can explain. And no, they couldn't have stayed together for much longer, at most until 1960. Not beyond. The basic concept of their working collaboration was "Adonis and the Kid", "Sex and Slapstick", their comedy was too physical. But Dean was nine years older than Jerry, physically he was no longer the Adonis of the 40s. He no longer had the strength to pick up Jerry who had grown up in the meantime.

Physically he was no longer thin, his shoulders had broadened. He no longer looked like a kid. Can you imagine Jerry in the mid-60s, so manly, so virile, with shoulders that had become broader than Dean's in the mid-60s (who in turn had lost a lot of weight) still acting like a baby with Dean, jumping into his arms, kissing him, and all the rest? It would have seemed really, really gay.

And they would have looked ridiculous. And to not look ridiculous they would have had to completely change their style of comedy but by doing that they would no longer be Martin & Lewis. Stan and Oliver, with all due respect, were not handsome, they never were. Their comic role was that of two children, one of whom, Oliver, thought he was smarter than Stan and then realized that it wasn't true. Those two could continue to be Stan and Oliver for their entire lives, until their deaths precisely because they were not physically handsome. Oliver and Costello were the same thing. There was no chemistry between them. None. Dean and Jerry were on another level. And they themselves could not replicate themselves when they were young. And so the "premature death" of the couple made them immortal.

Day 47– The Lightning Temple

That giant unearthed mausoleum is rife with treasure! And horrors. Mostly horrors.

History is a wheel that spins slightly different each round.
