Poll question: I fought the law...
Edited on Wed May-11-11 10:20 PM by Riftaxe
Which Generation are you? I have noticed many remakes of songs, and this particular one seems to span generations :)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxmlcTVFvic">The Crickets
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16u0wwCfoJ4">The Clash
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TOVkiBE2r4&feature=related">Green Day

could not locate a disco version, so i suppose the '70's will remain dead in this poll :P

The Mysterious Death Of Bobby Fuller

It's 1966 and a group out of El Paso, Texas calling themselves The Bobby Fuller Four are enjoying considerable success with their recording of "I Fought The Law". The song went all the way to number 9 on the national charts. A follow up record "Loves Made A Fool Of You" (a Buddy Holly cover) reached Number 26 on the charts. Then on July 18th, 1966, Bobby Fuller was found dead in his car, parked in front of his Hollywood apartment. His body was beaten and a gasoline soaked rag was stuffed in his mouth The Los Angeles Police Dept. called it a suicide Those who knew the 23 year old singer, knew better.
