Just over 50 years ago, THE BOBBY FULLER FOUR recorded the smash hit "I Fought the Law." Fuller, who grew up in El Paso, didn't get a chance to revel in his success - at the age of 23 he was found dead in the front seat of a car doused in gasoline outside his Hollywood apartment.   Louie talks with Miriam Linna, who co-wrote "I Fought the Law: The Life and Strange Death of Bobby Fuller" with Bobby's brother Randell.
