PERSPECTIVES: I Fought the Law: The Life and Strange Death of Bobby Fuller

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.

Aired May 30 & 31, 2015
