I Fought the Law

The song “I Fought the Law” by the Bobby Fuller Four reached number
9 on the Billboard Charts in the week of March 12, 1966. Just
months later, Bobby Fuller was found dead. The mystery of what
happened to him has been called “the rock and roll version of John
F. Kennedy’s assassination.” We speak with Miriam Linna and
Dalton Powell. We made a special playlist of music discussed
in this episode. Learn more in Miriam Linna and Randell Fuller’s
book, I Fought the Law: The Life and Strange Death of Bobby Fuller.
