Of course, all the books purchased in Berkeley are read in Berkeley... Why can't we conclude from the sales data that the people in Berkeley aren't just the best Gift Givers of Books????
Strange that the article makes no mention of the original composer of the song, Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith who wrote the song in 1955 and won a landmark infringement suit for not been given any credit (or compensation) when the song appeared in the movie.
The person they should have put on this list is Edward Bunker, who spent most of his life in and out of Prison and whom Danny Trejo met in Folsom Prison. It was Edward Bunker that co-wrote the screenplay for(and acted in) RUNAWAY TRAIN. He was also in THE LONG RIDERS, was Mr. Blue in RESERVOIR DOGS and others.
He was the youngest inmate ever at San Quentin when he was 17 years old. This is a guy who really turned it around and was most likely the guy who gave Trejo his break on RUNAWAY TRAIN not some unknown production assistant.
