Also, as I would say to Olly, let me drop some math: Executioner's Song > Shot in the Heart Boom!

There's a name to hang your hat on. Incidentally, his brother Mikal's book, Shot in the Heart, is probably the best book ever to come out of Oregon. (Yes, Mr. Kesey, I know you're in the room. If you see Norman Mailer let him know I'm hatin' on him next.) Oh yeah, Gary Gilmore. There’s a name to hang your hat on.
