Double Zero
Bruce Springsteen's song Nebraska tells the events of the bleak January of 1958 in Lincoln, Nebraska, when 19-year-old Charles Starkweather went to his girlfriend's house and murdered her parents and two-year-old sister. Starkweather and the 14-year-old Caril Ann Fulgate hung around for six days before they took off on a 500-mile murder spree. Seven people ended up dead along the way to Wyoming. When caught, Starkweather said Caril was his accomplice; she said she was his hostage. He died in the electric chair. She went to prison and was released in 1976.
Other artists found in Starkweather's story the shadow side of America's open road. Stephen King remembered "the very first time I saw a picture of him, I knew I was looking at the future. His eyes were a double zero ..."
