Full-On SMF Posts: 77 Location: Hull	I'm currently reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series of books, just started Wolves of Calla. On the way to work today I was playing my iPod on shuffle in the car and Desperado's Son of a Gun came on, here I am singing along to the lyrics like I have for years, and then it occurred to me what I was singing! "Born To Face The Dark Alone, By His Father's Guns He'll Right The Wrong, Following The Man In Black, Through The Desert, To The Tower And Back". I never realised this song was about these books!! Did anyone else? Great books by the way, highly recommended!
