Weaving the saga of the Barrow Gang reminded me of sewing a good old American patchwork quilt — haphazardly. Wherever there was true Arlo Guthrie Americana, there was also the danger of rebellion running through the threads. Bonnie's buoyancy and Clyde's fierce pride — these were the needles used to sew together this story. But, reliable patterns were necessary in fitting the story to a quality shape and size. To the following excellent resources I turned for advice:
