I have heard that some editions don’t have all the references, it would be a shame to have those taken out imho.

I went looking for a George Thorogood reference (Bad to the Bone) before I realized that was in the movie version of the novel (the opening scenes).

I could of missed some... especially when reading into the wee hours of the morning...

It's probably not in the original book - sometimes directors take liberties when they turn a book into a movie. To be honest I cannot remember, as it's been a while since I read Christine.

I can’t belive he paid for the royalties him shelf, some thing like 15 grand. To bad the new editions do not have the same amount of music in it . I5 adds to the book

....it is a hard and fast rule in most every aspect of the recording industry that the artist(s) be paid royalties for any type of reproduction of their music.....less and less is being used by writers these days, because the fees have become obscenely exorbitant.....
