Was he killed by Dillinger? Did he really exist? What's the story? Thanks for your help, again, once more. Bruce Murdoch |

In the DVD "Classic Albums - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" (released by Eagle Rock Entertainment) he says about the song: "Danny Bailey is John Dillinger, or Pretty Boy Floyd... He is my composite gangster. I just love creating characters!" |
