Jim Dawson(IV)
Jim Dawson has written extensively about American pop culture,
particularly early rock 'n' roll and Hollywood films. Elements of his
1980 article on Ritchie Valens in the Los Angeles Times were used in
the 1987 rock 'n' roll biography, "La Bamba." He also wrote the
mini-documentary "Bunker Hill, Los Angeles" for the Criterion
Collection's 2011 DVD/Blu-Ray release of the 1955 classic detective
film "Kiss Me Deadly."
