Deadman’s Curve: Bio Clocks High-Octane Life of Jan Berry — An interview with author Mark A. Moore, by Anthony C. Hayes . . . “As the storyteller of one of the most foreboding tunes of the 1960’s, Jan Berry cemented in song the danger of cruising through life at break-neck speed. Yet Berry’s own fierce ride – and resolute return from his personal Dead Man’s Curve – far eclipsed any fictional car race and continues to amaze music fans today.”
