You Know They Got a Hell of a Band (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! You Know They Got a Hell of a Band is a short story by Stephen King. It was first published in the horror anthology Shock Rock and later included in King's collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes, concerning a young couple on a road trip in Oregon when they accidentally wander into a small town inhabited by late musicians. The title of the work, and the name of the town - Rock and Roll Heaven - both come from the chorus of a Righteous Brothers song, "Rock and Roll Heaven." Clark and Mary Willingham are a young couple traveling through the wooded areas of Oregon. Clark's job as a computer programmer will soon transfer him to another state, so the two opt to travel through the woods of the state. The two plan to visit Tokokee Falls, and Clark insists on taking a road through the deep forest. Mary protests, but Clark is adamant. The two drive off, and eventually become lost on a stretch of bad road.
