Short story:

J.D. Salinger's novel The Catcher In The Rye is first published by Little, Brown And Company in the USA. In 2008, Guns N'Roses will release a song called Catcher In The Rye, in which the song's writer Axl Rose, seems to be questioning why angst-ridden youths, such as Mark Chapman, the murderer of John Lennon, appear to be motivated by Catcher's anti-hero Holden Caulfield. Other songs which clearly relate to the book include If You Really Want To Hear About It by The Ataris, We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? by Green Day and Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie by Belle And Sebastian.
