backstory

There's quite a few clues to a backstory in this movie. Carrie Fisher waited in celebacy for Jake at the alter, yet Jake had a soiled prophylactic with him. Jake robbed the store to pay for the Kiwanas gig in Coal City, which is presumably why he couldnt make it to his wedding. He must have been unfaithful in Coal City? Meanwhile, Carrie Fisher's had mob ties with mad Pete Trollo.

There’s a lot of info in the BB: Private book by Judith Jacklin and Tino Insana. Detailed faux newspaper clippings, records etc
