Bootleg

Trenchant commentary on human nature, the marketplace and the law from John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival circa 1969.


Take you a glass of water
Make it against the law
See how good the water tastes
When you can't have any at all 

For some related observations on this topic see Bruce Yandle on Baptists and Bootleggers

  1. Well, due to age-old basic human nature selfserving special intertest parties often proceed and succeed at the expense something and not always for the greater good. CCR sang this best, albeit admitedly I got seriously lost in musical nostalgia! The "B & B" article is well said. dm
