This song is a total rip of I Fought The Law (he even mentions Bobby Fuller in one of my least favorite songs of all time, R.O.C.K. - it's beneath him), but a fine example of "Making It Your Own".
There's nothing new under the sun, and rock and roll is a limited form, the "theft" has to come from somewhere, and I don't think JM would deny that this is an IFTL twin.
at least it's not as bad as The Eagles trying to pass off The Long Run (the song)as "original" (from what I understand, Bob Seger - a friend of the band - covered "Tryin' To Live My Life Without You" just to make that point lol).
