Written by Stan Rogers and released on his first album Fogerty’s Cove.\u00a0 I like it as sung by David Littlefield; it’s more folk and which leaves out the country-music-sound Stan leans towards in his album.\u00a0 Although Stan wrote from the perspective of the Canadien Maritimes, I’ve family in Maine who share the same thoughts as their local fishing businesses and working towns are rendered obsolete by large companies “from away” that put profits before morals, engage in massive fishing aided by large technologies, and deplete the area before moving on.\u00a0 Much like Walmart does on land.<\/p>\n
