Someday, the Rolling Stones (even Keef) will be dead, and these guys will be the last mega-star rock band from the days when rock was the dominant popular music. I listened to the Joshua Tree the other day, and it's still like getting tossed around by a cyclone, even almost 30 years later. Kind of like the Simpsons,

Yes, in the sense that moonshine/white lightnin' is illegally made, while this liquor is surely made in accordance with the laws. But moonshine is traditionally made as whiskey (hence the use of "corn squeezins"); it just doesn't get aged in a barrel that imparts the dark color to the liquid. To my knowledge, all
