Letter: Divine law

Published 2 May 1998

From David Boocock

After reading about Divine solicitor-hiring (Feedback, 18 April), I feel that
I can contribute something to the question of God’s legal representation. I was
immediately drawn to my CD collection (I use them for listening to—see
“uses of CDs”, same issue), where I found the answer.

Last year, a band called Eels released a single called Novocaine for the
soul, which had in it the following lines: “Life is white and I am black;
Jesus and his Lawyer are coming back.”
