I never realized John Fogerty was prophetic.

The lyrics of "Bad Moon Rising" were spot on for America.

I see a bad moon rising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin'. I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a blowing. I know the end is coming soon. I fear rivers over flowing. I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Well don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.

Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we're in for nasty weather. One eye is taken for an eye.

Well don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.

Don't come around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.

While I was growing up I thought he was singing about the bad moon on the right.

And then there is that song about the one ton tomato.

I’d be betting on hitting the bong early.

I just referenced my other favorite one on another thread, from “Groovin’”

“Life would be ecstasy/You and me, and Leslie.”

Way too general to be consider prophetic.

Predicting war is a no brainer. Predicting *when* and *how* is a different matter.
