Virtue-signaling, earring-wearing dyed-hair a-hole. IIRC, the other 3 members of CCR, including his brother Tom, kinda hated the guy.

“Virtue-signaling, earring-wearing dyed-hair a-hole. IIRC, the other 3 members of CCR, including his brother Tom, kinda hated the guy.”

Tom Fogerty quit the band a year before the other two founding members walked out on John. The brothers barely spoke until just before Tom died in 1990. John still blames Tom for the problems that caused them to stop speaking.

When CCR was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame John refused to perform with Stu and Doug, instead playing CCR songs with Bruce Springsteen and other stars.
That was particularly hard on Tom’s widow who had brought his ashes to the event expecting some recognition for him. Instead it was turned into the John Fogerty show.
The other two founding members, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, to this day state they will never again work with John.

Over the years John has sued anyone and everyone who has used CCR songs in ads, always losing.
A class A asshole through and through.
