This is great news. I saw John Fogerty on the Centerfield tour in 1986 or 1988 and it was awesome. Me and my friend were two of the youngest people there and it was a blast. I know he’s been fighting this battle forever and I’m glad to see him win it.
w00t! Waiting for the tour announcement!
Most. Over-Rated. Evah.
I am happy for John and I am happy for us that he can now recreate Credence Clearwater Revival.
There’s a bathroom on the right
And while you're at it, when you write and perform a song and post it on Tik Tok or Youtube, do you still own it or have you sold the song to them for the service of distributing it? Are you sure? Did you read and understand every word in that service agreement you clicked "OK" on?
Good on you, John.
I once met a guy from Lodi, California, and I asked him what he thought of CCR’s ode to the town (”Oh Lord I’m stuck up in Lodi again”). He laughed and said the song was on the playlist of every high school dance there as pretty every teen in town dreams about getting the hell out
Mr. Greed, why you got to own everything that you see?
Mr. Greed, why you put a chain on everybody livin’ free?
You’re hungerin’ for his house, you’re hungerin’ for his wife,
And your appetite will never be denied
You’re a devil of consumption; I hope you choke, Mr. Greed
How do you get away with robbin’?
Did your mother teach you how?
I hear you got away with murder,
Did you do your mama proud?
Mr. Greed, why you got to take more than you can ever use?
Bring ‘em to their knees; isn’t it enough just to win while they lose?
You bring no honor to the game, you feast upon the blood and pain,
But the bones you hoard can only bring you shame
There’s corruption in your path, be that your epitaph, Mr. Greed
How do you get away with robbin’?
Did your mother teach you how?
I hear you got away with murder,
Did you do your mama proud?

Selfishness destroyed a hell of a great group.
They might have surpassed the “Bugs” if they had not got to fighting.
Younger Cop:
And was there anything of value in the car?
The Dude:
Oh, uh, yeah, uh... a tape deck, some Creedence tapes, and there was a, uh... uh, my briefcase.
Younger Cop:
[expectant pause]
In the briefcase?
The Dude:
Uh, uh, papers, um, just papers, uh, you know, uh, my papers, business papers.
Younger Cop:
And what do you do, sir?
The Dude:
I’m unemployed.

John WAS CCR. Prove me wrong.
What’s really crazy is that Grand Funk wants to do a 50th anniversary tour without Mark Farner. That’s pretty insane.
First concert I ever went to was to CCR in Seattle, 1969. (Real people lived there back then. 🙄)
their nickel can’t be beat.
Down on the corner.
