For later
Yeah, I like that about as much as born in the usa. 😂👍
I’m not satisfied with it either. Stop playing it.
Fogerty did great guitar!
Not fancy, but unforgettable riffs..
John “took over” the SiriusXM Classic Vinyl channel the entire week of the 4th. He may have some liberal leanings but he’s a good American patriot, like the kind many of us remember growing up with when you didn’t have to see every issue the same way to be friends with someone.
The band signed a horrible contract when they started out and John just recently finally got the rights to his own songs back, and he performs them now with his kids. Worth a listen.
An interesting comment he made - his most played song on Spotify with over 2 billion plays is “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”. There’s also a remixed version by some German guy on YouTube.
great song. every garage band i was in played CCR. as the son of blue collar/enlisted man who fought in 3 wars, i relate to that song more and more every year that goes by.
I hated “Fortunate Son” from the first time I heard it in i970. I also hated “American Woman” by the Guess Who, which went to #1 a couple months later. It made me despondent to know that so many Americans were buying records that run down our country.

Funny story: John was in a supermarket shopping in the 80s when he heard Fortunate Son on the speaker.
The song sounded somewhat off to his ear. He was confused.
Come to find out it was a cover of Fortunate Son by Bob Seger from the Like A Rock album.
It’s a great cover by Seger!
SHUTUP AND PLAY
And if you’re done playing get off the stage!
Realize it is basically a lefty song (maybe less so lately), but it’s a great song and a fantastic record. IYKWIM.
I think he’s right. Double tracking would’ve smoothed out the
screaming.
