    What was particular about this song was we did walk the cross ties on the old B&M rail line along the Connecticut river, knew a person named Lucien Cody who did have a camp (and a mean ass dog) who lived on River Road and we fished in the Green River. But I’ll bet most people who lived along a major river probably had the same. These tunes were during my late teens and we all worried about the draft and Vietnam. What a waste of life as we now get much of our clothes from Vietnam. Never let a government fool you into war.

Everyone was singing "la la la" as they walked blindly off the cliffs of following the mess my generation was being herded into. But, whenever I heard and found myself enjoying CCR on my car radio? I would become quiet inside. I wondered how they seemed able to escape it all. Excellent heart of America talent. Always their own person. Their own music. Their lives. Thank you CCR!

    Back in the early 90s me n my long time boyfriend, lived in Tennessee. Ccr was one of his favorite bands of all time.we were real young back then,but we'd herd that they were playing a free outdoors gig.we were so excited.we got all packed up ,a blanket to sit on,some beers our dogs of course, and hopped up into our d 3 on the tree ford pick up...well course with our luck back then the dam thing just would not start.we tried everything, all the tricks we knew about it,but still...no luck.Anyhow with great dissapointment, we ended up missing the show ,but did set up our own space out on our farm n listened to the local show on our old radio live instead. It of course wouldn't compare or be by any means the same as in actually being there,but it was the best we could do at the time.
    Chickens and there babies walking around us as we sat on that blanket in the grass and listened and dreamed we were there.No phone back then to try n get a ride from anyone,but it still was a day to remember. I still do.Hes passed on now 5 years actually, and ill always remember that day and what it meant..

    Fogerty had a great poetic gift: flat car riders and cross tie walkers- scans beautifully against the guitars. These would be depression-era veterans taking it easy in the 60s, with great tales to tell. Not to mention the wonderfully strange harmonies in the full versions of Susie Q, grapevine, and the powerful aggression of Fortunate Son. The forgotten three so solid

    This song is an entire vibe. When music becomes an emotional shuttle and transports you to another time and place, almost instantly, it's really good art. Nothing else can do that for you quite like music. The highs and lows one experiences while taking in the music is, in and of itself, a dopamine hit just like a really good drug. This is a timeless masterpiece that will be around far beyond anyone's lives today. If we haven't destroyed ourselves by then, I often ponder what people from the far off future will think about this music.

    Anytime CCR came on the radio when I was a toddler/child it would put me in a trance my Mom said no matter what I was doing I would stop and sit in front of the speaker till it ended. Guess I was destined for a finely tunned ear!!!

    "barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight" has to be one of my favorite lines ever. Makes me fall in love with any girl walking barefoot on the grass
