      Yeah, it was and still is! John Fogerty couldn't have stay pissed off forever at The Grateful Dead - he did, after all, show up for the Jerry Garcia memorial in Golden Gate Park the weekend after Jerry passed away. I remember Bob Weir introduced him onto the stage. That event was one of the largest public events ever held in G.G. Park and there were no arrests made. No one got rowdy, stupid, too obnoxious; it was all about honoring the memory of The Grateful Dead's frontman. And John Fogerty was part of that too.

    This music will never get old. I remember listening to it in 1969, I was 10 years old. The older boys on our school bus was always talking about music, CCR, The Rolling Stones, Jimmie Hendrix and many more. What a Great time for music.

    • @HamiltonRb
      @HamiltonRb Рік тому +6

      I would have been one of the older boys I suppose, because my first three live concerts I went to was Chuck Berry, Hendrix and the Doors. Hendrix got arrested that afternoon at Toronto airport for possession of drugs, and they held him until the show that night, and with the crowd already at Maple Leaf Gardens waiting, he shows up with the band and tells the crowd “ I guess you all heard what happened today, well lets just have a good time tonight “, and he breaks into Purple Haze. It was a great time for music for sure.

It was a great experience I was 15 years old. When I got back home a week later Wilmington N.C. I raved about how great those bands were and nobody I knew had heard of them yet. The Band was getting airplay for Up on Cripple Creek.

      John never lost a damn thing. There's a reason why CCR only lasted for 6 or 7 years. I read the rest of the band's story and watched them all getting interviewed including John's younger brother Tom who was the drummer for the band. After 6 or 7 years as CCR the rest of the band including Tom Fogerty went to John and asked him to allow them to start taking more of an active role in the band including writing songs. Tom said John responded, "no...this is my band and I write all the songs and lyrics...not you guys...you just play the music I write." If John hadn't been such an egomaniac and had allowed them to play more of an active role CCR would have easily lasted for many many more years. John Fogerty is certainly a gem when it comes to playing some of the best classic rock ever. It's just a damn shame he had to be such an asshole to the rest of the band many years ago.

I'll play just about anything that you put in my hands, that's one of the amazing gifts you get from being raised by musicians! That and these kinds of stories! I've heard a ton of weird and wild ones, nothing quite as awesome as Woodstock tales, but there was good stuff to live through as well!!! Just like these kids who have met and hung out with SOOOOOO many incredible people, I would be babysat by the Ohio players and hanging out with a few from Parliament Funkadelic, and when you're only 5 or 6, this is just normal stuff, you don't understand how great it is until you get older and see how much folks go crazy for certain people, then you realize how lucky you are to have been around things like that your whole life!
      Stuff like that shapes you and what you do, how you view the world, the paths one might take. It's what leads to someone like Patty Mahomes!!!!! Tiger Woods!!! You grow up around greatness, it's just a normal thing, it enables you to be great yourself cause you know that they're just regular people! You have a better knowledge of the fact that anyone can be great if you focus and make different choices.
      It don't hurt to have parents who can make a phone call to producers or scouts, parents who can basically snap their fingers and put you in the spotlight to start a career!!! LOL.
      I LOVE a Canadian band called Walk Off The Earth, they make music vids at home where most of the band lives, surrounded by children! You just KNOW those kids are gonna be musicians, constantly around fun and music and any and EVERY instrument you can imagine!
      Music is supposed to touch your heart and change lives, that's why we love it so much! Music is way more powerful than people know, its likely the best thing humanity has done thus far! The only thing we can be proud of if we meet an alien lifeform, they just may laugh at the rest......

      I was 16 in 1969 and grew up listening to CCR. "Fortunate Son" from "Willy and the Poor Boys" became a powerful anti-war song of that era. Conscription ended just before I turned 18 and so I was spared the horrors of Vietnam and I didn't have serve as my father and grandfather did. I remember them both on ANZAC day. Thanks John.

From Creedence to Black Sabbath to Neil Young, CSNY, E.L.O., Canned Heat, the list goes on and on and on. There are reasons for that that , if you weren't there, you didn't live through it and see it all unfold the way that it did you might not be able to see the whole picture.

    The way John's daughter looks at her father (especially after the song) is worth a million fans. Bless you man and keep playing real music and not the digital noises we hear today.

    The world was a simpler place when this was written. Love me some John Fogerty!

    The music of CCR and J. Fogerty is always a memory of my youth.
