If you actively dislike Creedence Clearwater Revival, then I can never respect anything you have to say about anything.

and anyone seen the ccr woodstock footage? they're like fuckin' merzbow up there.

WRONG. I would be perfectly happy to never hear another note performed by John Fogerty ever, ever again.

I love CCR but I can certainly understand why people wouldn't like them: Fogerty's voice, samey arrangements, tendency to jam aimlessly

You got it.

where can this be seen? (Youtube it...?) its not in the movie.

But yeah, I agree for the most part. CCR totally rule.

While I don't actively hate either of these, I really have no interest in either one.

One song I will allow: The one about Lodi is at least moderately tolerable. That's the highest compliment I can pay, sorry.

Creedence Clearwater Revival live at Woodstock.

b) All members of CCR are guaranteed to go to heaven when they die, thanks to their version of Good Golly Miss Molly.

c) Cosmo is seriously ripped in that Woodstock footage!

Creedence were about the only late-'60s Bay Area band who didn't jam aimlessly. they barely "jammed" at all! two long songs on Cosmo's Factory /= "a tendency"

That's how I feel about Bowie on a bad day.

no, they "get" that ccr sucks

"Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and "Who'll Stop The Rain" are great songs tho.

now you are unbanned. i don't pay enough attention.

Saw that graffiti way back in undergrad days

Chronicle was my introduction to CCR but I don’t own a copy. If I want to listen to them I generally throw on one of their three perfect LPs from 1969.

I still have it, but those three LP's definitely get more play. Willy & The Poor Boys is exhibit A as to why they were more than a singles band - only two songs are on Chronicle, leaving out all but one of the political songs, and IMHO they still hold up as some of the best ever written: "Effigy," "It Came Out of the Sky" and "Don't Look Now."

i was just listening to “it came out of the sky” the other day and it struck me that it’s kind of their attempt at a chuck berry song - and it’s a pretty good one! I bet chuck played it live so least once

The Scientists recorded a great cover of it

nice

GUESS WHO GETS TO SEE JOHN FOGERTY FOR FREE TONIGHT

(I have to work recycling after the show, which I will happily do)

just hoping the thunderstorms don't get too bad

"Travelin' Band" is ace fake Little Richard

it is the best fake Little Richard!

^The publishers of "Good Golly Miss Molly" threatened to sue, so Saul Zaentz bought the publisher.

SZ was definitely an asshole, but you have to admit that was a baller move.

even a stopped clock etc

Never knew that, but Allen Klein did something similar with George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and the Chiffon's "He's So Fine": Harrison and The Beatles had previously fired Klein and Harrison had offered the label that owned the rights to "He's So Fine" a 40% share of royalties to "My Sweet Lord" when they threatened to sue. Klein bought the label and they sued Harrison and won.

well, I never knew that abt Harrison!!

I had a bored night in law school researching lawsuits involving famous musicians. One of my favorites was Penny Valentine suing Dylan for defamation for the lyrics to Hurricane, alleging that he depicted her as part of a police conspiracy to frame Ruben Carter.

even a stopped clock etc

John Fogarty said SZ was a great manager, did some brilliant things. That wasn't the problem....

he put on a great show btw, even though thunderstorms cut the set by 30 minutes. 'Effigy' and 'Long As I Can See The Light" were especially moving. He's got his son on guitar these days. The rhythm section did good with 'Keep On Chooglin' and he seemed in good spirits about having his songs back.

young kurt learning how to grunge by playing along with CCR...

nirvana could have done an awesome "pagan baby".

didn't know kurdt played a univox!

I don't remember when I first heard them, but I already had an impression of their style when I was listening to a radio countdown of best albums ever sometime in the 80s. The DJ announced, "next, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cosmos Factory" and I thought, I didn't know they ever did space rock.
