Fogarty’s still going strong. I need to do some research on why this California boy got so into bayou stories that could have been told on a stoop in a parish in James Lee Burke country.
CCR. The Doors. Jefferson Airplane. Grand Funk Railroad. Soundtrack of my four years in the service way back then.
Friday night is Beer Night at my house (and what a night it is!) and I generally delve deep into my pre-1964 graveyard of tunes to soothe my booze-smoothed brain. CCR is one of the rare latter day exceptions I allow into my comfortable reverie. Fogerty was a true rocker.
(Can you spot the really cool assonance in this note?)
Great song. And another great one on the B side of the 45. Fortunate Son.
Can you have two A sides? Boy CCR really cranked out the hits for a while.

I guess we all have Greatest Hits albums of our lives. Nothing like a song to recall a time and a place.
Thanks, B-Man.

Heading out. Be joining you in a cold one in 25 minutes.
” soothe my booze-smoothed brain? ”
Isn’t that a line from John Lee Hooker’s ” House Rent Blues: One Bourbon, one scotch, one beer? ”
Which George Thorogood covered nicely.
Li’l em kel – Born to be bad assonance
One of my all time favorite bands! Great post Gerry!
