I always thought the band was formed in Berkeley and that Tom & John where from Louisiana.
I checked and Bill was right. They were born in Berkeley.

CCR - R&R as it should be. Honest and crystal clear. Great!

I still remember hearing this in my mom's 1962 Buick Skylark, KYES AM radio, Roseburg, Oregon. I kept cranking it up and she'd yell, "Turn that down!" Thanks for the memories, and I don't care how overplayed this is I still dig it.

Fred, I bet you'd like "It Came Out of the Sky." Not so grainy and gritty, but really pretty funny, lyrically. I have ideas for a story based on this song. It might even make a good movie - especially if one were to develop the narrative and the various characters. It's a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end, with lots of potential for expansion. Maybe I'll do THIS for my Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) in November...  |

Check out the recently released remaster; sounds great! |

And if Romeotuna wants to dance to these tracks, he'd better be in good shape :)

Whatever you call it, it is equally offensive. And what/whom do you think he's offended? I mean—besides you? And does the "blackface" remark also apply to, say, Eric Clapton for playing Robert Johnson, Led Zep for playing Howlin' Wolf, or The Beatles for playing The Marvelettes? Does it work the other way? Hendrix shouldn't have played "Hey, Joe," P.M. Dawn "Norwegian Wood," or Living Colour "Jumpin' Jack Flash?" BTW, I was going to write—before tripping over this unfortunate comment—that Doug Clifford's drumming on this song is one of his finer moments. |

Right. I remember thinking I should pick that one up. Thanks for the reminder. |

cosmiclint wrote:If you're referring to the lawsuit Saul Zaentz filed against John for sounding like himself, I don't think it slowed him down any, and he ultimately won the case. Wikipedia provides a good summary: The defendant Fogerty ultimately prevailed, when he showed that the two songs were whole, separate and distinct compositions. Bringing his guitar to the witness stand, he played excerpts from both songs, demonstrating that many songwriters (himself included) have distinctive styles that can make different compositions sound similar to less discerning ears.
After prevailing as defendant, Fogerty sued Zaentz for the cost of defending himself against the copyright infringement. In such (copyright) cases, prevailing defendants seeking recompense were bound to show that the original suit was frivolous or made in bad faith. Fogerty v. Fantasy became precedent when the Supreme Court (1993) overturned lower court rulings and awarded attorneys' fees to Fogerty, without Fogerty having to show that Zaentz's original suit was frivolous.
I love the bit about "less discerning ears." Zaentz died eventually. The record company made up with Fogerty and he is now touring and performing CCR songs again and he sounds as great as ever. Pick up "Revival". It is for all practical purposes, a CCR album, thru and thru. |
