I’m thankful for John Fogerty, the former lead singer of
Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their sound is distinct compared to all of the
bands invading from the United Kingdom at the time. Nothing says American like
a San Francisco band playing Southern Rock and stolen Blues songs. When Fogerty
felt that he was the only one driving the band, he fired all of them and went
solo. Cred.
"Wrote a song for everyone,
except for Doug and Stu,
because I fired those guys."
