John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) - Grammy Museum Interview

[@loqutisborg5416]

Been a fan of Mr. Fogerty and CCR since I was 9 years old. I'll be 63 in a couple of months. John Fogerty and CCR saved me from suicide when I was in my early teens. Just read his book. It's an eye opener. When I listen to John Fogerty and CCR, the whole neighborhood listens as well. Keep on rockin' John. Love ya, man.

[@zartamus]

Everybody wish to be in your neighborhood to listen this wonderful peace of Music-Art - Thanx

[@1rwjwith]

I guess Zaentz and his minions thought they could own an E7 chord! John Fogerty is a GIANT of songwriting love this interview. Thanks.

[@MsSmitty9]

I’ve been listening to CCR since the beginning. When my son came along, when he was six years old I took him to see John Fogerty in Boston. My Son had a White Red Sox Jersey on I managed to get tickets in the sixth row in the middle. At the end of the first song ( Born on the Bayou) John tipped his hat, saluted, and bowed to my son. Immediately my son started to jump up-and-down yelling dad he said hi to me dad he said hi to me and tears of joy started running down his face. Me and my Late Brother Michael were floored. I can never thank John Fogerty enough for what he did for my son. It’s something none of us will ever forget. John Fogerty , you are a great human being. Thank you so much. And one last thing , thank you So much Julie Fogerty for coming along and Thawing John out. God Bless both of You. 🙏

Youre thanking his wife? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[@MsSmitty9]

@ obviously you don’t know the whole story. Do some research.

@@MsSmitty9 LOLOLOL, you thanked his wife?

John Fogerty is an all American legend

[@donnalynn3589]

I love John Fogerty and all the songs that he sings. And even though he looks good at his current age, I always loved his gap tooth in the early CCR days. 🥰

[@stuberty]

Agreed. He was gorgeous in his youth!

[@p.turtle2085]

John, you lived and continue to live your vocation and you always remained true to your calling. I see so many similarities with you and the late great Tom Petty. It's all about the music.

[@dayalanvelan3070]

Forever a true legend and master . God Bless Fogerty

[@marleneoverstrom7047]

I have loved this Band n John for years. I have said many times this is my favorite band ever....

[@nicidevine6670]

I love ❤️ the song 🎶

[@markscrivener1951]

Fantastic interview! Happy 50th anniversary John!

[@jackpack3506]

Love his energy and music! Takes me back to teenage years and great Rock and Roll soundtrack of my life!

[@KenTeel]

John's playing in this video, clearly shows his blues orientation. Swamp Rock, the title, doesn't quite get at the root of what motivated John. Also, in this interview, you can see that John is not a Hollywooder. He's real. He's articulate, humble, and down home. He's a great advertisement for the East Bay. He's minus the appearance of schmooze. PS: John, don't apologize for being articulate. Your explanations were full, clear, and interesting. If I remember right, your mom was a teacher. Maybe you got some of your communication skills from her? That's what good teachers have: the ability to simplify, clarify, and make concepts accessable to people. PS to the PS: I saw Creedence as a three peice band, at the Oakland Coloseum. Tower Of Power and Tony Joe White, were on the bill, too. You rocked the house. Everyone was eventually out of their chairs. I still remember that sequened waist coat, shining in the stage lights, that you were wearing. You, were a one man hurricane. Great memory. I'm amazed. I can't do with ten chords, what you do with three. That's talent !

[@rayross997]

John's crime was sounding like himself. So glad for him that he won. He's a national treasure.

[@roseblake5803]

So sorry when CCR broke up. All together they were phenomenal.

[@allymayful]

But personality wise, they were made up of 1 man and 3 woosers, who couldn't honour, and realise how bloody privileged they were, to be able to work with such a creative genius.

[@delanoarts3703]

Yes ccr is my favorite old band but if you hear John's story he gave them every opportunity to write songs he asked them every jam which was every day so any of you got anything and they never did so he did his songs that why he became the leader when they got famous they got upset just such dumb people they were in ccr and got paid the same money john did they never had to do anything just play that's there instrument and they were were playing hits in fact the biggest songs in rock there all famous but there ego's

[@rowanparmiter7622]

John Fogerty and Tom Petty stood on principle regardless of the financial cost: I respect these guys beyond words. And make no mistake, they *are men of principle.*

[@dynjarren8355]

Good questions! I learned some things I never knew about. I always wondered why he sounded like he was from the South. Reincarnation is something I never considered before but now it sounds about right. It can’t be explained otherwise. He finally went to Mississippi to see it and check the roots of the Blues.

If John fogerty ever reads these comments lol I just wanted to say I watched your Woodstock stuff and honestly its AMAZING you guys were incredible if that was a bad ccr show a good one must of blew heads off there shoulders the actual band ccr was incredible I know you wrote the songs but the original band played them the best your band was one of the greatest in history and that has a lot to do with other guys I have yet to see a video of ANYONE ELSE play your songs as good as ccr and I love you john fogerty but not even you with your new bands play them as good as ccr p.s just wanted to get off my chest from a nobody to a legend

[@udoduckwitz8767]

I'm very interested over why John always sings Proud Marry using Brookline accent for the words "turning" and "burning". I hear "toyning, and boyning" very NYC like accent. fascinating

Jimi played to around 40,000 people, but it was formerly 400,000 people. so it may look empty, but his 'Jimi plays Berkley' is filmed before 2 ,500 people. I still think CCR should've been in the film. at the very least, on the album.

It is flipping great to see my Celtic cousin John has not gown a day older, when I get a job that pays better money I am going to save hard then bring my money down to the guitar shop and will by me a guitar just like cousin John plays, I will learn to play that guitar, write and sing some songs just like cousin John did. Has anyone ever noticed That John and Rory Gallagher have/had great taste in top quality workman check shirts

this 'lawsuit' was so ridiculous, you'd think the robed men at the very top of our justice system could see that a man was being sued for writing his own songs.

[@NSABF]

Very interesting to hear from giants like Fogerty how songs might arise.

[@sveinsigurdgismarvik4445]

John is number 1 in his field of music.

[@chip1347]

Love everything CCR did. I saw them in 1970 at Madison Square Garden. They were great, though throughout their sets all songs were done exactly to the record! If the song was 3 minutes 12 seconds that’s what you got? Fast forward to around mid to late 90s Poughkeepsie Civic Center…. Blue Moon Swamp Tour. Smaller venue , great show, BUT NO CCR😢 Sad they split but I’ve got to give his original band mates a lot of credit….they gelled with each other with the same magic as the greatest rockers of the era.

[@tonym994]

BTW, folks, Walter Brennan ,who played in so many southern and Western pictures was ironically born in Lynn, Massachusetts. can't get more Eastern than that. I hope John reads this, because it relates to exactly what he's saying about the southern thing. he mentions Bo Diddley, and I saw Bo open for CREEDENCE at Boston Garden . he was great. '72, I think

[@joeobrien196]

I think Robert Johnson’s songs are or were owned by a company called King of Spades Music.

I don't care what anyone says. _Eye of the Zombie_ is a fucking great album.

[@delanoarts3703]

Lol if john ever reads these from nobody I wanted to say truly ccr was in the top 5 of greatest bands in history and I know enough to understand why you hate stue BUT if you believe in God you should forgive stue for just one last show before he dies of cancer its terrible the things you had to endure but for your fans and a going away gift most important God you should give stue one last great show his final thrill before he dies p.s you have the right to hate him but for respect of what ccr was and the memories of good times give stue one last show his last time ever before he leaves earth

[@johnnyneverletmedown53]

You are talking about Doug, right? Stu is in good health, Doug has battled the big C. I endorse your ideas however, they should drop it all for a couple of concerts, one in Berkeley, one in maybe New Oreleans, maybe New York/Woodstock. Millions would stream in to this. But it would have to be soon I think. Unfortunately.

[@Dulcimerist]

It would be so nice to see them get together. John and Doug are on speaking terms, just working out details for merchandising. There had been rumors that they were invited to reunite to play something for the 2020 inauguration, but obviously that didn't materialize. If they did reunite for something, I would probably go into a shock-induced coma for several hours.

[@tenlittleindians]

How about doing the TV show Songland? It's a terrible show mostly because of it's narrow view of what a good song is. I would jump at the chance to write a song for your consideration.

LOL, ok Bernie Taupin, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
