I remember watching this video in 85 when it first came out on MTV, back when MTV was cool. They played rock and metal and no rap and bubble gum BS! We were all metal and hard rock teenagers. When this played it had all of our attention, simply because the voice. We all knew it was the CCR dude, yes John Fucking Fogerty and we all loved it! Man, time passes so quick. Now it's a classic just like me and all my old friends from the 80's! We also grew up as kids in the 70's where some of the best music that was ever written began. If not the 70's rock, there would be no hard rock and metal! kudos to AC/DC and ZZ-top and everything in between.
