I never needed to alter my mind to enjoy great music, or to get a natural high. I have see countless lives ruined by drug use, including my brother's. It is a misconception that everyone in the 60's did drugs, or stayed stoned all the time.

[@ptournas]

They're a great band and broke some records on the charts, but not quite the most popular from '67 to 70. First of all their first recording wasn't released until the middle of 1968. Suzie Q was their first hit around that time reaching #11 on the charts. I Put a Spell on You hit #58 in the same year and it wasn't until the beginning of '69 that they got into the top ten with I Heard It Through The Grapevine. That year they released 3 albums and one hit #1 for 4 weeks, the Beatles released 2 albums and one hit #1 four 9 weeks and the other hit #1 for 17 weeks. Led Zepplin released 2 albums and one hit #1 for 7 weeks. List's of most popular artists of any year usually don't agree because they use different methods of determining popularity, but for most record sales do play a big part. As great as Creedence was, and they did have a lot of sales, but they weren't the biggest in total sales for any of those years. In 1969 it was The Beatles. However, Creedence and CSN were always among my top favorites in that time period.

[@robertmiller2633]

Yup. they were the american Beatles

[@sometimeslyrical]

John WAS seeing things. He was recalling coming home from a tour to be with his family, and spending time with his imaginative three-year-old son. His son was so enthusiastic and descriptive, it inspired John. The lyrics to "Lookin' Out My Back Door" capture a special moment when John was seeing through his little boy's eyes. Picture Luca at 3 years old and what his nascent and pure imagination will create, or recall some experiences you've had as parents listening to your daughters when they were younger, and you'll understand the lyrics to this song completely. There's nothing more wondrous than a child's imagination... except our own, when we let ourselves see as children can.

[@ptxlvr7150]

Wonderfully put. There are so many of us that have either forgotten what that life was like, or they are too young to remember. Those old ways now mocked and made fun of. But it is remembering those animals in high heeled shoes that we or our children/grandchildren used to play with that shows us what true happiness and love is. Those old ways may seem so stupid to most people these days, My son is 16 and autistic, so he wold love this song. Excuse me while I play it for him. Because I too had forgotten how great those time are.

As for what Creedence Clearwater Revival song you should listen to next, I'm going to recommend my favorite CCR song (which I've already suggested a few times). It may not be one of their big hits, but it is such a beautiful song and I know you guys will love it. The song is "Long As I Can See the Light." I know there are others like me who very much love the song, but it never really gets the attention it deserves, so I hope you'll react to it.

[@GeorgeBratcherIII]

It's funny John Fogerty was writing this song about his son's 3-year-old imagination, because I was 2 and heard it on the radio and always loved hearing it, and thought of our home on an acre in between cornfields in on Bacon Creek Rd in Glendale just outside of Elizabeth town KY where Mom had her trailer. It was always on the radio and could remember hearing it riding down the road in my Mom's car before my brother was born. So 2 year old me loved the song John had written for his son and his imagination! I am 54 now and so it's wild that this song can be remembered from when it was first released in 1970 when I was only 2 years old! I was also old enough to know who Buck Owens was from watching Hee-Haw on TV at just 2 years old!
