CCR is blowing my mind right now, I know I'm wrong but tonight their 4 records from the 60s sound better to me than anything the beatles, stones or doors did in that decade.

Having a revisit to Willy & The Poor Boys this week! I think "It Came Out Of The Sky" could be one of the best rock songs of the sixties.

Love this band. "Willy the Poor Boys" is still my favorite, but it especially gets a lot of play around election time thanks to "It Came Out of the Sky," "Don't Look Now," "Fortunate Son" and "Effigy." Fogerty wrote some the sharpest political commentary in rock, maybe the best before the punk era.

Someone in the official Tom Fogerty FB group shared this photo of the band from October 1980, at Tom’s wedding. They played a few songs that night, first CCR performance since 1972. First quartet performance since 1970, and the last ever. pic.twitter.com/bPRCKWn6Q2— John Lingan (@johnlingan) May 24, 2020
You stare at this photo and ask yourself, “Could John Fogerty possibly improve upon this look? Could he more effectively convey that it’s 1980?” And the clouds part and a beam of heavenly light delivers you this. pic.twitter.com/Py944VxSrz— John Lingan (@johnlingan) May 24, 2020

lol. I remember that moment when being a kid when I was old enough to borrow books from the adult section of the library and noticed that some of the more popular blockbusters in the 7-Days Only section had a strong smell to them which it took me quite a long time to identify as cigarette odor.

I just had a brief flick through some Tom solo tracks, 'harmless' is what I take away from his post-Creedence career.

Pretty remarkable the vibe they work up on Bayou with just a tremolo effect on the guitar and a single 7th chord. Guess that’s a testament to the rhythm section

A lot of it comes directly from Pop Staples, no? Which I believe may be discussed upthread.

Apparently there’s a 2016 thriller film called midnight special starring Michael Shannon and Kirsten dunst???. “Shannon plays a father who escapes with his son from both the government and a cult after they discover that his son has special powers.l”
