RIP, Saul Zaentz, CCR's manager and the man who feuded with John Fogerty, over claims that JF plagiarized himself.

Saw John Fogerty last night (he don't have a page on here), as he is touring with ZZ Top (Blues and Bayous Tour). Both were great. John of course played mostly CCR tunes, which was fine with me and everyone else. We were all prepared anyway, along with a few of John's own songs such as "Centerfield" and a song he wrote with Brad Paisley. Like most rock stars from the 60s and 70s, his voice no longer had the high-pitch, but still he did everything he could to make it all happen. John had every veteran stand up, and everyone else stood up in respect while he did a great tribute song to the vets. John's daughter came on stage and gave him a Father's Day gift, and one of his sons (looked about 20-something) played guitar the whole time. (ZZ Top were great too, the first two times I've seen them were a bit weak but this time around they were full of energy)

John Fogerty should be the presenter for The Guess Who.

American Woman by The Guess Who could have been a Creedence Clearwater Revival song.
