John wrote and sang all the classic tunes, but got ripped off for the rights to his own material. It's a glorified tribute band posing as the real thing.

Some guy walks into the bar celebrating something cool that happened to him, and you're there to point out how pointless it all is, and remind him that this happiness is just a fleeting moment in a world of misery. Wait a second. You're 'tickle me emo'. |

CCR is one of my earliest musical memories. They're a local group, went to the same high school (although separated by a few decades), and John Fogerty was/is a musical hero of mine and was part of why I got into music to begin with.
Was being loyal to him by reminding the world that he's getting ripped off by his former bandmates.

I find it ironic that you talk about Fogerty getting ripped off and your sig quotes Bankrobber by The Clash  |

Sure it would be cool to meet the original lineup, but talking to experienced musicians doing difficult travel and playing is still cool.
