Now he reveals how he brought CCR to number one in the world, eclipsing even the Beatles in 1969. By the next year, though, Creedence was falling apart; their amazing, enduring success exploded and faded in just a few short years.FORTUNATE SON takes readers from Fogertys Northern California roots, through Creedences success and the retreat from music and public life, to his hard-won revival as a solo artist who finally found love. First off, Fogerty is a stone genius, pure and simple. Any rock and roll fan will tell you that. His book takes you through his song writing process, sometimes in detail, where most rock and roll memoirs only scratch the surface. Fascinating stories dealing with how he came up with those classic songs. And how, when he was a kid, how music enveloped his soul and being, becoming at an early age, a kind of musical savant.But the nuts and bolts of his story turn sordid with the unfortunate early business relationship with the evil, crooked Saul Zaentz, who would bilk millions out of Fogerty. Shady off shore investments with mafia connections, coupled with a young twenty something CCR signing away their royalties. And the fact remains, Zaentz was able to own Fogertys publishing forever due to his soulless blood sucking. Can you imagine, being John Fogerty and writing all those great classic songs, and some old spineless executive who had nothing to do with creating them, sits back and collects millions of dollars from them? And then your three band mates , who also got swindled by Zaentz, take his side against you, one of them being your brother. Sweet Jesus.Stu Cook and Doug Clifford have to be the two stupidest guys ever. Besides being mediocre musicians where Fogerty often had to spoon feed them their parts, they get rich off Fogertys writing, arranging and producing all those hits. They then decide that they want to be afforded the chance to write and sing their own songs. Fogerty knows this is career suicide but gamely allows them the chance. So Cook and Clifford fumble their way through their own awful songs, even trying to enlist Fogertys help when they cant come up with even one decent song. Quicker than you can say I told you so, CCR implodes, and dum dum boys Cook and Clifford scratch their hand saying what just happened? And then they have the gall to sue Fogerty for back royalties when their contributions were nil. Amazing.Fogerty is betrayed by these sad excuses for people at every turn but somehow manages to persevere at the end. Of course, it comes at a price to his mental and physical well being for a few years, but he luckily meets a good woman to help straighten out.As a final footnote, that crook Zaentz lives comfortably into his nineties on CCR money and Cook and Clifford continue to tour as Creedence Clearwater Revisited.Meh.
