Why did I care about that? There were times I would bust out laughing at some remark or something he did, and in the last third of the book, I cried so often. The autobiography of John Fogerty. Thank you, John and Julie for this offering. That was the same weekend that Phil Everly passed away. They would have been smart to stay on the gravy train. Jan 08, Roy Gilbert rated it it was ok. Kind of like in the movie Them! There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Right about this time, I noticed my dad down in the front yard of our house, which was just across the street. And ultimately what you got twenty years down the road was a rich white feminist like Anna Quindlen the scrappy little underdog with the Ivy League degree waving a soiled and tattered anti-war flag while sneering that the troops in Desert Storm were "not smart, not rich, not directed enough for college. Read more I started dancing, and to illustrate the lyric I made my eyes bug out while I rubbed my naked tummy. Fogerty demonstrated in the courtroom, the difference between his two songs. None of us had any trouble that way, really. If he had just picked better bandmates who were just as driven as he was, he may have had a different experience. Fogerty has written 'Proud Mary' and 'Down on the Corner' Really disappointing. But John takes too long to tell the tale and tells it too many times.

His process, focus, and influences touched that part of me. It's an interesting read, but it works best as a cautionary tale for anyone considering saving expenses by forgoing proper legal advice and counsel. I'd sit between them and sometimes sing along. The folks in church got a big kick out of this bouncy, diaper-wearing baby belting out "Shoe-Fly Pie. El Cerrito certainly stamped a different view on me than what some hustling street kid in New York City would have gotten, or a songwriter growing up in Nashville. I chose to listen to the audiobook, thinking it would be most interesting to hear the musician read his own words. They're in a hurry. Stu had never even picked up a bass before John decided he should switch instruments, so it's no wonder he had a tough time making it work. John took a sabbatical and lived in Denmark for a year. I felt so conflicted after I read it that I could not bring myself to write a review. Everything I was doing was alcoholic.

I think I would've liked the book better if I had read it instead of opting to listen to the audiobook. Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music Reviews I really enjoyed the beginning part, where he outlined his musical journey. I mean, he's probably right that he was smarter and more talented than the other guys in Creedence, but it's really clear that he let them know it. I am glad that John found true love with his second wife and that they both are so happy. He went through what may be the worst fleecing of an artist outside of the Delta blues guys who were fleeced relentlessly by the Chess brothers, to Zeppelin, to yes, Willie Dixon. It was as if they avoided the press. Therefore, it seems he was right. I look back now and see that, yeah. The man was delusional. Mar 20, Debbie rated it it was ok Shelves: autobiography-memoir , nonfiction. Why, why, why? Jun 10, Scott Smith rated it really liked it. Because I could relate to John and his story, I found renewed life in me. Everything matters. They suffered under a corrupt manager and record company. Both my regular teacher and my music teacher would take note that I was somehow harmonizing — and knew what sounded right. Gufstafson would come in and teach music for an hour once a week or so. At the same time, I figured it would be cool to learn more about him, his life, and CCR. Close the menu. Aug 31, Patti rated it it was ok. Man, I'm not even that old but I lived in a different time. It was an interchangeable phrase. He keeps eluding to her showing him the light and being so smart but she doesn't come off that way in her sections in the book. He's the virtuoso and the creator. The other 3 were, at best, a decent bar band. Officer Ray Morris was the local police officer. I'm sure his wife is a wonderful person which makes me reluctant to point out that his description of her during his courtship and marriage doesn't mesh with the gushing portrayal he sets up early on.

He rode a three-wheel motorcycle — a memorable thing, for sure. Mavis Staples and Mary J. A very interesting story of John Fogerty. What money they earned they did not even get to keep because, you guessed it, their shady management persuaded the band to put all their money in a suspicious sounding bank in the Bahamas.

I remember that he started jumping up and down, almost like dancing, arms waving in the air. Next to the drive-in was an old adobe building called the Adobe Restaurant. Oct 03, J. And various monster movies that my mom wouldn't let me go see! I am glad The autobiography of John Fogerty. But it happened. Fogerty may be my biggest influence as a guitar player.

  • America's Changing Mirror: How Popular Music Reflects Public
    AMERICA’S CHANGING MIRROR: HOW POPULAR MUSIC REFLECTS PUBLIC OPINION DURING WARTIME by Christina Tomlinson Campbell University Faculty Mentor Jaclyn Stanke Campbell University Entertainment is always a national asset. Invaluable in times of peace, it is indispensable in wartime. All those who are working in the entertainment industry are building and maintaining national morale both on the battlefront and on the home front. 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 12, 1943 Whether or not we admit it, societies change in wartime. It is safe to say that after every war in America’s history, society undergoes large changes or embraces new mores, depending on the extent to which war has affected the nation. Some of the “smaller wars” in our history, like the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, have left little traces of change that scarcely venture beyond some territorial adjustments and honorable mentions in our textbooks. Other wars have had profound effects in their aftermath or began as a result of a 1 Telegram to the National Conference of the Entertainment Industry for War Activities, quoted in John Bush Jones, The Songs that Fought the War: Popular Music and the Home Front, 1939-1945 (Lebanon, NH: University Press of New England, 2006), 31. catastrophic event: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the current wars in the Middle East. These major conflicts create changes in society that are experienced in the long term, whether expressed in new legislation, changed social customs, or new ways of thinking about government. While some of these large social shifts may be easy to spot, such as the GI Bill or the baby boom phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, it is also interesting to consider the changed ways of thinking in modern societies as a result of war and the degree to which information is filtered.

McGinty Fund in History. McGinty Funds provided resources to travel to Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee in the spring of 2019 to conduct primary research for the project. “What did you hear, my blue-eyed son? What did you hear, my darling young one?” -Bob Dylan, “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” 1963 In the midst of victorious rhetoric from the government, disturbing insight from the news media, and chaos from the protests, people heard the music of the Vietnam War era. The 1960s was known as a time of change, ranging from revised social norms to changing political stances to new popular music. Everyone seemed to have something to say about the war, musicians being no exception. The folk revival in the 1960s introduced young listeners to a different sound, one of rebellion and critical thought about their country.

  • Megan A. Costello Announces the Sale of Her Chocolate Factory to Explore Flavorful New Pursuits
    June 17, 2021 Contact: Kerry Grant Geyser [email protected] Phone: 702.723.9274 CHIEF CHOCOLATE OFFICER, STEWARD OF WILLIAMS SONOMA’S PEPPERMINT BARK FOR 19 YEARS, PIVOTS TO NEW ADVENTURES IN CANDY LAND AND BEYOND Megan A. Costello announces the sale of her chocolate factory to explore flavorful new pursuits San Francisco, CA – Megan A. Costello, founder, and former co-owner and Chief Chocolate Officer (CCO) at Easton Malloy, Inc., makers of the world famous Williams Sonoma Original Peppermint Bark, announces her new endeavor. After designing and building their newest chocolate and confection manufacturing facility in 2019, Megan is now setting a new trajectory for her life with food, chocolate and her namesake Megan A. Costello brand. “I am an entrepreneur at heart so, for me, the thrill is in envisioning a company, designing equipment, building factories and creating products and flavor profiles. To be a creator one has to be free to create and leave behind the day-to-day duties.” The new Megan A. Costello brand offers her expertise in product and flavor design, and includes collaborations alongside established industry colleagues. “It was more than a sugar rush to build my first factory in San Francisco! The city had just taken a major hit from the first tech bubble bursting and there was plenty of space to grow. It was perfect timing for burgeoning food entrepreneurs bootstrapping businesses and, for those of us in food (especially chocolate), we helped each other. We didn’t have role models for some of what we were doing and making. We were not descendants from generations of chocolatiers, but we were passionate and determined.
