this is one of my all time favorites, maybe cause I wasted so many years playing in bands and can relate, something about Fogerty's voice in this that always gets me.
"maybe cause I wasted so many years playing in bands" Say What!! One of lifes great gifts & pleasures...the ability to create music! Some of the best times of my life..young..on stage..crankin the Marshall...young ladies..road trips...smokey clubs... ahole club owners...sh$tty pay...loud drunks...bar fights...back breaking gear humping...no rent $$..........ah........never mind!
When I feel like that, I don't really care to listen to stuff to cheer me up. I'd rather listen to darker stuff like this.
