The legendary musician and songwriter talks about his love for Bruce Springsteen’s anti-trump protest for music in an interview
“I knew I had done something extraordinary”say John Fogerty On your years with the Creedence Clearwater Revival In the new episode of the Podcast Rolling Stone Music Now. “In a sense, I did what the Beatles did, but I did everything myself. I didn’t have two other guys to compose songs with me.”
For your new album, Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Yearsof August 22, Fogerty rewritten the classics (from “Born on Bayou” THE “Have you ever seen the rain”) with his children Shane and Tyler who join the sessions. In our new interview with Podcast, Fogerty dives into Creedence’s roots, complies with his former band producers and much more.

Some salient points below:
Fogerty is happy that her friend Bruce Springsteen spoke against Trump and thinks that the president made a tactical error that even Richard Nixon would have avoided calling him by name.“I am very proud of Bruce for simply defending his values and not being afraid to express them. Even if he is very similar, President Nixon would have understood that he should not advertise the other part by recognizing and talking about it. Because you only make it famous when he does it.”
Fogerty is not very impressed by the song AI, even if false bands like Velvet Sundown feel a sound vaguely similar to that of Creedence.“All this is the music of the elevator. All this. That lift can climb on many more floors than the Empire State Building, yet it would be only lift music. It is a machine. It is artificially created, falsely and for the wrong reasons. There is no real anguish. There is no real experience, so obviously I don’t like it.”
The swampy sound of the guitar highlighted in “Born on the Bayou” was the Fogerty version of the Tremolo who wore the guitarist of the singers, Pops Staples.“This was the very unusual sound of pop. I think the first album I remember was Uncloudy day [de 1956]. I used the vibrato mixed with tremolo [em um amplificador Kustom]And this was the killer effect. “
Even after decades of disagreements, Fogerty recognizes the single chemistry of the original CCR formation.“These are the four people who made those records. And this has not been repeated in history. So, of course, these four human beings are unique human. I will still give a lot of credit to the feeling of something like something ‘Proud Mary’ OR ‘Born on Bayou’. And there is a mystery in this: there is an aura or mysterious ingredient that I will not be here sitting here saying that I was in the pocket. “
The incredible production of Fogerty in 1969 – The Year Creedence released three classic albums – came from despair.“I said: Well, basically now I am an artist of a single success[IriforzioneAsucessodellarilettura[emreferênciaaoscioscareleitura[inriferimentoalsuccessodellarilettura[emreferênciaaosucessodareleitura‘Surzie q’. And I also realized: ‘We want so much time to get here. Now you have only five minutes to take the next step, because the spotlight will turn to Led Zeppelin Or someone like this. It will end for you if it doesn’t invent something now. ‘ “
