Green River - Creedence Clearwater Revival: Episode 165

Well! Take a walk along the Green River with us as we cause a Commotion about Creedence Clearwater Revival's era-defining third album, and their second record in just under a year! We'll learn how the band Golliwogged and Gossamer Wumped their way into a record contract and how they slowly imploded under John Fogerty's scrutiny. The Mixtaper challenges our understanding of what's possible with questionable "facts" about allergies, the USSR, and a tense induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Behold what the Bad Moon Rising represents, learn how the Lodi locals feel about being stuck there, and find out the ill-fated fortune that put Fogerty in a Tombstone Shadow this week. CCR Wrote A Song For Everyone, so fire up this record, cite your sources, and Keep On Chooglin' (and Spinning) with the most accurate source of information on the internet!
