It’s hard to pinpoint the moment it occurs, but at some point while watching John Fogerty run through the highlights of his career at the Kodak Theater, one gets the distinct sensation of tapping the source.

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Movies , Politics as Usual When John Fogerty wrote the lyrics to 'Fortunate Son' in 1969, he didn't know how resonant the song would be. In fact, he didn't know if anyone would still care about his music in the near future. "I had no idea what the future would hold," the former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman tells Spinner. "I used to tell people...

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News The sound of a lonesome fiddle ringing out from the stage of Nashville's venerable Ryman Auditorium just before the curtain rises is nothing unusual. But it was also no indication of what was to come when John Fogerty and his nine-piece band ripped into 'Hey Tonight,' and nearly a dozen other Creedence Clearwater Revival swamp-rock classics. Sprinkled throughout...

It looked like a convention of guys from the Frequent Pee-er Commercials! Me at 57, the guy to me right 60 Something and the guy immediately in front of me, behind me - the Chicago Auditorium Theatre was thick with Middle Age until WXRT's Frankie Lee - rather generous in the length of his buckers himself - heads-upped the crowd of silver, white, flesh, and dye -jobbed gents and the infinitely younger...
