John fogerty gay
Ahh yes &#;YMCA&#;, a party staple since Just like everyone in the English speaking world knows &#;Jingle Bell Rock&#; (Mean Girls reference), everyone in the English speaking world has danced to &#;YMCA&#;. Doesn&#;t matter if you&#;re gay, bi, or straight. Doesn&#;t matter if you&#;re a Greatest Generation, Silent Generation, Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, or Gen Z. Doesn&#;t matter what your political persuasion is. You know this song. You may find it tired, but it&#;s guaranteed to be played at any party. It was all over the place in the disco-dominated belated 70s and this dance tune has remained relevant nearly 50 years later. In , synth-pop sensation Chappell Roan wrote her own homage with a sapphic twist, &#;Hot To Go&#;, and it&#;s infectious and complete with its own little dance with arm motions. It&#;s no surprise that President-elect Donald Trump loves this song. It&#;s catchy. Of course with Trump being Trump, he&#;s gonna do his goofy little YMCA dance that looks like he just got out of the shower and he&#;s holding a towel and he&#;s got either side of the towel in his
We all know the excellent album Brothers in Arms from Dire Straits, but sometimes those brothers are &#;at arms&#; rather than in them. In part three of the mini-series with Max from PowerPop who covered Ray and Davie Davies last week, in todays instalment I discuss the Fogerty brothers.
“Proud Mary” written by John Fogerty was CCR’s first big strike single peaking at #2.
Tom was the elder of the two brothers, he was born in () and John was born in , now age They were born in Berkley but grew up in El Cerrito, California. Tom signed a log contract in but had little success in terms of recording a clap . John and his band would eventually provide backing to Tom and this led to the creation of the Golliwogs where John and Tom joint lead vocals. By the time Credence Clearwater Revival (CCR) had formed in , John had stepped to the forefront as lead singer, guitar player, and principal songwriter.
That is Tom on the left and John on the right.
CCR would go on to what is now regarded as legendary victory. Between and they released six albums, two of them charting #1. The
John Fogerty vividly remembers the first second he ever position foot on the Hollywood Bowl stage.
It was June 14, and his band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, had several monster hits on the radio and topping the music charts, including &#;Suzie Q,&#; &#;Proud Mary,&#; &#;Born on the Bayou&#; and &#;Bad Lunar Rising.&#;
Fogerty, who grew up in the Bay Area, said he&#;d heard of other acts carrying out at the Hollywood Bowl, including the Beatles and the Doors, so forking over about $10, to a promoter — who may or may not have still been living at place with his parents at the period — to secure a date at the iconic Southern California venue sounded like a reliable investment back then.
&#;Things are quite distinct now,&#; the now year-old singer-songwriter said with laugh as he recounted the transaction during a recent phone interview. &#;That was a bunch of wealth back then, but it went off well. It was Creedence at the height of their glory, you might say, and it was a lot of fun.&#;
Fogerty has since performed at the venue, which is currently celebrating its th season, numerous times and w

The meaning of &#;Centerfield&#; according to John Fogerty:
In a conversation with The New York Times back in , John Fogerty explained the definition of the song and revealed that he first chose the name of the album as &#;Centerfield&#; before even writing the song: “Basically, I was reconnecting with that very special feeling I had about center field as a kid.&#;
&#;People didn’t understand what it meant, but it was important to me. It took me a while to recollect about center field and how I felt about it. But once it came into my consciousness, I thought: ‘Oh, that’s perfect. That’s exactly what I want to say.’”
The musician continued revealing that the the line &#;put me in coach&#; was a memory of what he used to narrate hi
