John Fogerty

They're the ones that decide, because so often a new Jimmy album would come out, that sort of thing.

I didn't know any of this way back then.

I just wondered who was driving the bus.

So, I mean, that part was...

Was pretty good.

He had to talk to somebody at Reprise Records, and some of those people were Reprise Warner Brothers.

In other words, about the time I was at Warner Brothers, it must have been a couple of them that decided that way back in the 60s.

I guess I was a little envious because I sure didn't own my masters.

That's for sure.

How many people owned their own masters back then?

Nobody.

That's crazy.

How do you think he got that deal?

That I don't know.

I don't know how it came about that he was able to have that much influence.

I mean, that's the part...

I did get the inference from at least one of the books I read about Jimmy that they didn't try too hard to save him.

Jimmy, I guess, was just really effed up for a couple of weeks there.

I mean, I almost got the sense that somebody took a bottle of wine and just...

Poured it in him.
