He went down to Fantasy and saw Mr. Saul's ants and said, John is ripping off Credence.
The irony in all of that is that I had taught Stu every single note that he ever played in Creedence.
It was not his own creation.
I was the guy inventing the arrangements.
And so to take possession of Creedence was pretty ironic and pretty over the top.
Anyway, he talks Saul into suing me, and Saul had unlimited funds.
And so it went to a trial.
I prevailed that trial and got that over with.
Well, it's a blessing to the world, I think, that I prevailed.
I mean, you know, what we're really talking about is when...
You come into the consciousness of the world, I guess, and you have a certain style, if you're lucky.
And so you start creating whatever your art is.
You're an actor or you're a painter or, in my case, a musician.
And people start liking the style.
Well, how unfair would it be that at some point somebody takes ownership of your style and now says, you have to go back and invent some other style, be some other person.
You know, it's just that would be really difficult.
Imagine Dylan or Springsteen or all the other people that have their own style having to.
