John Fogerty

I mean, I kind of knew it.

I was watching all the people I loved.

I'm talking about from being four or five years old all the way through growing up.

And, you know, things happen, Elvis, Motown, and Beatles, and all these things happen, and wow, you really like all that.

And meanwhile, you're having the dream of...

being in music somehow, but you never really know if you're gonna be able to do that or not.

I mean, this sorta spreads out in a lot of strange ways in entertainment.

I mean, I kind of make it similar to what if you're a baseball player and you dream of growing up and getting to the major leagues, right?

somebody becomes willie mays right and a lot of people don't you know and there's you just don't know there's that realization i mean for willie actually he was it was slow if you read about him him and derosier were kind of you know derosier could see it moody's kind of yeah um

So if you're lucky enough and you become Willie Mays, I mean, God bless you, right?

But there is that, for most of us, that moment that, well, sorry, kid.

You know, you're average, but we don't need average.

Right.

And that just happens a lot.

In music, there was people like me.

When the...

Four people that became Credence sort of got together in 1967 after I got off active duty.

And we said, okay, we're going to go for broke.

Yeah, okay, we'll have a democracy.

Yeah, we'll vote on everything.
