John Fogerty

Well, there was more than one lawsuit, but the betrayal by the people in my band, you know.

I just told you about a very evil man, right?

Yeah.

And I'm the only guy from Credence who's ever actually mentioned that he's an evil person to the extent that quite publicly my brother Tom –

right during the same time was saying that Saul was his best friend.

Oh, Jesus.

It was just really hard to deal with.

The other two guys in the band were kind of just more cowardly about it.

They just never spoke up.

Just kind of, give me the money.

And he was signed, re-signed after the breakup of Credence.

He kind of shopped around and didn't have much success finding a label.

And so he went right about the time that this trial was going to happen.

He re-signed with Fantasy.

I'm talking about the first trial.

The first trial was about... Basically, the band had lost its life savings.

All of us in Creedence... The record company had gotten us into this offshore tax plan.

And I'm saying this with a smile because nowadays it just sounds so...

You know, if some guy comes walking up to you and got a trench coat on a corner in New York City, hey, buddy, you know, you're probably going to avoid that guy.

But the record company was in this tax thing.
