Summary: Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Start Chooglin' Again!
Review: This is a thorough, outstanding work of investigation. It unfolds a story that's bound to surprise and astonish all serious Creedence fans no matter how well informed they may think they are. CCR is the only major Rock 'n Roll act that all but vanished withouth a single explanation after just three years of hits in a row. Its leader John Fogerty spent the most part of the next 20 years in seclusion marred by litigation. In spite of all that, Creedence music has reached mythic proportions. This book says why. After finishing it, you'll never listen to CCR in the same way anymore. Be prepared!

Summary: Book Description, Author Information
Review: Though only together for a few years, CCR captured the imagination of a generation with leader John Fogerty's catchy songwriting, vibrant guitar playing, and strong vocals. Yet, it was not an easy ride to fame; Fogerty's creative leadership was resented by the other band members, and ill-conceived contracts with their management and record company left the group burdened with crippling artistic obligations and relatively little to show for their work. The upshot has been a quarter-century of legal wrangling, broken careers, and-worst of all-lost potential. This book tells it all through interviews with the surviving band members, their managers, producers, and families. It draws on thousands of documents and court records-many made available to this author for the first time-to tell the group's story. Hank Bordowitz has contributed articles to Spin, Guitar Player and Musician, plus dozens more.

Summary: one sided
Review: Yes, this is an interesting book filled with trite adjectives and obvious digs at John Fogerty. The view from the sideline can only come from one side. Claiming Fogerty is mentally ill is the best way to bolster Stu and Doug's backup talent. The book states that doug and stu were in it for fun and were not as focused and driven as John. Sometimes true genius is a burden because it has a mind of it's own. John was/is harder on himself than he ever could be on you two. You need to get over yourselves and realize that you were lucky as hell. John made you both rich so that you may continue to play around with music, not that anyone noticed.
