led by singer john fogerty released a
4
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,839
slew of memorable rock and roll hits
5
00:00:07,918 --> 00:00:11,599
behind the scenes however the band's
6
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:13,919
surge to the top was marred by
7
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:16,960
infighting and lawsuits this is the
8
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:19,118
tragic real-life story of ccr
9
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,359
creedence clearwater revival's famous
10
00:00:19,118 --> 00:00:23,518
anti-war tuned fortunate sun
11
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:24,560
is sung from the perspective of a less
12
00:00:23,518 --> 00:00:27,278
privileged youth
13
00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:29,278
who cannot afford to evade the u.s draft
14
00:00:27,278 --> 00:00:30,800
the song has become synonymous with the
15
00:00:29,278 --> 00:00:33,119
era to the point of parody
16
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,039
songwriter john fogarty and drummer doug
17
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,039
clifford who formed a high school band
18
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:37,920
called the blue velvet along with john's
19
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:40,799
brother tom
20
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,920
and bassist stu cook lived this reality
21
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:44,558
when john and doug
22
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,679
were drafted bogerty knew that his draft
23
00:00:44,558 --> 00:00:47,839
number was coming up
24
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:48,960
so he immediately signed on to the us
25
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,120
army reserves
26
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,878
where he worked as a supply clerk while
27
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:55,280
only on active duty for six
28
00:00:52,878 --> 00:00:56,399
months fogarty traveled to fort bragg in
29
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,640
north carolina
30
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,640
underwent advanced individual training
31
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,520
at the quartermaster school in fort lee
32
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,520
virginia
33
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,719
and between those periods was stationed
34
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,118
at fort knox
35
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:09,118
despite living among fellow soldiers
36
00:01:07,118 --> 00:01:10,560
fogarty told the military times that the
37
00:01:09,118 --> 00:01:12,719
vietnam war was still
38
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,400
unpopular with his fellow countrymen
39
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:16,879
bogarty told the outlet
40
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,000
the war was very unpopular even with us
41
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:20,158
in the military
42
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,799
we weren't in love with that war nobody
43
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:24,640
really wanted to go fight in the jungle
44
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:26,640
fogerty's time in the military gave him
45
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,640
the perspective that eventually led him
46
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,840
to write many of his famous songs over
47
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,519
the rest of the decade
48
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,520
by 1968 as the war was still raging on
49
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:37,599
bogarde's and clifford's stints in the
50
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:39,840
army had concluded
51
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:41,719
by the time creedence clearwater revival
52
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,960
performed at woodstock in the summer of
53
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:45,280
1969
54
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,719
the band was at their zenith having just
55
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,879
released their third album
56
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:50,078
the critically acclaimed green river two
57
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,118
weeks prior
58
00:01:50,078 --> 00:01:54,078
ccr came into woodstock as arguably the
59
00:01:53,118 --> 00:01:56,000
top act
60
00:01:54,078 --> 00:01:58,000
john fogerty had this to say about
61
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,399
walking onto the stage that night
62
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
by the time we got to woodstock i felt
63
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:04,640
we were the number one band
64
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,040
assuming that the beatles were god i
65
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,680
thought
66
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,239
that we were the next thing under them
67
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,560
however
68
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,039
as reported by the chicago tribune
69
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,878
fogarty was so disappointed in ccr's
70
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:16,159
performance that he refused to allow
71
00:02:14,878 --> 00:02:18,318
their music to be part of the
72
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:19,280
documentary and live album released the
73
00:02:18,318 --> 00:02:20,958
next year
74
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,560
the band's performance because of
75
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:23,280
technical difficulties and weather
76
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,598
delays
77
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,039
was pushed past midnight on sunday
78
00:02:25,598 --> 00:02:30,399
august 17th
79
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:32,878
as ccr performed to the 500 000 strong
80
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,760
audience bogarty said the concert goers
81
00:02:32,878 --> 00:02:36,239
were quote
82
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:36,959
all intertwined and asleep covered with
83
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:39,039
mud
84
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:41,280
in an interview with the la times
85
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:43,120
fogarty looked back on the festival and
86
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,878
partially blamed their performance on
87
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,599
the grateful dead playing too long
88
00:02:44,878 --> 00:02:48,479
before
89
00:02:45,598 --> 00:02:50,479
well we were promised at prime time on a
90
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:52,878
saturday night like nine o'clock
91
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:54,238
yeah uh what they didn't tell me is
92
00:02:52,878 --> 00:02:57,598
you're gonna follow
93
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:58,080
the grateful dead live for live music
94
00:02:57,598 --> 00:03:00,799
says
95
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,560
rain badly damaged the dead's equipment
96
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,599
and the band only played five
97
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,158
songs during their hour and a half set
98
00:03:05,598 --> 00:03:10,318
whether it was the beatles in the 1960s
99
00:03:08,158 --> 00:03:13,120
fleetwood mac in the 1970s
100
00:03:10,318 --> 00:03:14,318
or guns and roses in the 1980s bands
101
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,920
tend to hit snags
102
00:03:14,318 --> 00:03:18,079
once they've reached the top of the
103
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,479
mountain creedence clearwater revival
104
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,400
is only unique in this perspective in
105
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,840
terms of how much contempt the band
106
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,400
mates felt for each other
107
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,039
or to be honest toward their leader john
108
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,799
fogerty
109
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:30,878
following the release of their debut
110
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:31,519
album and the success of the single suzy
111
00:03:30,878 --> 00:03:33,679
q
112
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:35,680
the band entered their first hollywood
113
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,159
studio to work on proud mary
114
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,360
fogarty told sweden's pop magazine that
115
00:03:38,158 --> 00:03:41,199
during the session
116
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,959
the three other members became
117
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,798
interested in having more of a say in
118
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:45,598
the band's songwriting and recording
119
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:48,159
process
120
00:03:45,598 --> 00:03:49,280
bogerty who aside from rehearsals and
121
00:03:48,158 --> 00:03:51,598
live recordings
122
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,598
worked alone on the band's music sat
123
00:03:51,598 --> 00:03:55,679
down at dinner with the band and plainly
124
00:03:53,598 --> 00:03:58,079
told them that his direction could keep
125
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,719
them from returning to washing cars
126
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,879
despite being the youngest member of ccr
127
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,680
and the younger sibling to bandmate tom
128
00:04:02,878 --> 00:04:05,919
fogerty
129
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,680
john was in charge and under his strong
130
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:09,039
and uncompromising leadership
131
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,120
the band was the hottest group in
132
00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:14,239
america between 1969
133
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,280
and 1971. the group was a regular at
134
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:17,680
summer festivals
135
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,519
and on the pop charts however they were
136
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,680
also a ticking time bomb
137
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:24,079
with tom threatening multiple times to
138
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,959
leave because of john
139
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:29,198
despite overthrowing the beatles by 1969
140
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:31,198
as the highest selling band in the world
141
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:32,319
credence clearwater revival could not
142
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:34,400
sustain itself
143
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:35,439
john fogerty was described as an
144
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,679
autocrat by
145
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:38,800
uncut and even admitted later in life
146
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,519
that he held quote
147
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,360
maniacal control over the band per the
148
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:45,198
vh1 documentary legends
149
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,520
john fogerty and creedence clearwater
150
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:49,120
revival the group had reached a boiling
151
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:51,198
point by 1970.
152
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,639
doug clifford had this to say things
153
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:53,600
were getting very difficult in the
154
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:55,759
business arena
155
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,680
it was taking a toll on john it was
156
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:59,040
taking a toll on us because we weren't
157
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,639
involved in these meetings and we
158
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,199
weren't getting information back from
159
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:02,800
jon
160
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,478
a meeting was called on the eve of
161
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,319
recording their seventh album
162
00:05:04,478 --> 00:05:08,399
and the three other members of ccr
163
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:10,319
demanded more say in the band
164
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:12,239
rising pressure within the band his
165
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:14,319
failing marriage to his wife martha
166
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,560
and the desire to remain on top of the
167
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:18,319
music scene eventually led john to
168
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000
concede to their demands
169
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,918
as much as we hated each other it all
170
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,279
came back like we liked each other more
171
00:05:21,918 --> 00:05:24,959
than anybody else
172
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,119
soon after the meeting that was supposed
173
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:28,478
to ease the tension between john and the
174
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,519
rest of the members of creedence

in the band

said of the anger between the two
183
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,520
brothers tom had put up with a lot of
184
00:05:44,478 --> 00:05:48,079
stuff from john
185
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,359
he didn't want tom to succeed tom tried
186
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,359
to downplay his accent
187
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,560
saying it wasn't planned that there was
188
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,479
no bad blood
189
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,319

now had more power in ccr with fewer
192
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:03,758
members and john loosening the reigns
193
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:06,800
still tom left the biggest band in the
194
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:09,439
world at their peak with tom gone
195
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,800
and the quartet down to a power trio it
196
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:12,959
was time for creedence clearwater
197
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,759
revival to return to the studio and bump
198
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:17,599
out another classic album
199
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:18,400
1972's mardi gras that was the plan at
200
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,080
least
201
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:22,239
with the continued tension and anger in
202
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:24,079
the band toward leader john fogarty the
203
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,840
three split the songwriting and singing
204
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:28,478
responsibilities between them
205
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,119
and ccr's seventh studio album became
206
00:06:28,478 --> 00:06:31,359
their final
207
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,439
and most disappointing rolling stones
208
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,080
john landau even called mardi gras
209
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:36,959
the worst album released by a major rock
210
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,038
group
211
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:40,959
however the album was boosted to number
212
00:06:39,038 --> 00:06:43,120
12 on the billboard album chart
213
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:44,318
thanks to the john fogerty penned tune
214
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,000
sweet hitchhiker
215
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:48,000
john only wrote three songs for the
216
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,639
album though and sang a cover
217
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,038
of ricky nelson's hello mary lou stu
218
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:52,800
cook
219
00:06:51,038 --> 00:06:54,879
and doug clifford took the new freedom
220
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,240
fogerty gave them and penned and sang
221
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:58,159
their own songs
222
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,720
the album failed to generate the same
223
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,080
critical and commercial success as ccr's
224
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,400
previous efforts
225
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:06,159
songs by both stu cook and john fogerty
226
00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:08,239
seem to describe their strained
227
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,280
relationship and the band's inevitable
228
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,680
demise
229
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,079
such as take it like a friend by cook
230
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,079
and looking for a reason by fogarty
231
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,918
according to the daily review fogarty
232
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,598
told john landau that he allowed the
233
00:07:17,918 --> 00:07:21,839
members to sing their songs to
234
00:07:19,598 --> 00:07:23,439
illustrate how much better he was by
235
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:25,519
comparison
236
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:27,598
unsurprisingly mardi gras was the last
237
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:30,079
straw for credence clearwater revival
238
00:07:27,598 --> 00:07:32,240
and the group dissolved shortly after
239
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:32,800
however this wasn't the end of conflicts
240
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,519
between
241
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,079
ccr and john fogerty fogarty fought
242
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:39,758
everyone connected to ccr's music
243
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:41,598
and in the years after the band's
244
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,520
breakup that included the label that
245
00:07:41,598 --> 00:07:45,680
owned the songs he wrote and sang
246
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:47,120
for decades bogarty refused to perform
247
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,800
his old ccr songs
248
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,800
blaming the bad deal he made with
249
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,759
fantasy records in his early days for
250
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,160
his boycott
251
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:56,160
per the deal fantasy had the exclusive
252
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,400
publishing rights to fogarty's music
253
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,639
fogarty and fantasy records head saul
254
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:01,839
zens grew to hate each other during and
255
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:04,960
after ccr
256
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:07,038
when the group broke up in 1972 saul
257
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:09,038
refused to let john out of his contract
258
00:08:07,038 --> 00:08:11,519
something he did for the other members
259
00:08:09,038 --> 00:08:13,519
until he fulfilled the agreement as a
260
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:14,318
result fogarty refused to work with
261
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,240
zentz
262
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,360
when zens sold off his interest in
263
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,280
fantasy records
264
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,680
fogarty returned to the label released
265
00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:23,359
the album revival in 2007
266
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,120
and became more comfortable performing
267
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,800
his old songs again
268
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,800
tom and john fogerty's story
269
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360
unfortunately does not have a happy
270
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,879
ending
271
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,599
after leaving creedence clearwater
272
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,639
revival tom firmly put himself in saul
273
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:36,719
sense's camp
274
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:38,000
in john's legal battles against saul and
275
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:39,760
fantasy records
276
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,200
john said he attempted to mend fences
277
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:41,759
with his brother for the sake of their
278
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,680
mother
279
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:45,439
the pair talked on the phone and agreed
280
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,239
to write down the grievances they had
281
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,240
with each other
282
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,639
so they could work them out however
283
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,959
after jon accused his brother of suing
284
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,759
him
285
00:08:50,958 --> 00:08:56,719
and tom denied it the pair split again
286
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:58,639
tom had filed suit against john in 1978
287
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,920
though tom dropped the suit five years
288
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,159
later tragically
289
00:08:59,919 --> 00:09:03,199
in the 1980s tom went to the hospital
290
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:05,278
for back surgery
291
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,278
he received a blood transfusion and
292
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:09,679
became infected with the hiv
293
00:09:07,278 --> 00:09:11,439
virus from tainted blood i love classic
294
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,439
rock reports that the pair never
295
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,600
reconciled before tom's death
296
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,360
leaving john to move forward regretting
297
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,360
his fallout with his brother
298
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,600
john had this to say about forgiving his
299
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,159
brother at some point i made a point to
300
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,159
myself
301
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:25,919
of forgiving my brother i just felt like
302
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:27,759
i had to do that because he wasn't
303
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:28,559
around for me to get to work it out with
304
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:30,480
him
305
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,399
the only positive aspect of credence
306
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,240
clearwater revival's rock and roll hall
307
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,679
of fame induction ceremony was that it
308
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,759
didn't turn into a riot
309
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,679
aside from that the ceremony was racked
310
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:40,879
with bitter emotions between the three
311
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,639
surviving members
312
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:44,958
following the presentation given by
313
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:46,159
bruce springsteen and speeches from the
314
00:09:44,958 --> 00:09:48,399
three living members
315
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:50,000
a reunion performance was expected but
316
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:51,919
john fogerty refused to share
317
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
the stage with stu cook and doug
318
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:56,079
clifford and instead gave a performance
319
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,879
with a band of other rock musicians
320
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,080
leaving two ccr members to watch others
321
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:02,159
play their songs
322
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,160
the reason for the snub was fogarty's
323
00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:05,679
bitterness over the continued lawsuits
324
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:07,519
against him by fantasy
325
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,599
which the two surviving members had a
326
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:11,440
role in in his autobiography
327
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,278
fogarty wrote about the bad blood
328
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,519
between himself and clifford that led to
329
00:10:13,278 --> 00:10:18,240
the difficult induction ceremony
330
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:20,078
in 1985 fogarty released a song called
331
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,799
the old man down the road
332
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:24,799
saul zentz ultimately sued fogarty over
333
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:26,399
the song because it sounded too similar
334
00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:28,399
to the ccr tune
335
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:29,600
run through the jungle which was also
336
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,519
written by fogerty
337
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,839
i've written a new song and they want to
338
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:37,440
contend that the new song
339
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:38,399
plagiarizes their song writing in his
340
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,240
autobiography
341
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:41,519
fogarty revealed that his lawyers had
342
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,759
asked saul zens
343
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:45,519
why he sued john for the old man down
344
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:46,958
the road and zentz told him that
345
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,519
clifford had played the song in his
346
00:10:46,958 --> 00:10:50,000
office
347
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:51,440
and pushed the record executive to sue
348
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,919
bogarty felt betrayed
349
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,920
and after learning of ccr's induction he
350
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:58,399
originally didn't even want to stand
351
00:10:55,919 --> 00:11:00,879
next to his former bandmates
352
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:03,200
while a true credence clearwater revival
353
00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,919
reunion is impossible without tom
354
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,519
fogerty
355
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:07,039
there have still been rumors and hopes
356
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:09,039
that the three surviving members will
357
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:11,519
put aside their differences and perform
358
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:12,559
under the ccr name this has largely been
359
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:15,278
wishful thinking
360
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,078
as the band remains extremely angry at
361
00:11:15,278 --> 00:11:18,799
each other
362
00:11:16,078 --> 00:11:19,919
in 1995 following the rock and roll hall
363
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:22,479
of fame snub
364
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:24,479
doug clifford and stu cook began touring
365
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,240
as credence clearwater revisited
366
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,159
the group announced their retirement
367
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,320
following their 2019 tour
368
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:32,000
which irked john fogerty as the
369
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,320
announcement came right at the beginning
370
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,799
of his residency in las vegas
371
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,879
fogarty had sued the duo in the past
372
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:39,919
challenging the use of a similar name to
373
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:41,759
the original band
374
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:43,679
and forcing them to change it until an
375
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:46,559
appellate court ruled in their favor
376
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,599
in 2014 the two members and the estate
377
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,759
of tom fogarty
378
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,800
sued john for trademark infringement
379
