Coonskin caps, Yankee bats, the Hound Dog man's big start. The A-bomb fears, Annette had ears, I lusted in my heart.

More quotes by John Fogerty
Other people want a career or success because they think that will help them find their personal life somewhere. I've done it the other way around. What I have is what everybody else is looking for. I know I've got it made. I know I'm a very lucky man. That came first. Then the music and the career just kind of took care of themselves.
John Fogerty
Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo, the trick is to ride and make it to the bell.
John Fogerty
Vanz can't dance, but he'll steal your money.
John Fogerty
I usually destroy unreleased material. It has a way of coming back to haunt you.
John Fogerty
No, but I've always felt that with true talent, and a commitment to hard work, it is possible to achieve an enduring respect and appreciation. In other words, I don't take my fans for granted.
John Fogerty
When I'm standing at the Pearly Gates, I want to say to God, 'Don't look at the records. Look at my family. I'm much prouder about that part.'

With the Michael Moore movie, certain conservative talk show hosts call him un-American. Him and anybody else who says anything about the war... To question your country's policy, especially in a war that kills people, is definitely not un-American. It's probably the most patriotic thing you can do.

When I made Blue Moon Swamp, there was a lot of trial and error I was trying to find people who would be simpatico with my style, and with what I had in mind for the album.
John Fogerty
I stuck with that size because I could bend the strings so well, and somewhere along the line I must have gotten it into my mind that I had small hands, so I was thinking I'd never be able to play a full-scale guitar, but I also felt like I was cheating or cutting corners.
John Fogerty
I ain't got no time for a Caribbean cruise, just give me a song and a beer.
John Fogerty
I've also become much more the musician I've always wanted to be.
John Fogerty
The Telecaster doesn't really sound that good for the kind of rock and roll that a lot of people played.
John Fogerty
But I think beautiful is simple and elegant, like a ballad with simple harmony.
John Fogerty
I'm much more energetic now you might say live performance is my mission.
John Fogerty
You should play with real musicians the best music comes from real people interacting with each other.
John Fogerty
Long as I remember, rain been comin' down Clouds of mystery fallin', confusion on the ground Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun And I wonder, still I wonder: Who will stop the rain?
John Fogerty
I’m like a twenty two year old kid in a new band trying to get noticed and break through, because the vast majority of people have never seen me play live.
John Fogerty
In those days, I didn't know how guys like Clapton and Beck were getting that searing blues lead sound, so I developed my style to be rhythmic and chord-based, with simple lead lines that you could almost hum.
John Fogerty
I was deluding myself that the song was almost not important, but I think the real thing that was happening was almost like self-hypnosis or mediation. The guitar lick was the transcendental key that unlocked my brain. It freed me. And then it all became easy. It's funny now, because I've had times when it wasn't easy.
John Fogerty
